Question #: 24
Topic #: 4
[All SY0-701 Questions]

An important patch for a critical application has just been released, and a systems administrator is identifying all of the systems requiring the patch. Which of the following must be maintained in order to ensure that all systems requiring the patch are updated?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

To ensure that all systems requiring the patch are updated, the systems administrator must maintain an accurate asset inventory. This inventory lists all hardware and software assets within the organization, allowing the administrator to identify which systems are affected by the patch and ensuring that none are missed during the update process.

Network enumeration is used to discover devices on a network but doesn't track software that requires patching.

Data certification and procurement process are unrelated to tracking systems for patching purposes.

Asset inventory is the way to go. It's like keeping track of all your online shopping orders - you gotta know what you've got before you can patch it up.

Asset inventory is more specific to tracking systems, so I think that's the right choice.

Procurement process? Seriously? I'm pretty sure the vendor already released the patch, so we don't need to go through a whole purchasing ordeal. Let's just get this done already!

Data certification? What is this, a college thesis? We're patching systems, not writing a dissertation.

Network enumeration? Really? I thought we were supposed to be securing the systems, not mapping out the whole network. Gotta keep that info under wraps, you know?
