What should you recommend?

Your network contains two servers that run the Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 R2. The two servers are part of a Network Load Balancing cluster.
The cluster hosts a Web site. Administrators use client computers that run Windows 7.
You need to recommend a strategy that allows the administrators to remotely manage the Network Load Balancing cluster. Your strategy must support automation.

What should you recommend?

A.
On the servers, enable Windows Remote Management (WinRM).

B.
On the servers, add the administrators to the Remote Desktop Users group.

C.
On the Windows 7 client computers, enable Windows Remote Management (WinRM).

D.
On the Windows 7 client computers, add the administrators to the Remote Desktop Users group.

USAGE
=====
(ALL UPPER-CASE = value that must be supplied by user.)

winrs [-/SWITCH[:VALUE]] COMMAND

COMMAND – Any string that can be executed as a command in the cmd.exe shell.

SWITCHES
========
(All switches accept both short form or long form. For example both -r and
-remote are valid.)

-r[emote]:ENDPOINT – The target endpoint using a NetBIOS name or the standard connect
ion URL: [TRANSPORT://]TARGET[:PORT]. If not specified
-r:localhost is used.

-un[encrypted] – Specify that the messages to the remote shell will not be encryp
ted. This is useful for troubleshooting, or when the network traffic is already encrypted
using ipsec, or when physical security is enforced. By default the messages are encrypted
using Kerberos or NTLM keys. This switch is ignored when HTTPS transport is selected.

-u[sername]:USERNAME – Specify username on command line. If not specified the tool will
use Negotiate authentication or prompt for the name.
If -username is specified, -password must be as well.

-p[assword]:PASSWORD – Specify password on command line. If -password is not specified
but -username is the tool will prompt for the password. If -password is specified, -user m
ust be specified as well.

-t[imeout]:SECONDS – This option is deprecated.

-d[irectory]:PATH – Specifies starting directory for remote shell. If not specified
the remote shell will start in the user’s home directory defined by the environment variab
le %USERPROFILE%.

-env[ironment]:STRING=VALUE – Specifies a single environment variable to be set when she
ll starts, which allows changing default environment for shell. Multiple occurrences of th
is switch must be used to specify multiple environment variables.

-noe[cho] – Specifies that echo should be disabled. This may be necessary to
ensure that user’s answers to remote prompts are not displayed locally. By default echo i
s “on”.

-nop[rofile] – Specifies that the user’s profile should not be loaded. By defau
lt the server will attempt to load the user profile. If the remote user is not a local adm
inistrator on the target system then this option will be required (the default will result
in error).

-a[llow]d[elegate] – Specifies that the user’s credentials can be used to access a re
mote share, for example, found on a different machine than the target endpoint.

-comp[ression] – Turn on compression. Older installations on remote machines may
not support compression so it is off by default.

-[use]ssl – Use an SSL connection when using a remote endpoint. Specifying
this instead of the transport “https:” will use the default WinRM default port.

-? – Help

To terminate the remote command the user can type Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break, which will be sent
to the remote shell. The second Ctrl-C will force termination of winrs.exe.

To manage active remote shells or WinRS configuration, use the WinRM tool. The URI alias
to manage active shells is shell/cmd. The URI alias for WinRS configuration is winrm/conf
ig/winrs. Example usage can be found in the WinRM tool by typing “WinRM -?”.

Examples:
winrs -r:https://myserver.com command
winrs -r:myserver.com -usessl command
winrs -r:myserver command
