Question

Marlon is facing an issue on his Windows 10 laptop while working from home, so he contacts Jerusha from the IT helpdesk to resolve the issue. After evaluating the issue, Jerusha realizes that she needs to use the Registry Editor to edit the registry on Marlon's computer to resolve the issue. Which of the following is true of the Remote Registry service on Marlon's computer in this scenario?

A.Jerusha needs to configure the firewall specifically to allow the Remote Registry service to access port 80.
B.Jerusha does not need the Remote Registry service to edit the registry on Marlon's computer using Registry Editor.
C.The Remote Registry service on Marlon's computer is started when Jerusha connects to his computer.
D.The Remote Registry service is enabled by default whenever Marlon restarts his computer.

Answer 1

Jerusha does not require the Remote Registry service to be enabled for editing the registry using Registry Editor, as this can be done locally or through a remote desktop session. The service is not enabled by default and does not use port 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer for your question about managing the Remote Registry service in a Windows 10 environment is B. Jerusha does not need the Remote Registry service to edit the registry on Marlon's computer using Registry Editor. The Registry Editor is a tool that can be used locally or through a remote desktop connection to make changes to the system registry. The Remote Registry service only needs to be running if the changes are to be made remotely without an established remote desktop session, such as through a network registry access or a management console.

Furthermore, the Remote Registry service is not enabled by default on Windows 10 for security reasons. Allowing unrestricted remote access to the registry could pose significant security risks. If it's necessary, IT administrators can start the service manually or configure it to start automatically. Also, the service does not use port 80; instead, it uses the RPC protocol that dynamically assigns ports, and the exact ports would need to be properly configured in the firewall.
