A systems administrator is trying to run a program on the server to query the database. When attempting to launch the program, the screen flashes and the program closes. Which of the following…

Running the program as an administrator can resolve issues where the application requires elevated privileges to access system resources, write to protected directories, or perform certain operations, which could cause it to crash if not met.

HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Prevention System) software can block legitimate applications from running if they trigger suspicious behavior, leading to a flash and crash. Checking HIPS logs will reveal if the application is being actively prevented from executing by security software.

Logging on as a "backup administrator" is vague and unlikely to resolve the issue directly; if the problem is privilege-related, any administrator account should suffice, but specifically identifying the need for elevation is more precise.

Logging on as the "database administrator" provides specific database privileges but does not necessarily grant the required system-level permissions for the application itself to run correctly, nor does it address potential HIPS blocking.

Stopping the database and restarting the server is a drastic measure that would impact other services and is not a primary troubleshooting step for a single application failing to launch, especially when the issue could be permission- or security-related.
