A server administrator is writing a PowerShell script to process a list of server names stored in the variable $servers. Which construct will iterate over each element in the collection exactly once?

do { Write-Host $servers[0] } while ($servers.Count -gt 0)

foreach ($server in $servers) { Write-Host $server }

while ($servers) { Write-Host $servers[0] }

for ($i = 0; $i -lt $servers.Length; $i++) { Write-Host $servers[$i] }

Which common server administration task is most suitable for automation with a script?

Performing nightly backups of critical data

Diagnosing a complex network issue that requires human judgment

Approving a new employee's access request

Manually rebooting a server after a hardware failure

In PowerShell, which cmdlet is used to create a new empty file?

New-File -Path C:\Temp\file.txt

New-Item -Path C:\Temp\file.txt -ItemType File

Set-Content -Path C:\Temp\file.txt -Value ''

Create-File -Path C:\Temp\file.txt

A server administrator is writing a PowerShell script to monitor CPU and memory usage. The script needs to store the threshold values (e.g., 80% CPU, 70% memory) so they can be easily adjusted without editing the entire script. What is the best way to store these values?

Hard-code the threshold values directly in each comparison statement within the script.

Assign each threshold to a separate variable at the top of the script, such as '$cpuThreshold = 80' and '$memThreshold = 70'.

Store the thresholds in a single variable as a string, such as '$thresholds = '80,70'', and parse it when needed.

Use environment variables to store the thresholds, so they are available to all scripts on the server.
