Security Fundamentals — Question 33

You are trying to establish communications between a client computer and a server. The server is not responding.
You confirm that both the client and the server have network connectivity.
Which should you check next?

Answer options

• A. Microsoft Update
• B. Data Execution Prevention
• C. Windows Firewall
• D. Active Directory Domains and Trusts

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as issues with Active Directory can prevent the server from recognizing or authenticating client requests. The other options, such as Microsoft Update, Data Execution Prevention, and Windows Firewall, are less likely to directly impact the communication between a client and a server in this scenario.
