You have two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012
R2.Server1 and Server2 are part of a workgroup.
On Server1, you add Server2 to Server Manager.
When you attempt to connect to Server2 from Server Manager, you receive the following
error message: “Credentials not valid.”
You need to ensure that you can manage Server2 from Server1 by using Server Manager on
Server1.
What should you do?
A.
On Server 2, run the Configure-SmRemotingcmdlet.
B.
On Server 1, run the Set-NetFirewallRulecmdlet.
C.
On Server 1, run the Set-Item cmdlet.
D.
On Server 2, install the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT).
Explanation:
To enable Server Manager remote management by using Windows PowerShell
On the computer that you want to manage remotely, do one of the following to open a
Windows PowerShell session with elevated user rights.
On the Windows desktop, right-click Windows PowerShell on the taskbar, and then click Run
as Administrator.
On the Windows Start screen, right-click Windows PowerShell, and then on the app bar,
click Run as Administrator.
Type the following, and then press Enter to enable all required firewall rule exceptions.
Configure-SMRemoting.exe –enable
C – Set-Item

On the computer that is running Server Manager, add the workgroup server name to the TrustedHosts list. This is a requirement of NTLM authentication. To add a computer name to an existing list of trusted hosts, add the Concatenate parameter to the command. For example, to add the Server01 computer to an existing list of trusted hosts, use the following command.
Set-Item wsman:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts Server01 -Concatenate -Force

Answer A is to enable SM (Server Manager) Remote Management which is enabled by default on W2012R2.
In the question, the 2 servers are in a Workgroup, non domain member servers, so there is no trust between the builtin local Administrator accounts between either servers.
I think C. may be the answer (see Klaus’ explanation) regarding the trusted hosts list as non of the other answers fit apart from A.
I reviewed the link you posted, it says:
Local administrator accounts other than the built-in Administrator account may not have rights to manage a server remotely, even if remote management is enabled.

From Exam Ref 70-410, page 115
The TrustedHosts list exists on a logical drive called WSMan:; the path to the list itself is
WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts. To add a computer to the list, use the Set-Item cmdlet
in Windows PowerShell. After opening a Windows PowerShell session with administrative
privileges on the computer running Server Manager, use the following command to add the
servers you want to manage to the list:
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts –value -force
So answer is C.

For the A believers, the error you are getting is an “access denied” message, which means remote management is enabled, you’re just not allowed to use it. So definitely C.

It’s C.
Reference:
“To add remote workgroup servers to Server Manager
On the computer that is running Server Manager, add the workgroup server name to the TrustedHosts list. This is a requirement of NTLM authentication. To add a computer name to an existing list of trusted hosts, add the Concatenate parameter to the command. For example, to add the Server01 computer to an existing list of trusted hosts, use the following command.

C is the correct answer:
Add and manage servers in workgroups
Although adding servers that are in workgroups to Server Manager might be successful, after they are added, the Manageability column of the Servers tile—on a role or group page that includes a workgroup server—can display Credentials not valid errors that occur while trying to connect to or collect data from the remote, workgroup server.

On the computer that is running Server Manager, add the workgroup server name to the TrustedHosts list. This is a requirement of NTLM authentication. To add a computer name to an existing list of trusted hosts, add the Concatenate parameter to the command. For example, to add the Server01 computer to an existing list of trusted hosts, use the following command.
