Question #91
A user wants to use several used computers to set up a low-cost lab at home to study and test scripts for managing servers.
Which of the following would be the best operating system choice?
- A . macOS
- B . Linux
- C . ChromeOS
- D . Windows
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
A low-cost home lab for practicing server management and scripting strongly points to Linux because it is widely available at no cost and is designed to support many server-style workloads. The All-in-One guide states plainly: “Linux is a popular, free, open source operating system,” and notes that there are many distributions (distros), giving flexibility for different needs. Quentin Docter adds key context about Linux’s purpose: Linus Torvalds created it as “a completely open source operating system for the world to use… completely free for anyone to use,” and highlights that many Linux distributions exist today.
From a cost standpoint, Docter’s licensing section defines open source as “not only… free, but the source code… is also shared,” and explicitly lists “OSs such as Linux” as open source examples. This directly supports “low-cost.”
Finally, Linux is a common target environment for real server administration and scripting practice (shell tools, package repositories, services), making it the best match versus ChromeOS/macOS/Windows for this lab goal.

Question #92
A help desk team was alerted that a company-owned cell phone has an unrecognized password-cracking application.
Which of the following should the help desk team do to prevent further unauthorized installations from occurring?
- A . Configure Group Policy.
- B . Implement PAM.
- C . Install anti-malware software.
- D . Deploy MDM.
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
Mobile Device Management (MDM) is used to control, monitor, and enforce policies on mobile devices. It allows IT teams to restrict app installations, push approved apps, and monitor device compliance. Deploying MDM would prevent unauthorized applications, such as password crackers, from being installed on company-managed devices.

Question #93
An endpoint’s screensaver no longer activates automatically. The global security policy states that the screensaver should activate after the endpoint has been idle for an hour.
Which of the following commands should the technician run on the endpoint to investigate this issue?
- A . msinfo32.exe
- B . gpresult
- C . sfc /scannow
- D . whoami
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
Because the requirement is defined by a global security policy, the key question is whether the endpoint is actually receiving and applying the correct Group Policy Object (GPO) settings for screensaver timeout and enforcement. The best command to investigate applied policy is gpresult, which produces the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) information. Quentin Docter explains: “The gpresult command is used to show the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) report/values for a remote user and computer,” and it helps determine “which settings apply” when policies can be set at the local workstation, domain, user, and computer levels. He notes the /r switch provides a summary and /z gives detailed, “super-verbosity” output showing exact settings being applied.
The All-in-One guide similarly states gpresult gives “a quick overview of all security policies applied to a single user or computer,” which is precisely what you need when a policy-driven screensaver setting isn’t behaving as expected. msinfo32 shows system info, sfc repairs corrupted files, and whoami shows identity―none confirm applied GPO settings like gpresult.

Question #94
Which of the following is an example of malware that runs on the device and uses built-in sensors to monitor targets without their consent?
- A . Spyware
- B . Rootkit
- C . Trojan
- D . Stalkerware
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
The key clue is “uses built-in sensors to monitor targets without their consent.” In the All-in-One Exam Guide’s mobile security coverage, it explains that modern devices can be abused for unauthorized location tracking and that device settings or apps may send location information “to third parties, sometimes without explicit consent or knowledge.” It also warns about unauthorized camera and microphone activation, stating that “app features, malware, and unauthorized network connections can potentially be used to activate… built-in cameras and microphones,” which enables an attacker to “effectively spy on anyone near it.” The Mike Meyers Lab Manual mirrors this exactly: unauthorized tracking can occur without explicit consent and built-in cameras/microphones are “of particular concern” because they let an attacker spy nearby.
That specific “surveillance via sensors” behavior aligns best with stalker ware (a spyware-style category focused on covert monitoring). By contrast, a rootkit’s hallmark is hiding itself using low-level OS control, and a Trojan primarily masquerades as something harmless. Therefore, D is the best answer.
