Configuring Windows Workstations for Proxy Server | CompTIA A+ Core 2 Exam 220-1102

B.

The correct Control Panel utility that a technician should use to configure the Windows workstations to use a new proxy server is "Internet Options - Connections".

The proxy server acts as an intermediary between the local network and the Internet, and it is commonly used to filter and monitor Internet traffic. By configuring the Windows workstations to use the new proxy server, the organization can centrally manage and control the Internet access of its employees.

To configure the proxy settings on a Windows workstation, follow these steps:

1. Open the Control Panel by clicking the Start button and selecting Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, select the "Internet Options" icon.
3. In the "Internet Options" window, select the "Connections" tab.
4. Click on the "LAN settings" button, which is located in the "Local Area Network (LAN) Settings" section.
5. In the "Local Area Network (LAN) Settings" window, select the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" option.
6. Enter the IP address and port number of the proxy server in the "Address" and "Port" fields, respectively.
7. Click on the "OK" button to save the changes and close the windows.

Note that the other options listed in the exam question are also found in the "Internet Options" utility, but they are not related to configuring the proxy settings. "Advanced" contains settings for configuring security, browsing, and accessibility options. "Security" contains settings for configuring the security levels and zones for websites. "Content" contains settings for managing website content filters and parental controls. "Privacy" contains settings for managing website cookies and pop-up blockers.
