Identity with Windows Server 2016 — Question 138

Your network contains an Active Directory domain. All client computers run Windows 10.
A client computer named Computer1 was in storage for five months and was unused during that time.
You attempt to sign in to the domain from Computer1 and receive an error message.
You need to ensure that you can sign in to the domain from Computer1.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Unjoin Computer1 from the domain, and then join the computer to the domain.
• B. From Active Directory Administrative Center, reset the computer account of Computer1.
• C. From Active Directory Administrative Center, disable Computer1, and then enable the computer account of Computer1.
• D. From Active Directory Users and Computers, run the Delegation of Control Wizard.
• E. From Windows PowerShell on Computer1, run the Restore-Computer cmdlet
• F. From a command prompt, run the Systemreset.exe command
• G. From Windows PowerShell on Computer1, run the Set-ADComputer cmdlet

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as unjoining and rejoining the domain will refresh the computer's secure channel with Active Directory. The other options either do not address the issue of the computer being inactive for a long time or involve actions that won't resolve the sign-in problem effectively.
