Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012 — Question 67

You have two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 and Server2 are part of a workgroup.
On Server1, you add Server2 to Server Manager.
When you attempt to connect to Server2 from Server Manager, you receive the following error message: "Credentials not valid."
You need to ensure that you can manage Server2 from Server1 using Server Manager on Server1.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. On Server 1, run the Set-NetFirewallRule cmdlet.
• B. On Server 1, run the Set-Item cmdlet.
• C. On Server 2, install the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT).
• D. On Server 2, run the Configure-SmRemoting cmdlet.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as running the Configure-SmRemoting cmdlet on Server2 enables it to accept remote management connections from Server1. Option A is incorrect because adjusting the firewall rules alone does not resolve the credential issue. Option B does not relate to remote management setup, and option C is not necessary since RSAT is not the solution for the credentials problem.
