CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 90

An administrator is only able to log on to a server with a local account. The server has been successfully joined to the domain and can ping other servers by IP address.

Which of the following locally defined settings is MOST likely misconfigured?

Answer options

• A. DHCP
• B. WINS
• C. DNS
• D. TCP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The most probable misconfigured setting is DNS because the server can reach other servers by IP but not by name, indicating it cannot resolve domain names. DHCP, WINS, and TCP are less likely to be the issue since the server is communicating with others via IP and has been joined to the domain.
