70-698 Question #133: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B: No. Turning on File and Printer Sharing in Advanced Sharing Settings enables SMB-based file sharing rules but does not enable ICMP echo request (ping) rules in Windows Firewall, so ping remains blocked.

Question

You are the administrator for a company. All devices run Windows 10 Enterprise and are joined to an Active Directory Domain Services domain. Administrators are unable to test network connectivity to Windows 10 devices because ping is being blocked. You need to be able to ping the devices. Solution: Turn on File and Printer Sharing in the Advanced Sharing settings. Does the solution meet the goal?

Options

  • AYes
  • BNo

Explanation
