CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 491

A technician needs to recommend a way to keep company devices for field and home-based staff up to date. The users live in various places across the country and the company has several national offices that stair can go no for technical support. Which of the following methods is most appropriate for the users?

Answer options

• A. Make office attendance mandatory for one day per week so that updates can be installed.
• B. Ask users to ensure that they run updates on devices and reboot computers on a regular basis.
• C. Push updates out via VPN on a weekly basis in a staggered manner so that the network is not affected.
• D. Configure cloud-based endpoint management software to automatically manage computer updates.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as cloud-based endpoint management software allows for seamless and automatic updates without requiring users to be present in the office. Option A is impractical for remote workers, while B relies on user initiative, which may lead to inconsistencies. Option C, although feasible, can still stress the network and may not be as efficient as the automated solution provided by option D.
