Question 31

Question

What happens if an endpoint’s agent cannot connect to the update server?

Accepted Answer

It continues using the last known content database

Sofia B. · Answer

Probably A, the agent keeps using its last known content database if it can't reach the update server. That's basically straight from the official prep guide and seen in practice labs. Not 100% but seems solid for exam logic-anyone see it differently?

Liam D. · Answer

A . The agent just keeps using its last known definitions if it can't reach the update server.

Noah W. · Answer

A or B? I see why some might pick B but I think A is right since the agent is built to keep protecting with the last database when updates can’t be pulled. Disabling prevention (B) seems a bit drastic, probably just a distractor.

Nathan R. · Answer

B

Grace J. · Answer

B vs A here. I went with B since disabling prevention sounds like what would happen if it can't update, but now I see A makes more sense because the agent keeps using existing config. Maybe B is a trick option?
