Topic #: 3
[All DS0-001 Questions]

A DBA left the company, and the DBA's account was removed from the system. Soon after, scheduled jobs began failing.

Which of the following would have most likely prevented this issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The most likely way to prevent this issue is to use service accounts. Service accounts are special accounts that are used by applications or services to perform tasks or run jobs on behalf of users. Service accounts have limited permissions and access rights that are tailored to their specific functions. By using service accounts, the DBA can ensure that scheduled jobs can run independently of individual user accounts, and avoid failures due to account removal or changes. The other options are either not related or not effective for this issue. For example, load balancing is a technique that distributes the workload across multiple servers or resources to improve performance and availability; business continuity plan is a plan that outlines how an organization will continue its operations in the event of a disaster or disruption; assigning a data steward is a process that designates a person who is responsible for ensuring the quality and governance of data.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 3.0 Database Management and Maintenance, Objective 3.3 Given a scenario, migrate data between databases.

Load balancing doesn't seem relevant here. I think the focus should be on service accounts, but I'm not 100% confident.

I feel like this question is similar to one we practiced about user permissions. If jobs are failing after an account removal, it might be related to how those jobs were set up.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think a business continuity plan might help in situations like this. It seems like it could cover account management when someone leaves.

I remember studying about service accounts and how they should be used for scheduled jobs. If the DBA's account was tied to those jobs, that could explain the failures.

Ugh, these IT infrastructure questions can be tricky. I'm not totally sure about the right answer here. I guess I'd lean towards the service accounts option, but I'm not 100% certain. Might have to do a quick review of best practices for managing scheduled jobs before I lock in my answer.

Ah, I see what they're getting at. The key is to have a dedicated service account that the scheduled jobs can run under, rather than relying on an individual user's account. That way, if that user leaves, the jobs can still execute properly. I'm feeling pretty confident about this one.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'm not sure if load balancing or a business continuity plan would really be the best solution here. Maybe the service accounts option is the way to go, but I'll have to think it through a bit more.

This seems like a straightforward question about preventing issues with scheduled jobs after a DBA leaves. I think the answer is probably service accounts, since that would ensure the jobs can still run even if an individual user account is removed.
