GIAC Security Essentials Certification (GSEC) — Question 3

Which of the following would be a valid reason to use a Windows workgroup?

Answer options

• A. Lower initial cost
• B. Simplicity of single sign-on
• C. Centralized control
• D. Consistent permissions and rights

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Windows workgroups do not offer centralized management or consistent permissions, making option D the only valid reason. Options A, B, and C do not accurately represent the benefits of a workgroup setup, as they imply features more associated with a domain environment.
