Question

A technician needs administrator access on a Windows workstation to facilitate system changes without elevating permissions. Which of the following would best accomplish this task?

Options

• AGroup Policy Editor
• BLocal Users and Groups

• DSystem Configuration

Explanation

To grant a technician administrator access on a Windows workstation without universally elevating their permissions, the Local Users and Groups snap-in is the best tool.

Common mistakes.

• A. Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) manages system configurations and security settings, but it's not the direct tool for adding a user to a local administrator group.
• C. Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) is used to manage hardware devices and drivers, not to assign user permissions or modify group memberships.
• D. System Configuration (msconfig.exe) is used to manage startup options, services, and boot configurations, not to control user accounts or group memberships.
