CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question

A systems administrator is tasked with ensuring a custom legacy application, which is not a native Windows service, starts automatically on a standalone Windows Server. The application must launch immediately after the operating system boots, with elevated privileges, and before any user logs in. Which of the following provides the most direct and appropriate solution?

  • Configure a Scheduled Task to run the application's executable, using 'At system startup' as the trigger and specifying 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' as the user account.

  • Use the Local Group Policy Editor to assign a user logon script that executes the application.

  • Create a new service for the executable using services.msc and set its startup type to 'Automatic'.

  • Place a PowerShell script to launch the application into the All Users Startup folder (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp).
