CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 287

An administrator is troubleshooting performance issues on a server that was recently upgraded. The administrator met with users/stakeholders and documented recent changes in an effort to determine whether the server is better or worse since the changes.

Which of the following would BEST help answer the server performance question?

Answer options

• A. Server performance thresholds
• B. A server baseline
• C. A hardware compatibility list
• D. An application service-level agreement

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best way to determine changes in server performance after an upgrade is by using a server baseline, which provides a point of reference for performance metrics. Server performance thresholds, a hardware compatibility list, and an application service-level agreement do not provide the necessary historical data needed to evaluate the impact of recent changes.
