21-17
C. Correct: Public key encryption can greatly enhance security, especially for
mobile users. Although user certificates can be stored on the computer’s hard disk
and can be password-protected, storing certificates on a smart card is more secure
because it requires a thief to have access to both the smart card and the user’s
password.
D. Correct: By encrypting the user’s data files, you ensure that if the replacement
laptop computer is stolen and the hard disk is moved to another computer, the
thief cannot view confidential information. S/MIME further enhances security by
allowing the account executive to digitally sign sent e-mail and receive encrypted
e-mail messages.
E. Incorrect: The Recovery Console can be a useful tool for diagnosing and repairing
serious computer failures such as corrupted system files and unsupportable
configuration changes. Configuring the Recovery Console for automatic logging
on significantly decreases security on a system. This is especially true for mobile
users whose laptop computers are at risk of theft. This configuration setting is
appropriate only on computers that are physically secure or contain no sensitive
data and cannot access any other important computers over the network. Use this
setting with caution.
4. Correct Answers: C
A. Incorrect: The Setup Wizard is part of the attended installation process; it does
not include any features for migrating user settings from another computer to the
system where Windows XP Professional is being installed.
B. Incorrect: You use SysPrep to prepare a computer running Windows XP Professional
for imaging so that the disk image can be used to automate the deployment
of similarly configured systems. It does not include any features for migrating user
settings from one computer to another.
C. Correct: The File And Settings Transfer Wizard is a tool to help transfer a user’s
files and settings to a new installation of Windows XP Professional. It can copy
many different types of files and settings for such things as the Desktop and Display,
and for some applications (such as Microsoft Outlook). It is the ideal tool in
this scenario.
D. Incorrect: You use RIS for automating the deployment of computers across the
network. It leverages technologies such as Windows 2000 Server, Active Directory,
GPOs, and Windows XP Professional. It does not include any features for migrating
user settings between computers.
