CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 455

An IT technician is attempting to access a user’s workstation on the corporate network but needs more information from the user before an invitation can be sent. Which of the following command-line tools should the technician instruct the user to run?

Answer options

• A. nslookup
• B. tracert
• C. hostname
• D. gpresult

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the 'hostname' command displays the name of the current computer, which is essential for identification on the network. Options A and B ('nslookup' and 'tracert') are used for network diagnostics, and D ('gpresult') is used for Group Policy results, neither of which provides the specific workstation name needed in this scenario.
