CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 411

A technician notices a workstation is connecting to an IP address on the network and wants to determine the machine name that belongs to that IP address. Which of the following commands should the technician use?

Answer options

• A. gpresult
• B. ipconfig
• C. nslookup
• D. net user

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct command is nslookup, as it is specifically designed to query DNS to find the hostname associated with an IP address. The other options, such as gpresult, ipconfig, and net user, do not provide this functionality and are used for different purposes related to group policies, network configuration, and user account information, respectively.
