CompTIA 220-1101 : Practice Test Which of the following involves installing an application on a server so several users can run the application concurrently without the need for local installation?
A. Client virtualization
B. Software as a service
C. Sandboxing
D. Embedded software
Explanation: Client virtualization involves installing an application on a server and enabling multiple users to run the application simultaneously via virtualized sessions. This eliminates the need for individual installations on local machines.
✑ Why Not B (Software as a Service): SaaS delivers software over the internet and
does not require local installations but is managed by a third party, not the organization itself.
✑ Why Not C (Sandboxing): Sandboxing is for isolating applications for security
testing, not for concurrent user access.
✑ Why Not D (Embedded software): Embedded software is installed on hardware devices, not shared across multiple users.
CompTIA A+ Exam Reference: Core 1 (220-1101), Section 4.2, virtualization concepts.
Which of the following scenarios best illustrate a need for VDI? (Select two).
A. An employee needs the ability to work remotely on a non-company-provided computer
B. A company that needs to store 10PB worth of data
C. An employee has latency-sensitive workflow requirements
D. A bank that has security concerns regarding employee activity
E. A payment processor that is planning on implementing virtual currency
F. An application developer who needs to configure network settings for an application
Explanation: VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) allows users to access a desktop environment that is running on a server in the data center rather than on the local machine. This is particularly useful for employees who need to work remotely on various devices (A), as it provides a consistent and secure environment regardless of the endpoint device. For a bank with security concerns regarding employee activity (D), VDI offers a centralized management of desktops, enhancing security by keeping sensitive data and applications within the data center and not on the local devices, thus reducing the risk of data breaches.
A company issued smartphones to users who work from home. The devices are enrolled and configured within the company's MDM, and hardening profiles were deployed to each device for greater security. Which of the following services best enhances security for remote users accessing company resources? (Select two).
A. Two-factor authentication
B. Managed corporate applications
C. Cloud data synchronization
D. Automated device setup
E. GPS location tracking
F. PIN code enforcement
Explanation: Two-factor authentication (2FA) significantly enhances security by requiring two forms of verification before granting access to company resources, making it harder for unauthorized users to gain access even if they have one of the credentials. PIN code enforcement adds an additional layer of security by ensuring that devices are protected by a PIN, making physical access to the device more challenging for unauthorized users.
While the other options provide various benefits, 2FA and PIN code enforcement directly enhance the security of remote users accessing company resources.

A technician needs to recommend an internet connection for a customer who travels around the world and wants to have connectivity while visiting remote camping locations. Some of the locations the customer visits have limited or unreliable cellular service. Which of the following connection types should the technician recommend?
A. Satellite
B. DSL
C. Fiber
D. Hotspot
Explanation: The connection type that the technician should recommend is Satellite.
Satellite internet is a good option for people who travel around the world and want to have
connectivity while visiting remote camping locations. It works by using terminals which can
give you internet access in remote locations as long as they have a line of sight to the
satellite in orbit above12.
Since the customer travels to remote camping locations with limited or unreliable cellular
service, the best recommendation is satellite internet connection. Satellite internet uses a
dish to connect to satellites orbiting the earth, which can provide coverage anywhere in the
world as long as there is a clear line of sight to the satellite. This is especially useful in
remote areas where traditional terrestrial connections are not available.

connection type and bandwidth.
A user submitted a ticket to report an issue with a new printer that is no longer accepting new print jobs. The technician verifies the printer is on and notices the printer LCD screen has the following error message: Paper Jam, Jam in fuser. Which of the following is the MOST efficient next step the technician should complete?
A. Apply a maintenance kit to the printer
B. Check the printer paper path to locate any obstructions
C. Turn the printer on and off to see if the error clears
D. Replace the fuser.
Explanation: The MOST efficient next step the technician should complete is to check the printer paper path to locate any obstructions1. The error message “Paper Jam, Jam in fuser” indicates that there is a paper jam in the fuser2. The fuser is one of the parts of a laser printer most likely to fail without giving any explicit message2. The printer LCD screen indicates a paper jam in the fuser. The most efficient next step the technician should complete is to check the printer paper path to locate any obstructions. Applying a maintenance kit or replacing the fuser may not be necessary if the issue is caused by a paper jam.
