A systems administrator needs to configure a Windows 11 workstation so that a critical line-of-business background service automatically attempts to restart if it unexpectedly stops, and a backup script executes automatically every night at 2:00 AM. Which of the following Windows administrative utilities should the administrator use to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
- Services console (services.msc) to configure the Recovery tab settings for the application serviceAnswer
- Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc) to create a scheduled task with a time-based triggerAnswer
- CPerformance Monitor (perfmon.msc) to set up automated process recovery actions
- DSystem Configuration (msconfig) to program recurring maintenance tasks and service restarts
Answer
The administrator should use the Services console (services.msc) to configure service recovery options and Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc) to schedule the nightly script.
Automatic restarting of a failed service is configured via the Recovery tab in the Services snap-in (services.msc). Automated, recurring execution of scripts at specified times (such as daily at 2:00 AM) is created and managed using Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc).
