CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 81

A technician recently applied a patch to a working server. After rebooting, the technician notices the server is unable to connect to a nearby database server. The technician validates a connection can be made to the database from another host.

Which of the following is the best NEXT step to restore connectivity?

Answer options

• A. Enable HIDS.
• B. Change the service account permissions.
• C. Check the firewall rules.
• D. Roll back the applied patch.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is to roll back the applied patch because the issue occurred after the patch installation, indicating it may have caused the connectivity problem. Enabling HIDS, changing service account permissions, or checking firewall rules may not address the root cause related to the patch.
