220-1102 Question #10: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A technician is unable to join a Windows 10 laptop to a domain Which of the following is the MOST likely reason?

Options

• AThe domain's processor compatibility is not met
• BThe laptop has Windows 10 Home installed
• CThe laptop does not have an onboard Ethernet adapter
• DThe Laptop does not have all current Windows updates installed

Explanation

The most likely reason a technician cannot join a Windows 10 laptop to a domain is that the laptop has Windows 10 Home installed. Windows 10 Home editions lack the "Join a domain" feature required for Active Directory integration.

Common mistakes.

• A. Processor compatibility is not a factor for joining a Windows 10 machine to a domain; modern processors are generally compatible with domain services.
• C. While an Ethernet adapter is commonly used for network connectivity, a laptop can also join a domain via Wi-Fi if network requirements are met, so the lack of an onboard Ethernet adapter is not inherently the most likely reason for failure to join a domain.
• D. While lacking current Windows updates can cause various issues, it is not a direct or the most likely reason for being unable to join a domain, especially compared to the fundamental lack of domain join functionality in specific OS editions.

Concept tested. Windows 10 editions and domain join capability
