Several users report to the administrator that they are having issues downloading files from the file
server. Which of the following assessment tools can be used to determine if there is an issue with the file
server?

A.
MAC filter list

B.
Recovery agent

C.
Baselines

D.
Access list

Explanation:
The standard configuration on a server is known as the baseline. In this question, we can see if anything
has changed on the file server by comparing its current configuration with the baseline.
The IT baseline protection approach is a methodology to identify and implement computer security
measures in an organization. The aim is the achievement of an adequate and appropriate level of security
for IT systems. This is known as a baseline.
A baseline report compares the current status of network systems in terms of security updates,
performance or other metrics to a predefined set of standards (the baseline).
Incorrect Answers:
A: A MAC filter list is a list of allowed or disallowed MAC addresses on a device that uses MAC filtering, for
example, a network switch or a wireless access point. It is not used to determine if there is an issue with a
file server.
B: A recovery agent is a ‘master’ account that can recover access to files or other encrypted data in the
event of a lost or corrupted digital certificate. In the example of EFS (Encrypted File System), the recoveryagent can unencrypt encrypted files if the user’s certificate that was used to encrypt the files is
unavailable. A recovery agent is not used to determine if there is an issue with a file server.
D: An access list is a list of authorized users or computers allowed to access a resource. It is not used to
determine if there is an issue with a file server.
