CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 263

An administrator has been asked to disable CPU hyperthreading on a server to satisfy a licensing issue. Which of the following best describes how the administrator will likely perform this action?

Answer options

• A. Use an RDP/VNC session.
• B. Modify the startup configuration.
• C. Use a PowerShell/Bash script.
• D. Use the BIOS/UEFI setup.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct method to disable CPU hyperthreading is through the BIOS/UEFI setup, as this setting is typically managed at the firmware level. Using an RDP/VNC session (A) or a PowerShell/Bash script (C) would not provide access to these low-level hardware settings, and modifying the startup configuration (B) does not relate to hardware features like hyperthreading.
