Question 9

Data Collector Sets organize multiple counters into a single unit. Which type of data can a Data Collector Set monitor to track when system events occur.
A)Configuration
B)Performance counters
C)Event Trace
D)Bottleneck trace

Accepted Answer

Data Collector Sets can monitor Event Traces to track when system events occur. Event Traces capture a detailed log of system events, including informational, warning, and error messages. Configuration and bottleneck tracing are not types of data that can be monitored by Data Collector Sets, while performance counters can be monitored, but they do not specifically track system events.

Question 10

Data Execution Prevention (DEP)is a processor feature in Windows 10 that monitors processes to ensure that they do not access unauthorized memory spaces.

Accepted Answer

DEP is indeed a processor feature in Windows 10 that helps prevent execution of code from data pages which helps prevent attacks that exploit buffer overflow vulnerabilities. DEP monitors processes to ensure that they do not access unauthorized memory spaces.

Question 11

Instead of logging performance counters to disk, you can configure which of the following to occur?
A)messages
B)alerts
C)tasks
D)archives

Accepted Answer

Rather than logging performance counters to disk, it is better to configure alerts to notify when certain thresholds are met. This allows for more proactive monitoring and can help avoid potential issues before they occur.

Question 12

Which processor feature monitors processes to ensure that they do not access unauthorized memory spaces, which is done by various types of malware, such as viruses, to take control of systems?
A)DEP
B)XPS
C)WEI
D)LOGO

Accepted Answer

DEP (Data Execution Prevention) is a processor feature that monitors programs and services to ensure they do not run or execute code from unauthorized memory spaces. This helps prevent malware from taking control of a system by exploiting vulnerabilities in programs or services. XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a document format used for printing and sharing documents, WEI (Windows Experience Index) is a benchmark tool used to rate system performance, and LOGO is not a relevant processor feature.

Question 13

When you establish a baseline, it is important to ensure that you are measuring the normal state of the performance indicators.

Accepted Answer

Establishing a baseline involves measuring the normal or typical state of performance indicators, so that any changes or deviations can be identified and addressed. It is important to make sure that the baseline accurately reflects the normal state in order to make meaningful comparisons and improvements.

Question 14

Which utility can be used to provide an overview of the current state of a computer?
A)Performance Monitor
B)Data Manager
C)Task Manager
D)Data Collector Set

Accepted Answer

Task Manager is a utility that provides an overview of the current state of a computer, including the running processes, CPU and memory usage, and network activity. Performance Monitor and Data Collector Set are also utilities that can provide information about system performance, but they are typically used for more specialized monitoring and analysis tasks. Data Manager is not a standard utility included with Windows and is not typically used for system monitoring.

Question 15

What Windows 10 feature captures a screenshot each time the user clicks on a screen item and saves the screenshots and users actions in a report that can be emailed or saved to a shared storage location?
A)Steps Monitor
B)Event Viewer
C)File Recovery
D)Steps Recorder

Accepted Answer

The feature described is Steps Recorder, which captures a screenshot each time the user clicks on a screen item and saves the screenshots and users actions in a report that can be emailed or saved to a shared storage location. Event Viewer is a tool for viewing system events and logs, while File Recovery is a feature for recovering deleted files.

Question 16

What utility allows you to visually display the data generated by counters, and allows you to select the individual counters you want to view?
