Explanation:
To ensure that the administration of the Server Core servers must enable administrators to install and administer server roles remotely and fully manage the servers remotely, you need to enable Windows Remote Management (WinRM) on each server.
Windows Remote Management (known as WinRM) is a handy new remote management service for Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. WinRM & WinRS are very powerful new tools that Windows system administrators should learn about. With WinRM/WinRS, you can install programs, change settings, or do troubleshooting (as long as the network was up). You can even take it a step further and combine WinRS with a script to perform those tasks on a list of computers
