Members of this group have full control of the server or individual workstations and can assign user rights and access control permissions.
- A.
  
  Domain group accounts
- B.
  
  Domain user accounts
- C.
  
  Local administrators
- D.
  
  Local user
Correct Answer
C. Local administrators

Explanation
Local administrators have full control of the server or individual workstations and can assign user rights and access control permissions. This means that they have the authority to manage and control the resources within their local environment. This is in contrast to domain group accounts and domain user accounts, which are typically used for managing resources across multiple servers or workstations within a domain. Local user accounts, on the other hand, do not have the same level of control and permissions as local administrators.

  Domain groups
- C.
  
  Local user accounts
- D.
  
  Domain user accounts
Correct Answer
B. Domain groups

Explanation
Domain groups reside on a domain controller and provide access to network resources throughout the domain. Domain groups are used to organize users, computers, and other resources within a domain, and they can be assigned permissions and rights to access specific network resources. By adding users to domain groups, administrators can easily manage access control and permissions across the entire domain, making it a crucial component in network administration.

What is installed on a computer to act as the interface between the computer and network?
- A.
  
  A NIC
- B.
  
  Ethernet
- C.
  
  Transceiver
- D.
  
  Coaxial cable
Correct Answer
A. A NIC

Explanation
A NIC (Network Interface Card) is installed on a computer to act as the interface between the computer and the network. It allows the computer to connect to a network, sending and receiving data packets. The NIC converts the data from the computer into a format that can be transmitted over the network, and vice versa. It also handles the communication protocols required for network connectivity. Ethernet and transceiver are components related to network connectivity, but they are not specifically responsible for acting as the interface between the computer and the network. Coaxial cable is a type of cable used for network connections, but it is not the component that acts as the interface.

- A.
  
  MAC address
- B.
  
  IEEE address
- C.
  
  OUI address
- D.
  
  SAS address
Correct Answer
A. MAC address

Explanation
A network interface card (NIC) provides a unique identification number known as a MAC address to a personal computer. MAC stands for Media Access Control, and it is a hardware address assigned to the NIC by the manufacturer. The MAC address is used to identify the NIC on a network and is essential for communication between devices. It consists of six groups of two hexadecimal digits separated by colons or hyphens. The MAC address ensures that each device on a network has a distinct identifier, allowing for efficient and accurate data transmission.
