Google ChromeOS Administrator Exam - Topic 5 Question 14 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's ChromeOS Administrator exam

Question #: 14
Topic #: 5

You are setting up ChromeOS devices in a public library and need to prevent your ChromeOS devices from sleeping when not in use. How would you set up your policy to achieve this?

AIn 'Power management settings' apply 'Do not allow device to sleep/shut down when idle on the sign-in screen '

BIn 'User & Browser Settings' for Power and shutdown set the policy to 'Do not allow wake locks '

CIn 'Power management settings' set the policy to 'Only allow users to turn off the device using the physical power button '

DIn 'Managed Guest Session settings' set the maximum user session length to 'unlimited '

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

This setting is specifically designed to prevent Chrome OS devices from sleeping or shutting down when they are not actively being used, but are on the sign-in screen. This is ideal for public environments like libraries where the devices are meant to be accessible at all times.

Other options are incorrect because:

B: This setting controls wake locks, which are used to keep a device awake under certain conditions. It doesn't directly control sleep behavior on the sign-in screen.

C: This setting controls how users can turn off the device, but doesn't prevent the device from sleeping on its own.

D: This setting controls the maximum length of a guest session, but doesn't affect the device's sleep behavior on the sign-in screen.

I think B might be better for preventing sleep.

I’m a bit confused; I thought the guest session settings might be relevant, but I don’t see how that would prevent the devices from sleeping.

I think option A sounds right because it specifically mentions preventing sleep when idle, which is what we want for the library.

I remember practicing a question about preventing sleep mode, and I feel like it was related to user settings, but I can't recall the exact details.

I think we need to look at the power management settings, but I'm not sure if it's the sign-in screen option or something else.

I'm leaning towards option A as well. Disabling sleep/shutdown when idle on the sign-in screen seems like the most straightforward way to keep the devices active and ready for use.

Option C seems a bit too restrictive, only allowing users to turn off the device using the physical power button. That might not be the most user-friendly solution for a public library setting.

I think option A looks like the right approach to prevent the ChromeOS devices from sleeping when not in use. Applying the 'Do not allow device to sleep/shut down when idle on the sign-in screen' policy should do the trick.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions preventing the devices from sleeping, but option B talks about 'wake locks' which I'm not familiar with. I'll have to read up on that before deciding.

This is a good opportunity to demonstrate my understanding of codec negotiation and call capacity management. I've got a strategy in mind, but I'll double-check my work to be sure.

Hmm, I wonder if we could just duct tape the power buttons down. That would definitely keep the devices from sleeping! Safety first, folks.

Ooh, C is interesting. Only allowing the power button to turn off the device? That's like the ultimate power move. I bet the librarians would love that.

B sounds like it would work, but I'm not sure if 'wake locks' is the right term. Shouldn't it be something more like 'don't allow the device to go to sleep'?

D is just weird. Why would you set the max session length to unlimited? That's just asking for trouble, isn't it?

Option A seems like the obvious choice here. I mean, if you want to prevent the devices from sleeping, you gotta go straight to the power management settings, right?
