Difficulty: MediumWindows Administrative and System Management Tools

A desktop technician is configuring a standalone Windows 11 Pro workstation. The technician needs to enforce password complexity requirements for local user accounts and view a real-time list of all currently logged-in user sessions. Which TWO Windows utilities or management tools should the technician use to accomplish these tasks? (Select TWO.)

  1. Local Security Policy (secpol.msc)Answer
  2. Task Manager (taskmgr.exe)Answer
  3. C
    Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc)
  4. D
    System Configuration (msconfig.exe)

Answer

Local Security Policy (secpol.msc) and Task Manager (taskmgr.exe)
Local Security Policy (secpol.msc) is the built-in MMC snap-in used on Windows Pro/Enterprise editions to manage local account security policies, including password complexity, age, and lockout thresholds. Task Manager (taskmgr.exe) features a Users tab that provides real-time information on all currently connected user accounts and their resource consumption.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the administrative tool required for configuring account password rules.
Local Security Policy (secpol.msc) contains the Account Policies section where Password Policy settings (such as minimum length and complexity) are defined.
Security policies for local accounts are managed through secpol.msc on Windows Pro and Enterprise editions.
2
Identify the utility required to inspect active user sessions in real time.
Task Manager (taskmgr.exe) under the Users tab lists all active and disconnected user sessions.
Task Manager provides interactive user session management, enabling technicians to view connected accounts and disconnect or sign off sessions if needed.
