The technician should provide the user with a unique ticket number that can be referenced on subsequent calls to make sure the ticket is associated with the correct user. This is because registering the ticket with a unique user identifier, having the user provide a callback phone number to be added to the ticket, or assigning the ticket to the department’s power user will not ensure that the ticket is associated with the correct user2.

Hash verification is a process that verifies the integrity of a file by comparing the hash value of the downloaded file to the hash value provided by the source1

A biometric lock requires an authorized user to provide a unique biometric identifier, such as a fingerprint, in order to gain access to the server room. A badge reader requires an authorized user to swipe an access card in order to gain access. Both of these methods ensure that only authorized personnel are able to access the server room. Additionally, video surveillance and access control vestibules can be used to further secure the server room. Finally, a locking rack can be used to physically secure the servers, so that they cannot be accessed without the appropriate key.

The technician should configure the network as private to allow the user to access files on a drive shared from another desktop on the network1

 BitLocker is only available on Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions1. Therefore, the technician is unable to find the BitLocker Drive Encryption menu item in Control Panel because it is not included in the Windows 10 Home edition1.

A rootkit (Option A) is a type of malware designed to gain administrative (root) access to a system while hiding its presence. Rootkits can manipulate system processes and files to remain undetected, making them particularly dangerous.

Trojan (Option B) is malware disguised as legitimate software but doesn't necessarily provide administrative access.

Worm (Option C) spreads across networks but doesn't grant administrative access.

Ransomware (Option D) encrypts data and demands a ransom but doesn't typically provide ongoing administrative access.
