CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 390

A technician needs to configure a user's PC so it can be powered on remotely by another employee who will be working at the help desk after hours. The technician puts the employee in the correct organizational unit; however, the employee is still unable to connect.
Which of the following settings should the technician configure?

Answer options

• A. Remote Assistance
• B. Firewall exceptions
• C. Static IP address
• D. Wake-on-LAN

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Wake-on-LAN, as this feature specifically allows a computer to be powered on remotely over a network. The other options do not provide the capability to wake up a machine remotely; Remote Assistance is for remote support, Firewall exceptions may allow connections but do not enable remote power-on, and a Static IP address is unrelated to remote powering capabilities.
