CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 2

A server in a remote datacenter is no longer responsive. Which of the following is the BEST solution to investigate this failure?

Answer options

• A. Remote desktop
• B. Access via a crash cart
• C. Out-of-band management
• D. A Secure Shell connection

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Out-of-band management allows administrators to access and manage servers even when the operating system is unresponsive, making it the best choice for investigating server failures. Remote desktop, crash carts, and Secure Shell connections require the server to be operational or accessible, which is not the case here.
