20+ practice questions focused on Remote Access Technologies — 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 Remote Access Technologies PracticeA small business owner wants to allow a remote employee to access their office desktop from home, but is concerned about security. They currently have a standard router with a public IP. Which of the following is the most secure method to enable this access?
Explanation: Exposing RDP directly to the internet is risky due to brute-force attacks. A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel, authenticating the user before allowing access to the internal network, making it far more secure. This is the recommended best practice.
A technician is setting up remote access for a salesperson who frequently works from coffee shops. The company uses a VPN with two-factor authentication (2FA). The salesperson reports that after entering their username and password, they receive a prompt for a code but do not have their token. What should the technician do to resolve this?
Explanation: This scenario tests knowledge of 2FA troubleshooting. The user has a token but does not have it available. The correct action is to provide a temporary bypass code, which is a standard feature of 2FA systems for such situations. Disabling 2FA would weaken security, and other options are not appropriate.
A company is implementing a remote access solution for employees using personal smartphones. They need to ensure that corporate email and documents are accessible but that no corporate data remains on the device if it is lost or wiped. Which technology should they use?
Explanation: Mobile Device Management (MDM) with a containerized work profile creates a separate, encrypted sandbox on the smartphone that stores corporate email and documents. This container can be remotely wiped by the administrator without affecting the user's personal data, ensuring no corporate data remains on a lost or wiped device.
A user is traveling and needs to access a file on their office computer. They have a dynamic IP address at the hotel. Which remote access technology should the technician recommend for a secure connection?
Explanation: Option B is correct because a VPN client creates an encrypted tunnel between the user's laptop and the office network, allowing secure access to files regardless of the user's dynamic IP address. VPNs authenticate the user and encrypt all traffic, protecting data over untrusted networks like hotel Wi-Fi.
During a remote troubleshooting session, a technician uses a tool that allows them to view the user's screen and control the mouse and keyboard. The user reports that the session is extremely laggy, with noticeable delay between the technician's actions and the screen update. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this lag?
Explanation: The lag described is a classic symptom of network latency or insufficient bandwidth, which directly impacts the responsiveness of remote desktop protocols like RDP or VNC. These protocols transmit screen updates and input events in real time; high latency delays the round-trip of packets, while low bandwidth can cause frame drops or compression artifacts, resulting in the noticeable delay between the technician's actions and the screen update.
