Posted by Ty on Mar 22, 2023 at 02:51 PM

You work as the Senior Project manager in Dotcoiss Inc. Your company has started a software project using configuration management and has completed 70% of it. You need to ensure that the network infrastructure devices and networking standards used in this project are installed in accordance with the requirements of its detailed project design documentation. Which of the following procedures will you employ to accomplish the task?

Suggested Answer: B

Physical Configuration Audit (PCA) is one of the practices used in Software Configuration Management for Software Configuration Auditing. The purpose of the software PCA is to ensure that the design and reference documentation is consistent with the as-built software product. PCA checks and matches the really implemented layout with the documented layout.

Answer option D is incorrect. Functional Configuration Audit or FCA is one of the practices used in Software Configuration Management for Software Configuration Auditing. FCA occurs either at delivery or at the moment of effecting the change. A Functional Configuration Audit ensures that functional and performance attributes of a configuration item are achieved.

Answer option C is incorrect. Configuration control is a procedure of the Configuration management. Configuration control is a set of processes and approval stages required to change a configuration item's attributes and to re-baseline them. It supports the change of the functional and physical attributes of software at various points in time, and performs systematic control of changes to the identified attributes.

Answer option A is incorrect. Configuration identification is the process of identifying the attributes that define every aspect of a configuration item. A configuration item is a product (hardware and/or software) that has an end-user purpose. These attributes are recorded in configuration documentation and baselined. Baselining an attribute forces formal configuration change control processes to be effected in the event that these attributes are changed.

I think a Functional configuration audit is key here.

I practiced a similar question where functional configuration audit was the answer, but I'm not confident if it fits this scenario.

I feel like configuration control is important too, but it seems more about managing changes rather than verifying installation.

I think the physical configuration audit might be the right choice since it involves checking if the actual setup matches the design documentation.

I remember studying the different types of audits, but I'm not entirely sure which one applies here.

Ah, I remember learning about this in my VMware training. The vSphere Distributed Services Engine provides hardware-accelerated data processing to boost infrastructure performance. That's the key function, I believe.

I remember something about broken access control being a common threat, but I'm not entirely sure if that's what this example illustrates.

Alright, time to put my Dynamics 365 skills to the test. I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I'll just need to remember the navigation path to the Return Reason Codes and make sure I get all the fields filled out correctly. Shouldn't be too much of a challenge.
