CompTIA Exam 220-1102 Topic 2 Question 48 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's 220-1102 exam

Question #: 48
Topic #: 2

A technician needs to implement password requirements that apply to all domain-joined computers. Which of the following commands should the technician most likely run?

Agpugdate

Bdevmgmt

Cregedit

Dresmon

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Detailed

The correct command is gpupdate (Option A), which refreshes Group Policy settings. To implement password requirements across domain-joined computers, the policy would be set via Group Policy, and then running the gpupdate command ensures that the new settings are applied to all systems.

devmgmt (Option B) opens Device Manager, which is unrelated to Group Policy.

regedit (Option C) opens the Windows Registry Editor, which is not used for group-wide password policy settings.

resmon (Option D) opens Resource Monitor, which helps monitor system resources, not Group Policy.

CompTIA A+ Core 2 Reference:

1.5 - Using appropriate Windows settings, including password policies via Group Policy.

D) resmon? Seriously? That's for monitoring system resources, not managing password policies. I vote for A) gpupdate.

Wait, C) regedit? What is this, the dark ages? No, the technician should use gpupdate to push out the new password requirements.

Sure, running regedit allows you to edit the registry, where you can set password requirements for all domain-joined computers.

This is a no-brainer. The technician needs to run the gpupdate command to update the Group Policy settings. Easy peasy!

Haha, B) devmgmt? Really? As if the Device Manager is going to help with password policies. I'm going with A) gpupdate for sure.

Hmm, I think the answer is A) gpupdate. That's the command to update Group Policy, which would be the best way to implement password requirements across all domain-joined computers.
