Given this scenario, which of the following statements BEST represents the issue with the output above?
Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D.D.
The error message "The computer has not reported status in 30 days" in the WSUS management console means that the server has not contacted the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server in the last 30 days. This can indicate that the server has not received the latest patches, updates, or security fixes.
Option A, "The computer in question has not pulled the latest ACL policies for the firewall," is unlikely to be the issue because the error message specifically mentions WSUS and does not indicate any problems with the firewall.
Option B, "The computer in question has not pulled the latest GPO policies from the management server," is also unlikely to be the issue because GPO policies are not related to WSUS updates.
Option C, "The computer in question has not pulled the latest antivirus definitions from the antivirus program," is also possible, but the error message specifically mentions WSUS and does not indicate any problems with the antivirus program.
Option D, "The computer in question has not pulled the latest application software updates," is the most likely issue based on the information provided. If the server has not contacted the WSUS server in 30 days, it may not have received the latest software updates, including operating system updates, application updates, and security fixes.
Therefore, the best answer is D, "The computer in question has not pulled the latest application software updates."
