CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 147

A cloud administrator has been using a custom VM deployment script. After three months of use, the script no longer joins the LDAP domain. The cloud administrator verifies the account has the correct permissions. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the failure?

Answer options

• A. Incorrect encryption ciphers
• B. Broken trust relationship
• C. Invalid certificates
• D. Expired password

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The most likely cause of the failure is that the password has expired, which would prevent the script from successfully joining the LDAP domain. The other options, such as incorrect encryption ciphers, broken trust relationships, and invalid certificates, are less likely to be the root cause if permissions are confirmed to be correct.
