Exam SY0-501 topic 1 question 41 discussion

key word here is " the campus was closed". It would not matter if when he resigned the fact that he did it when the campus was closed, the answer is Time of day Restriction. just my thoughts

In case he deleted the files AFTER his resignation, the best answer would be 'Offboarding', However, if he deleted them while he was still an employer, the best answer would have been 'Time of Day restriction'. The question is: When did he perform those actions?

All of you have VALID points, but here is why it is off boarding (this combines both sides of the story PLUS some extra thinking): The department head resigned on the first day of spring semester (after break).. IF you knew you were going to not be working for spring, you should've been off boarded before the break started & for sure by the spring semester. That would eliminate the need of time of day restrictions for a person that shouldn't be working there in the first place... You see?

Offboarding refers to the processes involved such as exit interview, account disablement, and surrendering of identification. The proper procedures would have gone like this: Professor quits, an exit interview Is conducted, and while the interview is taking place, his account and access to resources disabled. This is why you read the book!! Don't just rely on remembering the answers if you have no idea what or why the answer is what it is!

C. according to the article below offboarding would be the right answer. Doesn't matter when the administrator is resigning the system will automatically remove all the previlages that the administrator had. https://cybersecurity.att.com/blogs/security-essentials/best-data-security-practices-when-offboarding-employees

time of day restriction is the best and correct answer here

Time of day... He did this when the campus was closed before the Spring. He resigned on the first day. That means this occurred before he resigned. Thus, access should not of been granted when the campus was closed.

C is the answer, it says first day of the spring semester and the files were deleted when the college was closed, means before it opened for the spring semester so it should be Time of day restriction.

C trumps A IMO: Dulaney 501: "Offboarding Offboarding is a bit simpler. When someone leaves the company, for any reason, that user’s accounts must all be immediately suspended."

I think it should be permission and auditing reviews Firstly, there is no separate time of day restriction during holidays. And secondly, offboarding on the first day of spring? But he already deleted files during holidays.

Could be part of question is missing...could be choose two?? If not, you have to admit it says "It was subsequently determined that the department head deleted numerous files and directories from the server-based home directory while the campus was closed." CLOSED...Campus closes at 6pm...WHILE CAMPUS WAS CLOSED.... what TIME of DAY is it closed?

Honestly he could have quit on a Friday and the campus is closed on Sunday, say, so he did his sabotage on Sunday afternoon. If you accept the sequence in the question as written then C works. If he was offboarded as soon as he tendered his resignation then he would not have been able to do the deletions.

We have no idea what the school policies are for access during closure so we cant really say it is anything other than offboarding. However the question is worded poorly as its unclear as to which closure is referred to or when the actual end date of his employment were.

I think this is one of those questions where multiple answers can be correct. So both A and C could be correct. The question says he deleted the files while the campus was closed. Let's say spring semester starts on January 22. The campus is closed before spring which is like our winter break in college. So that means he deleted the files BEFORE spring semester started. Campuses aren't closed after the first day of spring lol. He deleted the files BEFORE campuses opened back up for spring. I'd say time of restrictions but as others have said, it's a confusing question and offboarding could be correct as well but I'd go with time of day considering that it also takes into account the winter break during which the professor wasn't suppose to be logging on.

If he has deleted the files, then resigned. What could have prevented this? Offboarding? - No he was still a member of staff when the files were deleted. Time of day restriction? - Seeing as he delted the files when the campus was closed, this has to be it. I see that other sources are saying offboarding too. But this answer i don't understand.

Offboarding because they would have disabled/deleted his account and conducted an exit interview as well where the IT department would have taken away his account while HR was conducting the interview. Since it is not mentioned when the break was it's still really confusing.

To me it should be A - time of day restrictions as the university was first closed before the semester got launched and that is when he deleted the files
