Exam MD-102 topic 1 question 167 discussion

Going against the grain and selecting "B. Run the Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet" as my answer. According to the MS site, you need to allow WinRM port 5589 only for Workgroup machines that are on the same subnet. The question here states these machines are domain-joined. Ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/support/troubleshooting#are-you-connecting-to-a-workgroup-machine-on-a-different-subnet Also, the Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet performs a series of functions including; starting the WinRM service, creating a listener to accept requests on any IP address, enabling a firewall exception, and restarting the WinRM service after all changes are made. Ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/enable-psremoting?view=powershell-7.4#:~:text=The%20Enable%2DPSRemoting%20cmdlet%20performs,make%20the%20preceding%20changes%20effective. Good luck to all!

Windows Admin Center uses WinRM for remote management, so allowing WinRM through the firewall is a crucial step in enabling this functionality

I think it`s B

B is correct

By default, WinRM is set to Manual, so option C is not enough because the service should be enabled first, which we can do with option B. The Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet performs the following operations: Runs the Set-WSManQuickConfig cmdlet, which performs the following tasks: Starts the WinRM service. Sets the startup type on the WinRM service to Automatic. Creates a listener to accept requests on any IP address. Enables a firewall exception for WS-Management communications. Creates the simple and long name session endpoint configurations if needed. Enables all session configurations. Changes the security descriptor of all session configurations to allow remote access. Restarts the WinRM service to make the preceding changes effective

Chat wilk be B

To manage a remote computer using Windows Admin Center, you need to ensure that Windows Remote Management (WinRM) is enabled and accessible on the remote system. WinRM is the underlying protocol that Windows Admin Center uses to communicate with remote devices. On Computer2, you must: - Enable the Windows Remote Management service (if not already enabled). - Configure the Microsoft Defender Firewall to allow inbound traffic for WinRM (port 5985 for HTTP or port 5986 for HTTPS).

The Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet performs the following operations: Runs the Set-WSManQuickConfig cmdlet, which performs the following tasks: Starts the WinRM service. <--- Sets the startup type on the WinRM service to Automatic. <--- Creates a listener to accept requests on any IP address.

To manage Computer2 from Computer1 using Windows Admin Center, you need to enable remote management on Computer2. This is achieved by allowing Windows Remote Management (WinRM) through the firewall. WinRM is the protocol used by Windows Admin Center to communicate with remote computers.

this is confusing, to manage remote computer using admin center it needs to be installed in Server.

The first step is to enable WinRM service which can be done via Enable-PsRemoting. Enabling WinRM through firewall is not enough.

Chatgpt: To manage Computer2 from Computer1 using Windows Admin Center, you need to ensure that Windows Remote Management (WinRM) is enabled and allowed through the firewall on Computer2. This is necessary for Windows Admin Center to connect and manage the remote machine. Therefore, the correct steps to take on Computer2 are: **B. Run the Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet.** This cmdlet configures the computer to receive PowerShell remote commands that are sent using the WS-Management technology. **C. Allow Windows Remote Management (WinRM) through the Microsoft Defender firewall.** This step ensures that the necessary firewall ports are open to allow WinRM communication. You should perform both actions to fully configure Computer2 for remote management via Windows Admin Center.

Enable-PSRemoting enables WinRM services and rule in firewall.

To manage Computer2 from Computer1 using Windows Admin Center, you need to ensure that the necessary prerequisites are met. The correct answer is: C. Allow Windows Remote Management (WinRM) through the Microsoft Defender firewall. Explanation: Windows Admin Center relies on WinRM (Windows Remote Management) for communication with remote computers. By default, WinRM is not enabled on Windows 10 computers, and the firewall may block WinRM traffic. Therefore, you need to allow WinRM through the firewall on Computer2 to enable remote management via Windows Admin Center from Computer1.

PSRRemote will open a firewall port and run WinRM. If you do just any other the others it won't connect and enable powershell scripts to be pushed to the machine.

Option B does all required setting

While C and D are also correct, there just a single setting. I'll go for B based on the command sets multiple settings: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/support/known-issues#:~:text=Windows%2010%20doesn%27t,enable%20PSRemoting. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/enable-psremoting?view=powershell-7.4 But the real question is..... Which is the official answer @ the exam?! =D
