CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 29

A systems analyst is limiting user access to system configuration keys and values in a Windows environment. Which of the following describes where the analyst can find these configuration items?

Answer options

• A. config.ini
• B. ntds.dit
• C. Master boot record
• D. Registry

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the Windows Registry is the primary database for system configuration settings and options. Options A and B are incorrect because config.ini is typically used for application settings and ntds.dit is related to Active Directory data. Option C, the Master boot record, is crucial for booting the operating system but does not store configuration keys and values.
