A company has Windows 8.1 client computers.
You are designing a remote management solution. IIS is installed on some remote
computers and configured to use port 80 and port 443. You have the following
requirements:
Ensure that you can perform most of the same tasks through the remote management
solution that you can while working directly on the remote computer.
Ensure that the solution can operate on port 80 and on port 443.
You need to choose the remote management tool to meet the requirements.
Which remote management tool should you choose?
A.
Windows Remote Shell (WinRS)
B.
Remote Desktop Connection (RDC)
C.
Network Shell (netsh)
D.
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
By default PowerShell will use the following ports for communication (They are the same ports as WinRM)
TCP 5985 = HTTP
TCP 5986 = HTTPS
But, you can set PowerShell remoting to use 80 (HTTP and 443 (HTTPS) by running the following commands
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Service\EnableCompatibilityHttpListener -Value true (uses port 80)
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Service\EnableCompatibilityHttpsListener -Value true (uses port 443)
why is winrs preferable rdc in this case ?
