A. B. C. D.CA.
During the test of a disaster recovery plan, the administrator should ensure that the plan works properly, which is option A.
The purpose of a disaster recovery plan is to enable an organization to continue operating or to quickly resume normal operations after a disaster. However, the plan's effectiveness is only as good as the extent to which it can be executed in a timely and effective manner. Testing the plan helps to ensure that it works properly, and the administrator should ensure that all aspects of the plan are tested, including the hardware, software, and personnel involved in executing the plan.
Option B, ensuring that all servers in the organization are shut down, is not necessary during the testing of the disaster recovery plan. Doing so would prevent the test from being an accurate simulation of an actual disaster, where servers would likely remain operational.
Option C, ensuring that each member of the disaster recovery team is aware of their responsibility, is important, but it is not the only thing that the administrator should ensure during the testing of the plan. While it is important for each team member to be aware of their responsibilities, it is equally important that the plan works as intended, which is the main objective of the testing process.
Option D, ensuring that all client computers in the organization are shut down, is also unnecessary during the testing of the disaster recovery plan. The focus of the testing process should be on the recovery of critical systems, not the shutdown of non-critical systems.
In summary, during the testing of a disaster recovery plan, the administrator should ensure that the plan works properly and that all aspects of the plan are tested, including the hardware, software, and personnel involved in executing the plan. The administrator does not need to shut down all servers or client computers in the organization, but it is important to ensure that each member of the disaster recovery team is aware of their responsibility.
