Complete SK0-005 CompTIA Materials

After an update, if a core service fails to start, potential causes include dependencies, authentication, or incomplete updates:

The server requires another reboot to complete the rollback (A): Some updates require multiple reboots, but if rolling back did not resolve the issue, a missing dependency is more likely.

The administrator is not authorized to run the service (B): If the administrator previously had access and the update broke the service, it is likely due to software conflicts rather than permissions.

The server requires further updates of other software components (C): Many services rely on dependent libraries, drivers, or patches. If an update replaces or removes a necessary component, the service may fail until additional updates are applied.

The account used to run the service has expired (D): Expired accounts usually cause authentication failures but not outright service crashes unless explicitly required for the update process.

Since rolling back the update did not fix the issue, the most likely reason is that additional updates or dependencies are missing.

Deduplication is a process that eliminates redundant data blocks and reduces the amount of storage space needed. Disk quotas are policies that limit the amount of disk space that each user or group can use on a volume.

When a server that previously received updates from a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server suddenly fails to do so, one common cause is that the local software firewall is blocking the necessary ports or services required for WSUS communication. Firewalls can be reconfigured, either intentionally or accidentally, leading to such connectivity issues.

SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol that would most likely be implemented to encrypt data in transit for remote administration. SSH provides secure communication between two devices over an unsecured network by using public-key cryptography and symmetric encryption. SSH can be used to remotely execute commands, transfer files, or tunnel other protocols. Telnet, TFTP, and rlogin are protocols that do not encrypt data in transit and are considered insecure for remote administration. References: [CompTIA Server+ Certification Exam Objectives], Domain 2.0: Networking, Objective 2.4: Given a scenario involving network security/access methods, implement an appropriate solution.
