Exam SK0-005 topic 1 question 5 discussion

Guys i think it's B and F. explanation below B. faulty CMOS battery: The CMOS battery is a small battery on the motherboard that powers the BIOS settings andkeeps track of the date and time when the server is powered off. If the CMOS battery fails, the server will lose its configuration and display an incorrect date and time when it is powered on. This can cause access issues for users and applications that rely on accurate time stamps. F. The time synchronization service is a service that synchronizes the system clock with a reliable external time source, such as a network time protocol (NTP) server. If the time synchronization service is disabled on the servers, they will not be able to update their clocks automatically and may drift out of sync with each other and with the network. This can also cause access issues for users and applications that require consistent and accurate time across the network.

Answers A and B are surely the answers. Check this website with correct and verified answers: https://quizlet.com/866168501/sk0-005-server-dump-part-1-flash-cards/ (check the 5th question)

A network remediation VLAN would explain the going offline (not -rebooting-) bit, as the server would get kicked to another IP#. And NTP issues in general will cause SSL and TLS to fail.

Chat GPT thinks it is B & E. Asked him about E that it is trick question (only plural in answers). Here it its answer on that topic (I do not agree, I would go with A and B): You are correct that there is a discrepancy between the singular form of the server mentioned in the question and the plural form used in answer option E. It's possible that the discrepancy is intentional, but it could also be a mistake. However, even if the answer option E refers to servers in general, it is still a valid option since lack of NTP configuration on any of the servers could lead to time synchronization issues and access problems for users. In any case, it's always a good practice to carefully read and analyze the question and all answer options before selecting an answer.

Has anyone taken the exam lately to confirm what the actual answer is?

Look at F very closely. "The time synchronization service is disabled on the servers" <-- plural. The issue is only occurring on a single server in the question, so why would "servers" be an answer. I chose A due to going offline, and B as the time is incorrect. Originally thought well E but it also states "servers -- plural". So only A and B really fit in this question.

I concur with A&B

datacenter has been constantly going offline = the power supply no longer functions properly since the power returned. losing its configuration = CMOS has no battery to reserve configuration.

A and B are the very first places to check. This would be especially important because the question mentions a power outage.

A B are correct

A B are correct

Asking for server not servers.. CMOS and PSU would cause the current issue and also wording is misleading. I would go with A and B

A and B are the correct answers

This answer looks incorrect to me. I would select B & F The complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) chip holds basic configuration information for the server. It has a replaceable battery that allows the settings to save while power is disconnected. The battery will eventually fail. When that occurs, settings stored in the basic input/output system (BIOS) on the CMOS may be reset. The date and time may also not display correctly in the BIOS.
