Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012 — Question 41

You work as a Network Administrator at ABC.com. The network contains a single Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named ABC.com. The network includes servers that run Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2012. All servers in the network have Windows Remote
Management (WinRM) enabled. You use a Windows 7 Enterprise client computer named ABC-Admin1. You are currently logged in to ABC-Admin1. From your client computer, you want to obtain the IP address of a Windows Server 2012 member server named ABC-File1.
Which command or commands should you use?

Answer options

• A. Telnet ABC-File1 ipconfig.
• B. NSLookup > Server ABC-File1 > ipconfig
• C. WinRM -r:ABC-File1 ipconfig
• D. WinRS -r:ABC-File1 ipconfig

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct command is D, as WinRS (Windows Remote Shell) allows you to run commands on remote Windows systems, which is what you need to obtain the IP address. Option A is incorrect because Telnet does not provide the IP configuration. Option B is not suitable as NSLookup is used for DNS queries, not for retrieving IP configuration. Option C is also incorrect because while WinRM is enabled, it does not directly execute commands like WinRS does.
