Exam 220-1102 topic 1 question 144 discussion

The correct answer is D. msinfo32.exe. This is because msinfo32.exe is a utility that can be used to monitor the system's performance and resource usage, including I/O usage. This can be used to identify any excessive I/O activities that may be causing the slow performance. The other options are not relevant to this situation, as resmon.exe is for monitoring system resource usage, msconfig.exe is for configuring startup programs and services, and dfrgui.exe is for managing disk defragmentation.

To diagnose high disk I/O and understand which processes or activities are causing it, the technician should perform the following: A. resmon.exe Resource Monitor (resmon.exe) provides detailed real-time data about the system's resource usage, including CPU, memory, disk, and network activity. It will allow the technician to identify which processes are generating high disk I/O, helping to diagnose the cause of the slow performance.

The key into this question is the technician is "suspecting" so, he has a theory and he needs to prove it. So the best way to do it is through RASMON

If a technician suspects high disk I/O, the technician should use the Resource Monitor (resmon.exe) to identify the process that is causing the high disk I/O1. Resource Monitor provides detailed information about the system’s resource usage, including disk I/O1. The technician can use this information to identify the process that is causing the high disk I/O and take appropriate action1.

The technician suspect vs the technician found . If I’m the technician and I Suspect, I’ll go to check resources monitor first , if I found , I’ll go to defragmentation.

Answer could be C (dfrgui.exe) because this defragments the drive to allow disk reader find the data stored on this disk which could decrease read time that might translate to I/O. Other than that, resource monitor will keep you informed. You can check I/O subsystems under msinfo32.exe (system information), however this only tells you statuses & does not measure performance.

Resmon.exe (Resource Monitor) is a tool in Windows that provides real-time information about system resource usage, including disk I/O. By running resmon.exe, the technician can monitor disk activity and determine if high disk I/O is indeed the cause of the slow performance.

1. resmon.exe > Disk 2. click on the Disk activity and expand 3. Go to I/O tab and you will see all applications running

Defrag because I suspect resmon.exe and others have possibly already been run ? The wording is doing its best to de clarify the scenario .

The question is definitely a confusing one, D. msinfo32.exe (System Information) does show I/O disk but not how much usage just what is using it and if it is Ok or not. A.resmon.exe (resource monitor) shows where the disk is being, and what is using it and gives a Graph so I believe its A.

According to BING AI. Msinfo32.exe can be used to read system information for local and remote computers12, but it cannot be used to monitor I/O directly. You can use other tools such as Task Manager, Resource Monitor, or Performance Monitor to monitor I/O for processes.

Resmon.exe (Resource Monitor) is a Windows system utility that provides real-time performance data on CPU, memory, disk, and network usage. It is an effective tool for diagnosing issues related to high disk I/O, as it provides detailed information on the processes and services that are causing the high I/O.

resmon for resourse monitor application

At first he should use the resmon to verify, if the Disk is really the reason. If yes: the defragmentation would be the second step.
