220-1102 Question #524: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A technician wants to update the local security policies on a Windows machine but is unable to launch the expected snap-in. Which of the following is the most likely reason?

Options

• AThe computer is running Windows Home.
• BThe user did not sign the end user license agreement.
• CThe user disabled the User Account Control.
• DAn antivirus application is blocking access.

Explanation

The most likely reason a technician cannot launch the local security policy snap-in is that the computer is running Windows Home, which does not include this feature.

Common mistakes.

• B. Not signing an End User License Agreement (EULA) would prevent the operating system from installing or running correctly in the first place, not specifically block a snap-in after installation.
• C. Disabling User Account Control (UAC) might reduce security prompts but would not remove or block access to a core system snap-in if it exists on the system.
• D. While an antivirus application could potentially interfere with system processes, it is highly unlikely to completely block the launch of a standard Windows administrative snap-in without providing a specific warning or error, especially for a feature that simply doesn't exist in Home editions.
