CompTIA A+ 220-1102 (V14) Practice Question

The path \\SecureServer.corp.example.com\Confidential is the most appropriate choice as it uses the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) and includes the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for a precise location within a possibly large corporate network. The addition of the domain 'corp.example.com' helps resolve any potential name conflicts and is typically used in environments with multiple domains or when accessing resources across different network segments. \\SecureServer\Confidential might work in smaller networks where the server's short name (NetBIOS name) suffices for name resolution, but in a domain environment, especially during an audit which may involve more stringent security measures, the FQDN is preferred. \\192.168.1.5\Confidential assumes that the IT specialist knows the exact IP address of 'SecureServer', which may vary if not statically set, and isn't as readable or reliable as a server name for documentation and audit purposes. \\corp.example.com\SecureServer\Confidential is incorrectly structured; the domain name should not be placed at the start of the UNC path.
