Don is an accountant in the Finance department. For the last several months, he has been testing an online accounting program. After speaking with his manager, Don receives permission to download a streamlined version of the software, which requires a local installation. Don downloads the application and tries to install it, but the operating system will not allow him to. Out of frustration, he calls the help desk. The help desk sends a technician to Don's machine while Don is out to lunch. The technician installs the application without issue. Which of the following is the most likely reason Don could not install the application? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Insufficient disk space Insufficient system RAM Insufficient permissions Incorrect service pack level Failed device driver

Insufficient permissions ---------------------------------------------- Most likely, Don cannot install the application because his user account has insufficient permissions. The help desk technician's user account has permissions to install applications, but Don does not. Insufficient space would keep an application from installing if it required more space than is available. But in this case, the help desk personnel was able to install it without issue. Device drivers are only needed for devices connecting to the computer. Service packs generally contain security-related hotfixes and do not affect ability to install legitimate applications.

You manage Windows desktops for your organization. You recently updated all of your workstations to Windows 10. Your organization relies on a particular application, which worked correctly on Windows 7, but now does not run in Windows 10. You have checked the application vendor's website, but they do not provide a Windows 10 update. What are your options for running the application? (Select TWO) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make all users who need to run the application members of the local Administrators group. Run the application in Compatibility Mode. Purchase a new application that runs on Windows 10. Create a virtual computer that runs Windows 7. Run the virtual computer each time the application runs. Run the application in its own memory space.

Run the application in Compatibility Mode. Create a virtual computer that runs Windows 7. Run the virtual computer each time the application runs. --------------------------------------------------------- Use Compatibility Mode in Windows to run older applications as if they were running under a different operating system version. Older applications are often written to require full system access, which is not allowed on newer versions of Windows because of UAC. Compatibility Mode creates a shim, or a layer, that makes the application think it has access to the system that is typically denied in Windows 10. On Windows 10, you can also run a virtual machine of Windows 7 for applications that cannot run using Compatibility Mode or other solutions. Granting users administrative privileges gives them rights to the entire system, not just to the single application. On Windows 7 and later, most applications already run in a separate memory space. Purchasing a new application could be costly. You should explore other options before investing in new software.

You have an application that you would like to run on your Windows workstation every Monday at 3:00 p.m. Which tool would you use to configure the application to run automatically? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Task Manager Task Scheduler msinfo32 msconfig Services

Task Scheduler --------------------------------------- The Task Scheduler is a tool that you can use to automatically start an application or run a script when certain events occur. Triggers identify conditions that start the task. Triggers include day and time, logon, and responses to other system events. Use the Services MMC to view and manage services on your computer. Use the msconfig utility to configure how the Windows operating system will boot. Use msinfo32 to view system information. You can use Task Manager to configure startup applications, but you can't use it to automatically run an application at a specific time.

Which Windows tool lets you perform automatic backups at regular times (such as on specific days at specific times)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Event Manager Disk Management Task Manager Task Scheduler

Task Scheduler ------------------------------------------------------------ Use the Task Scheduler to schedule actions (such as a backup) to occur on a regular basis. You can use the Schedule option in Backup and Restore (Windows 7) in Control Panel to schedule when backups occur. (This approach actually creates a scheduled task.) Use Task Manager to view current operating statistics, such as the running processes and CPU and memory usage. Use Disk Management to manage hard disks, partitions, and volumes on your storage devices.
