220-1202 Practice Test 10 — 10 Questions

Question 1

After deploying a new application to 50 workstations, several users report that the application crashes on launch. You need to quickly check if the application's core DLL files are present and correctly registered on a remote computer. Which command should you use?

Accepted Answer

regsvr32 /s C:\App\core.dll. The correct answer is `regsvr32` which is used to register or unregister DLL files. This command verifies that the necessary DLLs are properly registered, which is essential for application functionality. Incorrect answers involve network configuration, file system repair, or process listing.

Answer

ipconfig /flushdns

Answer

chkdsk C:

Answer

tasklist /S remotePC

Question 2

A technician needs to map a network drive to a shared folder on a file server for a user who frequently works remotely. The share path is \Server\Data. Which command would you use to persistently map this drive as drive letter Z:?

Accepted Answer

net use Z: \Server\Data /persistent:yes. The correct answer is `net use Z: \Server\Data /persistent:yes`. This command maps the network drive and makes it persistent so it reconnects at logon. Other commands deal with user accounts, disk repair, or network configuration.

Answer

net user Z: \Server\Data /add

Answer

chkdsk Z: /f

Answer

ipconfig /renew

Question 3

A customer calls the help desk stating that their computer displays 'Bootmgr is missing' and will not start Windows. You suspect the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) is corrupted. Which command-line tool should you use from the Windows Recovery Environment to repair the BCD?

Accepted Answer

bootrec /rebuildbcd. The correct answer is `bootrec /rebuildbcd`, which scans for Windows installations and rebuilds the BCD store. This is a standard repair for boot manager issues. Other commands are for disk checking, system file repair, or partition management.

Answer

chkdsk /r

Answer

sfc /scannow

Answer

diskpart

Question 4

A technician is troubleshooting a user's inability to access a specific website. The user can access other websites without issue. The technician wants to check the route packets take to the problematic server and identify where the connection fails. Which command should be used?

Accepted Answer

tracert example.com. The correct answer is `tracert`, which traces the route to a destination and shows each hop. This helps pinpoint where packets are being dropped. `ping` only tests reachability, `nslookup` resolves names, and `netstat` shows connections.

Answer

ping -t example.com

Answer

nslookup example.com

Answer

netstat -an

Question 5

During a security audit, you discover that a user's workstation has an unauthorized application running. You need to terminate the process immediately from the command line. The process name is 'malware.exe'. Which command should you use?

Accepted Answer

taskkill /IM malware.exe /F. The correct answer is `taskkill /IM malware.exe /F`. This forcefully terminates the process by image name. `tasklist` only lists processes, `net stop` stops services (not processes), and `shutdown` restarts the computer.

Answer

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq malware.exe"

Answer

net stop malware

Answer

shutdown /r /t 0

Question 6

A user reports that their computer's hard drive is making clicking noises and they cannot access certain files. You want to check the disk for errors and attempt to repair any bad sectors. Which command should you run from an elevated command prompt?

Accepted Answer

chkdsk /r. The correct answer is `chkdsk /r`, which locates bad sectors and attempts to recover readable data. `/f` only fixes file system errors, while `/scan` and `/spotfix` are used in newer versions for online repair. The `/r` option implies `/f` and does a thorough check.

Answer

chkdsk /f

Answer

sfc /scannow

Answer

diskpart

Question 7

A technician needs to deploy a software update to 100 computers in a domain. The update requires administrative privileges. The technician wants to run the installer silently without user interaction. Which command-line syntax should be used?

Accepted Answer

msiexec /i update.msi /quiet /norestart. The correct answer is `msiexec /i update.msi /quiet /norestart`. This installs the MSI silently without prompting the user. `/passive` shows a progress bar, `/qb` shows a basic UI, and `/l*` creates a log file but does not suppress UI.

Answer

msiexec /i update.msi /passive

Answer

msiexec /i update.msi /qb

Answer

msiexec /i update.msi /l* log.txt

Question 8

A user reports that their Windows 10 computer is infected with ransomware that has encrypted their files. The technician boots into the Windows Recovery Environment and wants to restore the system to a previous restore point. Which command should be used?

Accepted Answer

rstrui.exe. The correct answer is `rstrui.exe`, which launches the System Restore wizard. This can revert system files and settings to a previous state. `vssadmin` manages shadow copies but does not directly restore, `wbadmin` is for backup and restore, and `bootrec` repairs boot issues.

Answer

vssadmin list shadows

Answer

wbadmin start recovery

Answer

bootrec /fixboot

Question 9

A technician needs to configure a Windows 10 computer to use a static IP address of 192.168.1.100 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.1.1. Which command-line tool and syntax should be used?

Accepted Answer

netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 1. The correct answer is `netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 1`. This sets a static IP with the specified parameters. `ipconfig` is used for display, `netstat` for connections, and `ping` for testing.

Answer

ipconfig /setaddress 192.168.1.100

Answer

netstat -r

Answer

ping 192.168.1.1

Question 10

A user reports that their Windows 10 PC is running slowly and they suspect a background process is consuming too much memory. You need to identify the process and its memory usage without installing any additional tools. Which command-line tool should you use?

Accepted Answer

tasklist. The tasklist command displays a list of running processes along with memory usage (in kilobytes) directly from the command prompt. It is a built-in Windows tool, so no extra software is needed. Other options either do not show process details or require additional tools.

Answer

ipconfig

Answer

chkdsk

Answer

sfc /scannow
