You install and configure a server named Serv1 to function as a file server. You move user files from the old server to Serv1 and create a logon script that maps drive letters to shared folders on Serv1. After these changes, users report that they cannot access Serv1 through the drive mappings you created.

They also report that Serv1 does not appear in My Network Places. All appropriate NTFS and share permissions are applied on the user files. When you run the ipconfig command on Serv1 you see an output as shown in the image. What should you do to configure the TCP/IP properties on Serv1 to resolve this problem?
  1. Add abc.com to the DNS suffix for this connection field.
  2. Configure the default gateway.
  3. Configure the DNS server address.
  4. Configure a static IP address.
Explanation
Answer - D - To fix this problem, you should configure a static IP address on Serv1.

Key Takeaway: The IP address shown in the image is an APIPA (automatic private IP addressing) address. This means that the server is configured to use DHCP for its IP configuration but is unable to contact a DHCP server. Hence when there is no DHCP server available to issue IP addresses, then a static IP address in the same range as the rest of the network should be assigned to resolve the problem.
