A technician can sign in to a local administrator account after another employee unlocks a Mac's FileVault-protected startup disk. After a shutdown, however, the technician's account is absent from the disk-unlock screen. Normal macOS sign-in confirms that the technician's password works. Which account setting should support investigate?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B - The account's authorization to unlock the FileVault-protected startup disk.
Question 2
Safari cannot open an internal HTTPS site on one Mac, although the same URL loads on a nearby Mac.

Which comparison would best isolate the demonstrated failure?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A - Compare the configured resolver and permitted DNS path with those on the working Mac.
Question 3
A field worker's iPad is nearly full. A rarely used app occupies much more space than its documents, which include unsynchronized work that must be retained. The app remains available for reinstallation. What frees the app's installation space without removing those local documents?

Correct answer: D - Grant screen-recording access to the app.
Question 6
A storage check shows:
APFS container free space: 70 GB
Projects volume used: 54 GB

A technician needs to copy 18 GB of new files into Projects. Assume the copy consumes exactly 18 GB and no other storage use changes. Which capacity assessment is correct?

Which approach fits these requirements when the service supports Apple's enrollment methods?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A - Use User Enrollment for the employee's iPhone.

Question 9
While travelling, a user overwrites a spreadsheet. The external Time Machine disk is at the office, but Time Machine displays a local snapshot from before the overwrite and previews the required version. The current spreadsheet has been saved separately. Other documents have been edited since that snapshot and must retain their newer versions. Which recovery plan meets these constraints?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C - Restore the spreadsheet from the available local snapshot using Time Machine.
Question 10
