You are the network administrator for your company. The network contains 20 Windows Server 2003 database servers.
The written security policy for your company requires that the following services must be disabled on all database server computers:
Computer Browser
File Replication
Indexing Service
Remote Registry
Server
Task Scheduler
The written security policy also requires that the database servers must be prohibited from having access to the Internet. You use a Windows XP Professional client computer named Admin1 that has access to the Internet. You need to perform a weekly analysis of the hotfix level of the database servers compared with the latest available updates.
You need to minimize the amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?
A.
Schedule the mbsacli.exe command to run weekly on Admin1. Configure the mbsacli.exe parameters to use a file that contains the names of all database servers.
B.
Each week, initiate a Remote Desktop connection to each database server. Run the wmic.exe qfe command on each database server.
C.
Each week, initiate a Remote Desktop connection to each database server. Run the hotfix.exe command on each database server.
D.
Each week, copy the Mssecure.cab file from the Microsoft Web site to Admin1 and initiate a Remote Desktop connection to each database server. Run the mbsacli.exe command on each database server. Configure the mbsacli.exe parameters to reference Admin1 as a data source for the hotfix information.
Explanation:
The command-line program for running MBSA is mbsacli.exe. MBSA scans for security vulnerabilities in the operating system and other Microsoft components. MBSA gives administrators a report after a scan has been completed. This report explains what security issues were discovered and how to correct them.
/c domainname\computername performs a scan on the selected The mbsacli.exe parameter
computer.
The mbsacli.exe parameter -i ipaddress specifies the IP address of the computer to be scanned. If not specified, the default is the local computer.Reference:
