QuestionAnswer
Remote administration is limited to viewing server status and does not include actions such as installing updates, restarting services, or configuring permissions. False. Remote administration includes managing, monitoring, troubleshooting, and maintaining servers remotely. The real answer is that administrators can access servers, install updates, monitor performance, restart services, configure users and permissio
Remote server management provides both business benefits and technical benefits, including reduced downtime, centralized IT operations, real-time monitoring, patch management, and backup management. True.
Remote Management Services allow administrators to control and manage servers through a network connection, but they do not support user and permission management. False. Remote Management Services support managing users and permissions. The real answer is that their core functions include remote login, monitoring performance, executing administrative tasks, managing users and permissions, and updating systems.
RDP, PowerShell Remoting, Windows Admin Center, SSH, and VPN connections are examples of common technologies used in remote management. True.
Remote management requires only administrator credentials; network connectivity, firewall configuration, and remote access permissions are optional and unnecessary. False. Remote management requires network connectivity, administrator credentials, proper firewall configuration, and remote access permissions.
Remote Desktop Protocol allows users to remotely access and control a Windows server desktop environment through a full graphical interface. True.
RDP is primarily designed for command-line-only administration and does not support clipboard sharing, printer redirection, or file transfer. False. RDP provides a full graphical interface and supports file transfer, remote application access, printer redirection, and clipboard sharing.
One security risk of RDP is that weak passwords can expose the server to brute-force attacks and unauthorized access. True.
A best practice for RDP access is to disable Network Level Authentication so users can connect faster before authentication occurs. False. A best practice is to enable Network Level Authentication. The real answer is that NLA improves security by requiring authentication before a full RDP session is established.
Using a VPN before RDP access is considered a best practice because it adds a protected access layer before exposing remote desktop services. True.
Windows Admin Center is a browser-based management platform for Windows Server that supports features such as Event Viewer, firewall management, certificate management, PowerShell integration, and Hyper-V management. True.
Windows Admin Center is mainly a local-only desktop application and cannot simplify multi-server management through a centralized dashboard. False. Windows Admin Center is browser-based and provides a centralized dashboard. The real answer is that it supports easier multi-server management and simplifies administration.
PowerShell Remoting allows administrators to execute commands remotely on Windows servers and is useful for automation and script-based management. True.
Enable-PSRemoting is used to connect to a specific remote server session, while Enter-PSSession is used to enable remoting on the server. False. The real answer is that Enable-PSRemoting enables remoting, while Enter-PSSession -ComputerName Server01 connects to a remote server session.
Invoke-Command is associated with running remote commands in PowerShell Remoting. True.
SSH provides encrypted remote access and can be used for remote command execution, secure file transfer, Linux and Windows remote access, and network device management. True.
SSH is considered insecure for remote administration because it sends communication in plain text and increases interception risks. False. SSH provides encrypted communication. The real answer is that SSH reduces interception risks through secure authentication and encrypted remote access.
Server maintenance refers to regular activities that help keep servers secure, stable, updated, and operational. True.
Server maintenance focuses only on repairing failed hardware and does not include updates, performance monitoring, backups, disk cleanup, security scanning, or log monitoring. False. Server maintenance includes installing updates, monitoring performance, backup verification, disk cleanup, security scanning, log monitoring, and hardware inspection.
The goals of server maintenance include preventing downtime, improving performance, ensuring data security, and maintaining business continuity. True.
Preventive maintenance is performed after a problem occurs, such as restoring corrupted files or replacing failed hardware. False. Preventive maintenance is performed regularly to prevent problems. The real answer is that corrective maintenance is performed after a problem occurs.
Applying patches, updating antivirus software, and performing disk cleanup are examples of preventive maintenance. True.
Corrective maintenance uses monitoring tools to predict future failures before they happen. False. Predictive maintenance uses monitoring tools to predict future failures. The real answer is that corrective maintenance is performed after a problem occurs.
Replacing failed hardware and restoring corrupted files are examples of corrective maintenance. True.
Predictive maintenance may involve monitoring CPU temperature and analyzing storage health to detect possible future failures. True.
Adaptive maintenance means modifying systems to support new requirements, such as upgrading the server operating system or migrating services to the cloud. True.
CPU usage, memory usage, disk space, network traffic, event logs, and service status are important metrics for monitoring server health. True.
Task Manager, Performance Monitor, Event Viewer, Windows Admin Center, SolarWinds, and Nagios are examples of monitoring tools. True.
Monitoring server health is unnecessary if backups are already configured because backups alone prevent outages. False. Backups protect data, but monitoring helps detect issues early. The real answer is that early detection through monitoring can prevent major outages.
Patch management involves installing updates and fixes to maintain server security and stability. True.
Security patches, bug fixes, feature updates, and driver updates are types of updates involved in patch management. True.
Ignoring updates can lead to malware infections, system vulnerabilities, data breaches, and compliance violations. True.
A safe patch management practice is to install all updates immediately on production servers without testing or backups to reduce maintenance time. False. Best practices include testing updates first, scheduling maintenance windows, backing up before patching, and monitoring update success.
A full backup copies all selected files, folders, applications, and system data, making recovery simpler but requiring more storage and time. True.
An incremental backup copies all files changed since the last full backup, causing the backup size to grow daily until the next full backup. False. That describes a differential backup. The real answer is that an incremental backup copies only files changed since the last backup.
Incremental backups are storage-efficient and faster for daily backups, but recovery can be slower because restoration depends on the backup chain. True.
A differential backup copies all files changed since the last full backup and generally restores faster than an incremental backup. True.
A Disaster Recovery Plan is a documented strategy for restoring IT systems, applications, servers, and operations after a disaster. True.
RTO measures the maximum acceptable amount of data loss, while RPO measures how quickly a system must be restored after failure.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
