Pass SK0-005 Exam Guide

Before decommissioning and wiping a file server, it's crucial to verify the asset management documentation. This documentation provides detailed records of the server's lifecycle, including procurement, usage, maintenance, and decommissioning information. Ensuring that asset management documentation is up-to-date and accurate is essential before proceeding with the server's decommissioning to maintain proper inventory control, comply with regulatory and organizational policies, and facilitate any potential audits. While the media destruction method, recycling policy, and document retention policy are important considerations in the decommissioning process, verifying asset management documentation is the first step to ensure the server is correctly identified and accounted for in the organization's asset registry.

A perpetual license is a one-time purchase that allows the software to be used indefinitely without recurring costs. This meets the requirement of a non-renewing, one-time capital expense.

Perpetual (Answer D): This is a one-time purchase and does not require renewal, making it ideal for capital expenditure.

Open-source (Option A): Open-source software is usually free but may not meet specific licensing requirements.

Subscription (Option B): This typically involves recurring payments, which contradicts the non-renewing expense requirement.

Volume (Option C): Volume licenses are used for purchasing multiple licenses at a discount but may still involve subscription-based renewals.

CompTIA Server+ Reference:This topic is covered under SK0-005 Objective 2.1: Explain licensing concepts for software.

P2V (Physical to Virtual) refers to converting a physical server into a virtual machine, which can then be deployed to a remote cloud environment. This is the best method for duplicating a physical server to a virtual environment for disaster recovery.

P2V (Answer B): This is the process of converting a physical server to a virtual machine for migration to the cloud.

V2V (Option A): Refers to virtual-to-virtual migration, which is not applicable in this case.

V2P (Option C): Refers to converting a virtual machine back to physical, which is not needed here.

P2P (Option D): Physical-to-physical migration is not relevant for cloud-based disaster recovery.

CompTIA Server+ Reference:This topic relates to SK0-005 Objective 1.3: Explain virtualization concepts.

The most likely reason for this result is that there is a manual entry in the hosts file that maps the FQDN to an incorrect IP address (104.18.17.32). The hosts file is a text file that contains mappings of hostnames or domain names to IP addresses, which are used by the operating system to resolve names before querying DNS servers on the network or internet. The hosts file can be used to override DNS settings or block access to certain websites by redirecting them to different IP addresses, such as localhost (127.O.O.l) or invalid addresses (O.O.O.O). If there is a manual entry in the hosts file that conflicts with DNS records, it can cause name resolution errors or connectivity issues. References: [CompTIA Server+ Certification Exam Objectives], Domain 4.0: Networking, Objective 4.l: Given a scenario, configure network settings for servers.
