You are working as a senior technician at Certkiller .com. A trainee is attempting to run IPCONFIG
from the ‘Run’ dialog box in Windows 2000/XP. He tells you that there is something wrong as after
typing in IPCONFIG and selecting OK, a black window briefly appears and disappears. What
would you tell the trainee?
A.
IPCONFIG can only be run in Safe Mode.
B.
IPCONFIG is not a valid Windows 2000/XP command.
C.
IPCONFIG has successfully executed and terminated.
D.
IPCONFIG requires a Terminal Services license.
Explanation:
If you start the command directly from the Run dialog box, it will close the window as soon as the
command has executed and terminated. If you want to se the output from a command you should
first start cmd (the command line interpreter) and run the command from there, that way the
window will stay up even after the command has executed and terminated.
