20+ practice questions focused on Documentation and Change Management — one of the most tested topics on the CompTIA A+ Core 2 220-1202 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Documentation and Change Management PracticeA technician is deploying a new application to 20 sales laptops. The change management plan requires a pilot test on 2 laptops before full deployment. After testing, the technician finds the application works but conflicts with the VPN client. What should the technician do?
Explanation: Option B is correct because the change management process requires that any issues discovered during pilot testing be formally documented and addressed before full deployment. Since the application conflicts with the VPN client, the technician must submit a revised change request that includes a resolution plan (e.g., updating the application, modifying VPN configuration, or scheduling a coordinated deployment). This ensures compliance with organizational change control policies and minimizes risk to production systems.
A help desk technician receives a complaint that a shared network printer is no longer accessible after a scheduled firmware update was applied to the print server last night. The change was documented but no rollback plan was included. What should the technician do first?
Explanation: Option B is correct because the scheduled firmware update directly caused the printer to become inaccessible, and without a documented rollback plan, reverting to the previous firmware version is the safest and most immediate way to restore service. This aligns with change management best practices, which prioritize backing out a failed change before troubleshooting further, as the root cause is clearly the firmware update.
A technician is performing a routine software update on a finance department server. The change management documentation specifies that the update must be applied during a maintenance window from 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM. At 3:30 AM, the update fails with an error. The technician has no rollback plan documented. What should the technician do?
Explanation: Option B is correct because the technician has no documented rollback plan, and the change management process requires that any deviation from the approved plan—such as a failed update—must be escalated to the change manager for a decision. Attempting an undocumented rollback or continuing to troubleshoot without authorization risks data corruption, service disruption, or violating compliance policies. The technician’s primary duty is to preserve the server’s current state and follow the escalation path defined in the change management policy.
A technician is configuring a new server and follows a documented standard operating procedure (SOP). After completion, the technician realizes the SOP is outdated and omits a critical security setting. What should the technician do?
Explanation: Option A is correct because the technician discovered a security gap in the SOP that could leave the server vulnerable. The proper action is to immediately apply the missing critical security setting to protect the server, then update the SOP to reflect the correct procedure. This aligns with change management best practices where security findings take precedence over outdated documentation, and the SOP must be corrected to prevent future misconfigurations.
A change advisory board (CAB) approves a network switch replacement, but the technician discovers during implementation that the new switch requires a different firmware version than documented. The change plan does not include a rollback for this scenario. What is the best course of action?
Explanation: When an undocumented deviation occurs during a change, the technician should halt the implementation and contact the CAB for guidance. Proceeding without approval risks network instability, and the CAB can provide a revised plan or approve the firmware change.
