CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 218

A new application server has been configured in the cloud to provide access to all clients within the network. On-site users are able to access all resources, but remote users are reporting issues connecting to the new application. The server administrator verifies that all users are configured with the appropriate group memberships. Which of the following is most likely causing the issue?

Answer options

• A. Telnet connections are disabled on the server.
• B. Role-based access control is misconfigured.
• C. There are misconfigured firewall rules.
• D. Group policies have not been applied.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The most likely cause of the connectivity issues for remote users is misconfigured firewall rules, which may be blocking their access to the application server. While Telnet connections and role-based access control issues could be potential problems, they are less likely to specifically affect remote user connectivity. Group policies not being applied would typically not affect access in this scenario, as the server administrator has confirmed correct group memberships.
