Remote Installation Services (RIS). Windows DS is used to install operating systems to set up new
computers through a network without having to be physically present at each computer and without
having to install directly from a CD or DVD. Windows DS is commonly used to deploy Windows
operating systems in large to medium size business environment computers.B is incorrect. Server Manager is a primary tool available in Windows Server 2008 R2. It

The Server Manager console allows an administrator to perform the following tasks:
Install Windows Server roles and features.
View the Event Viewer logs.
Access performance monitoring tools, Device Manager, Task Scheduler, Windows Firewall with
Advanced Security, Services, Local Users and Groups, Windows Server Backup, and Disk
management.A is incorrect. Windows PowerShell is an extensible command-line tool and associated
scripting language. It provides administrators comprehensive control and automation of system
administration tasks to increase their productivity. It integrates with the Microsoft .NET Framework
and provides an environment to perform administrative tasks by execution of commands. It includes
many system administration utilities, consistent syntax and naming conventions, and improved
navigation of common management data such as the registry, certificate store, or Windows
Management Instrumentation (WMI). Windows PowerShell also includes a scripting language

Management is the most prolific MCC that appears in the Administrative Tools folder in the Control
Panel. Computer Management can also be pointed at another Windows machine altogether,
allowing for monitoring and configuration of other computers on the local network that the user has
access to.
