Difficulty: MediumWindows Administrative and System Management Tools

Match each Windows administrative management snap-in tool to its primary system management function.

  • Services (services.msc)Configuring automatic recovery actions to restart a background application if it unexpectedly crashes
  • Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc)Creating custom XML log filters and configuring event subscriptions to aggregate remote system logs
  • Performance Monitor (perfmon.msc)Configuring Data Collector Sets to log system memory and CPU utilization over a multi-day testing period
  • Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc)Automating the execution of a maintenance batch script whenever a system user logs off

Answer

Services matches configuring automatic service recovery actions; Event Viewer matches creating custom XML log filters and event subscriptions; Performance Monitor matches configuring Data Collector Sets for baseline logging; Task Scheduler matches automating script execution upon user logoff triggers.
Services (services.msc) manages service properties and recovery behaviors. Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) manages diagnostic logs and subscriptions. Performance Monitor (perfmon.msc) logs performance counters long-term via Data Collector Sets. Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc) executes automated scripts based on system triggers.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary tool for managing background service failures.
Services (services.msc) contains the Recovery tab for defining failure responses.
Service failure actions are controlled natively within the Service Control Manager.
2
Identify the management tool for system auditing and remote log aggregation.
Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) supports event subscriptions and custom view filtering.
It serves as the standard tool for centralizing Windows event and audit logs.
3
Identify the tool used for tracking system metrics over long intervals.
Performance Monitor (perfmon.msc) creates and manages Data Collector Sets.
Data Collector Sets log performance counters over hours or days for trend analysis.
4
Identify the tool for event-driven script automation.
Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc) triggers actions based on system conditions such as logoff.
It allows administrative tasks to run automatically without direct user interaction.
