Which of the following services checks whether the sender’s IP address is associated with the sender’s domain name when receiving email?  DKIM  MX  SPF  DMARC ExplanationThe correct answer is C. SPF.SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework, which is a protocol that allows domain owners to specify which IP addresses are authorized to send email on behalf of their domains1. SPF helps prevent email spoofing and phishing by verifying the sender’s identity and preventing unauthorized use of their domain name12.When an email is received, the receiving server checks the SPF record of the sender’s domain, which is a DNS TXT record that lists the valid IP addresses for that domain12. The server then compares the sender’s IP address with the SPF record and determines if it matches or not. If it matches, the email passes the SPF check and is accepted; if it does not match, the email fails the SPF check and is rejected or marked as spam12.DKIM stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, which is a protocol that allows domain owners to digitally sign their emails using a public-private key pair3. DKIM helps ensure the integrity and authenticity of email messages by verifying that they have not been tampered with or forged during transit3 .MX stands for Mail Exchange, which is a type of DNS record that specifies the mail servers that are responsible for receiving email for a domain. MX records help direct incoming email to the correct destination and prioritize them based on preference values .DMARC stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance, which is a protocol that builds on SPF and DKIM and allows domain owners to define how receivers should handle unauthenticated or suspicious emails from their domains. DMARC helps protect domains from email fraud and abuse by providing feedback and reports on email delivery and authentication status .Therefore, SPF is the only service among the options that checks whether the sender’s IP address is associated with the sender’s domain name when receiving email.Q315. An organization is looking to upgrade the processing ability for its computers. Most users report that whenever multiple applications are being utilized, the system’s response time slows down drastically. When only one application is open, the response time is acceptable. Which of the following should be upgraded FIRST?  SSD  CPU  HDD  RAM ExplanationThe component that should be upgraded first is the RAM. When multiple applications are being utilized, the system’s response time slows down drastically. This is because the computer is running out of memory. Upgrading the RAM will allow the computer to store more data in memory, which will improve performance when multiple applications are being used123.Q316.

A help desk technician thinks a desktop PC has failed due to a defective power supply Which of the following steps should the technician take next?  Inquire about environmental or infrastructure changes.  Conduct external or internal research based on symptoms.  Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and implement the solution.  Document the findings, actions, and outcomes. ExplanationAccording to the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology, the next step after establishing a theory of probable cause is to test the theory to determine the cause. However, before testing the theory, the technician may need to conduct some research based on the symptoms and the possible cause. This may involve consulting online resources, manuals, documentation, or colleagues to find out more information about the power supply and how to test it. Research can help the technician confirm or eliminate the theory and avoid unnecessary actions or damage.Answer A is incorrect because inquiring about environmental or infrastructure changes is part of identifying the problem, which is the first step of the troubleshooting methodology. The technician should have already done this before establishing a theory of probable cause.Answer C is incorrect because establishing a plan of action to resolve the problem and implement the solution is the fourth step of the troubleshooting methodology. The technician should not jump to this step without testing the theory and verifying the cause.Answer D is incorrect because documenting the findings, actions, and outcomes is the last step of the troubleshooting methodology. The technician should not do this until the problem is resolved and verified.Reference: Troubleshooting Methodology | IT Support and Help Desk | CompTIAQ319. A technician was called in to look at a user’s PC. The user reported the PC was very sluggish. The HDD light on the PC was constantly on without blinking.
