CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 239

An administrator is setting up a Windows terminal server.
Which of the following settings should the administrator modify to increase server security? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Change the default access port
• B. Enforce password complexity
• C. Put the terminal server into the router's DMZ
• D. Disable logon time restrictions
• E. Block all unused ports on the LAN smart switch
• F. Use the local client certificate for server authentication

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Changing the default access port (A) helps obscure the server from potential attackers scanning for standard ports. Enforcing password complexity (B) ensures that user passwords are robust, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. The other options either do not significantly contribute to security or could introduce vulnerabilities.
