CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
During an incident review on a Windows Server 2022 file server, you discover that a Tier-1 support technician-who is not a local administrator-was able to overwrite the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file and plant a back-door service. The account is a member only of a custom domain group named File-Backup-Ops. A Group Policy object assigns this group the user rights "Back up files and directories" and "Restore files and directories" on every server. No other privileges are delegated. Which change will BEST eliminate this improper privilege escalation while still allowing the group to perform routine backups?
Add an explicit NTFS deny-write permission to C:\Windows\System32 for the File-Backup-Ops group.
Remove the "Restore files and directories" (SeRestorePrivilege) user right from the File-Backup-Ops group.
Remove the "Back up files and directories" (SeBackupPrivilege) user right from the File-Backup-Ops group.
Add the File-Backup-Ops group to the local Backup Operators group instead of using Group Policy.
