Difficulty: MediumWindows Administrative and System Management Tools

A system administrator needs to configure automatic failover and recovery responses for a custom line-of-business background service on a Windows workstation that occasionally stops due to socket timeouts. Which TWO actions can be natively configured on the Recovery tab within the properties dialog of a Windows service in the Services snap-in (services.msc)?

  1. Restart the ServiceAnswer
  2. Run a ProgramAnswer
  3. C
    Create a System Restore point
  4. D
    Upgrade the Windows edition automatically

Answer

The correct options are 'Restart the Service' and 'Run a Program'.
Within the Services management console (services.msc), accessing the Recovery tab of any service provides four specific native dropdown options for handling first, second, and subsequent service failures: 'Take No Action', 'Restart the Service', 'Run a Program', and 'Restart the Computer'. Therefore, configuring 'Restart the Service' and 'Run a Program' are valid native options.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Open the Services console (services.msc) and locate the target background service.
Access to the service configuration properties.
Administrative service properties house operational and recovery settings for Windows services.
2
Open the Properties window for the service and select the Recovery tab.
View configurable failure response dropdown menus for First failure, Second failure, and Subsequent failures.
The Recovery tab defines automated responses when the service process terminates unexpectedly.
3
Identify the available native recovery options in the dropdown menus.
The native options listed are Take No Action, Restart the Service, Run a Program, and Restart the Computer.
These actions allow automated service recovery or executing custom remediation scripts.
