Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in
the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
Your network contains a single Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
The domain contains two computers named Computer1 and Computer2.
A user named User1 is a member of the local Administrators group on Computer1 and Computer2.
User1 fails to remotely manage the devices on Computer2 by using Device Manager on Computer1.
User1 can connect to Computer2 remotely by using Computer Management.
You need to ensure that User1 can disable a device on Computer2 remotely.
Solution: You enable Remote Desktop on Computer2, and you instruct User1 to use Remote Desktop.
Does this meet the goal?
A.
Yes
B.
No
Would say Yes
agree
but they said use Computer Managment!
nvm my mistake
Yes for me, because the user can disable Driver but only in locally logon.
This problem occurs because Remote access to the Plug and Play (PNP) RPC interface has been removed in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.

Alex, that is a VERY convincing argument; but that article states specifically that is an error between connecting to a Windows 8 machine from a Windows 7 Machine. Did that error follow over to affect Windows 10 to Windows 10 connections? THIS article specifically states that it is IMPOSSIBLE to correct this, you must log in to the local to use that DEV manager–which I know is BS as I do this every day. Our Tier 3 has a tool that we can enter the remote Win10 PC name and open their Dev Manager from our machines using our machine’s resources (no actual interruption to service to the user who oft doesn’t even know I’m looking at his or her machine to investigate a failed update, or other noted anomaly. I guess I’m going to have to ask my server admins about this question tomorrow since I can’t find definitive info on it within the confines of the internet.
Please update when you do ask.
I’ve been exploring the option to access Device Manager through the Compmgmt console remotely for 40 minutes now and no amount of tweaking enabled me to do so. All the questions (PnP, Remote Registry, etc) would imply that either one of those, all of those or none of those are the solution.
Up until now, individually they fail, together they fail and that leaves us only with “none of those”, except RDP.
Any update would be appreciated.
so what is the conclusion ? for me is that because
User1 fails to remotely manage the devices on Computer2 by using Device Manager , User1 decides to user remote desktop.
so .. you need to ensure that user1 can disable a device REMOTELY .
Remote Desktop is a REMOTE solution 🙂
so the answer for me is YES
