You have two servers named Server1 and Server2 thatrun Windows Server 2012. 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 fromServer1 by using Server Manager on Server1.
What should you do?
A.
On Server 2, run the Configure-SmRemotingcmdlet.
B.
On Server 1, run the Set-NetFirewallRulecmdlet.
C.
On Server 1, run the Set-Item cmdlet.
D.
On Server 2, install the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT).
The answer is C, silly question because it doesn’t tell you what you’re setting with set-item, but if you read through the link below you’ll see why.

Now I’m thinking the answer is A. Can anyone verify?
Your first post is correct with Answer C.
I read the link you posted, this is what it says:
Set-Item wsman:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts Server01 -Concatenate -Force
Add and manage servers in workgroups
——————————————————————————–
Although adding servers that are in workgroups to Server Manager might be successful, after they are added, the Manageability column of the Servers tile—on a role or group page that includes a workgroup server—can display Credentials not valid errors that occur while trying to connect to or collect data from the remote, workgroup server.
These or similar errors can occur in the following conditions.
• The managed server is in the same workgroup as the computer that is running Server Manager.
• The managed server is in a different workgroup from the computer that is running Server Manager.
• One of the computers is in a workgroup, while the other is in a domain.
• The computer that is running Server Manager is in a workgroup, and remote, managed servers are on a different subnet.
• Both computers are in domains, but there is no trust relationship between the two domains.
• Both computers are in domains, but there is only a one-way trust relationship between the two domains.
• The server you want to manage has been added by using its IP address.
To add remote workgroup servers to Server Manager
——————————————————————————–
1.On the computer that is running Server Manager, add the workgroup server name to the TrustedHosts list. This is a requirement of NTLM authentication. To add a computer name to an existing list of trusted hosts, add the Concatenate parameter to the command. For example, to add the Server01 computer to an existing list of trusted hosts, use the following command.
Copy
Set-Item wsman:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts Server01 -Concatenate -Force
2.Determine whether the workgroup server that you want to manage is in the same subnet as the computer on which you are running Server Manager.
If the two computers are in the same subnet, or if the workgroup server’s network profile is set to Private in the Network and Sharing Center, go on to the next step.
If they are not in the same subnet, or if the workgroup server’s network profile is not set to Private, on the workgroup server, change the inbound Windows Remote Management (HTTP-In) setting in Windows Firewall to explicitly allow connections from remote computers by adding the computer names on the Computers tab of the setting’s Properties dialog box.

Can anyone confirm this? I also think the answer is A
See Guru’s explanation and link above.
I’d choose C.
I’m curious to find out what blog system you have been working with?
I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest site and I’d like to find something more safeguarded.
Do you have any suggestions?
I couldn’t resist commenting. Very well written!
Server manager seems as it uses NLTM authentication (old auth method of Microsoft, 95,98, NT4.0…) when the remote computer is not in the same domain. If then, ‘Credentials not valid’ means, either the credential used (‘Manage by’ when you right-lick the workgroup computer and use the credential to login remotely) is incorrect OR if the trust relationship is not specified, the authentication can fail.
So, from the options to choose, I think C seems the only authentication related answer.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on exam 70-410 (update
october 8th. Regards
I’d Choose C.
