Topic #: 2
[All 220-1102 Questions]

A user is attempting to access a shared drive from a company-issued laptop while working from home. The user is unable to access any files and notices a red X next to each shared drive. Which of the following needs to be configured in order to restore the user's access to the shared drives?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

When a user is unable to access shared drives from a company-issued laptop while working from home, the likely requirement is:

VPN (Virtual Private Network): A VPN allows secure access to the company's network from a remote location. Without a VPN connection, the user cannot access network resources such as shared drives.

IPv6: Involves IP addressing and is not directly related to accessing shared drives.

IPS (Intrusion Prevention System): Provides network security but does not facilitate access to shared drives.

DNS: Manages domain name resolution and is not typically the issue when specific shared drives are inaccessible.


CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Exam Objectives, Section 2.7: Explain common methods for securing mobile and embedded devices.

VPN configuration and remote access documentation.

I'm feeling confident about B) VPN. It's the go-to answer when you can't access something from outside the office. Unless, of course, the problem is that the VPN is down, and then we're all in trouble.

Hmm, I'm going with B) VPN. It's the classic solution for remote access to company resources. Plus, I hear the IT guy has a sweet VPN setup with a dancing unicorn logo.

D) DNS seems like the right choice to me. If the DNS settings are not properly configured, the user won't be able to resolve the shared drive addresses.

I think the answer is B) VPN. The user is working from home, so a VPN connection would be needed to access the shared drives on the company network.
