GIAC Security Essentials Certification (GSEC) — Question 53

Which of the following is a new Windows Server 2008 feature for the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)?

Answer options

• A. The ability to allow the administrator to choose a port other than the default RDP port (TCP 3389)
• B. The ability to support connections from mobile devices like smart phones
• C. The ability to allow clients to authenticate over TLS
• D. The ability to allow clients to execute individual applications rather than using a terminal desktop

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as Windows Server 2008 introduced the ability for clients to launch individual applications rather than accessing a full terminal desktop. Options A, B, and C, although relevant to RDP, do not represent new features introduced in this version of Windows Server.
