  1. Slazenjer_m says:

    Option B is wrong option; Options A, B, D are the right options.
    To configure “remote access” you do the following:

    1. In SSMS: In Object Explorer => right-click server-name => select Properties =>
    Click the Connections node => Under Remote server connections, select the ‘Allow remote connections to this server check box’.

    2. Using T-SQL:

    USE AdventureWorks2012;
    GO
    EXEC sp_configure ‘remote access’, 1;
    GO
    RECONFIGURE;
    GO

      I agree with JosefTheGreat, the question specifically states You need to ensure that the instance is configured to allow remote connections even if the SQL Server is
      unresponsive to client connections. I feel ABC is the correct choice given the wording here.

  2. Slazenjer_m says:

    If the configure syntax is written out as follows:

    sp_configure ‘remote admin connections’, 1

    Then, that would be a valid choice for allowing ‘remote administrative access’, even when client connections are denied.
