CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 18

A company brings in contractors several times a year to perform inventory, and the contractors use company-supplied laptops. The company's security policy states that once the inventory is completed, the contractors should not be able to log in to the laptops until the next inventory.
Which of the following BEST enforces this policy?

Answer options

• A. Delete the user accounts
• B. Disable the user accounts
• C. Restrict the user accounts
• D. Reset the user accounts

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Disabling the user accounts is the best option as it prevents the contractors from logging in without deleting their accounts, which allows for easy reactivation later. Deleting the accounts would require creating new ones for the contractors each time, while restricting accounts does not fully prevent access. Resetting accounts may allow immediate access again, which contradicts the policy.
