CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 335

Which of the following, if properly configured, would prevent a user from installing an OS on a server? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Administrator password
• B. Group Policy Object
• C. Root password
• D. SELinux
• E. Bootloader password
• F. BIOS/UEFI password

Correct answer: E, F

Explanation

The correct answers are E and F because a Bootloader password prevents unauthorized OS installations by requiring a password to access the bootloader and initiate the installation. Similarly, a BIOS/UEFI password restricts access to the firmware settings, where OS installation options can be modified. The other options, while they offer security, do not specifically prevent OS installation at the firmware or bootloader level.
