CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 411

A technician is manually updating Windows workstations. Each workstation is currently running Windows Pro in a workgroup environment. Which of the following changes can the technician make to create a more manageable environment?

Answer options

• A. Downgrade all workstations from the Pro version to the Home version of the OS.
• B. Upgrade all workstations from the Pro version to Pro for Workstations.
• C. Create a domain and join the workstations to the domain for management purposes.
• D. Make sure all workstations are operating under the same workgroup name.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating a domain allows for centralized management of the workstations, enabling easier administration of policies and resources. Options A and B are incorrect as downgrading or upgrading the OS versions do not address manageability in a workgroup environment. Option D, while ensuring uniformity in workgroup names, does not provide the enhanced management capabilities that a domain would offer.
