You work as an administrator at Contoso.com. The Contoso.com network consists of a single domain
named Contoso.com. All servers on the Contoso.com network have Windows Server 2012 installed.
Contoso.com has its headquarters in London, and several widespread satellite offices. When
Contoso.com releases a new written policy stating that the graphical user interface (GUI) should not
be installed on any servers deployed to Contoso.com’s satellite offices.
It is reported that a server in one of the satellite offices are not compliant with the new written
policy.
You are required to remedy the situation, while using the least amount of user interaction.
Which of the following actions should you take?
A.
You should consider uninstalling the User Interfaces and Infrastructure feature using a PowerShell
cmdlet.
B.
You should consider uninstalling the User Interfaces and Infrastructure feature via TS Manager.
C.
You should consider uninstalling the User Interfaces and Infrastructure feature via Server
Manager.
D.
You should consider uninstalling the User Interfaces and Infrastructure feature using the Dsrm.exe
command from the command prompt.
Explanation:
Although you could utilize a PowerShell cmdlet, it would require you to either log on to the remote
machine to enable PowerShell remoting first (or to use the local PowerShell console). Using Server
Manager, you could just add the server (if it wasn’t already added) and use the “Remove Roles and
Features” applet.
Wait, what? What’s the “It is reported that a server in one of the satellite offices are not compliant with the new written policy.” all about? Shouldn’t you investigate whats the problem first, instead of just remove the GUI? This is stupid
Maybe learn to read the question first? Nothing stupid about the question. It does not conform to their new policy, thus you have to convert that server to Server Core.
Several things do not make sense in this question. First, Powershell remoting is automatically enabled in Windows 2012. Second, can you even access the Server Manager? After all, you might be at an office that doesn’t have a GUI, so Server Manager may not even exist. Third, assuming that we do have Server Manager, does “least amount of interaction” refer to mouse clicks or keyboard typing?
Everything about this question is wrong as there is not enough information to answer the question.
You can say that the first part of the question is completely irrelevant as most of MCSA questions. Then there is no need @Brian to access the windows server manager on the remote host, you just add it to one of the local ones and then it as easy as drinking cold water in summer.
