Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012 — Question 69

Your role of Network Administrator at ABC.com includes the management of the 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. A server named ABC-Win12Admin runs Windows
Server 2012. You use ABC-Win12Admin to administer the Windows Server 2012 servers in the domain. A newly installed domain member server named ABC-
SRV06 runs a Server Core Installation of Windows Server 2012.
You need to configure ABC-SRV06 to enable you to use the Server Manager console on ABCWin12Admin to manage ABC-Win12Admin.
How should you configure ABC-SRV06?

Answer options

• A. You should install the Remote Server Administration Tools on ABC-SRV06.
• B. You should install the Server Manager console on ABC-SRV06.
• C. You should enable Windows Remote Management (WinRM) on ABC-SRV06.
• D. You should use the Enable-NetFirewallRule cmdlet to configure the firewall on ABC-SRV06.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct option is C because enabling Windows Remote Management (WinRM) is essential for remote management capabilities of Server Core installations. Options A and B are incorrect because Remote Server Administration Tools are not needed on a Server Core, and the Server Manager console cannot be installed on it. Option D, while related to firewall settings, does not directly enable the management capability required for the Server Manager console to function.
