You work as an administrator at ABC.com. The ABC.com network consists of a single domain
named ABC.com. All servers on the ABC.com network have Windows Server 2012 installed.
ABC.com has its headquarters in London, and several widespread satellite offices. When
ABC.com releases a new written policy stating that the graphical user interface (GUI) should not
be installed on any servers deployed to ABC.coms satellite offices.
It is reported that a server in one of the satellite offices are not compliant with the new written
policy. You are required to remedy the situation, while using the least amount of user interaction.
Which of the following actions should you take?
A.
You should consider uninstalling the User Interfaces and Infrastructure feature using a
PowerShell cmdlet.
B.
You should consider uninstalling the User Interfaces and Infrastructure feature via TS Manager.
C.
You should consider uninstalling the User Interfaces and Infrastructure feature via Server
Manager.
D.
You should consider uninstalling the User Interfaces and Infrastructure feature using the
Dsrm.exe command from the command prompt.
I understood it as a “Least amount of USER interacion” = Administration key mashing, in other words the use of POWERSHELL.
The LEAST amount of ADMINISTRATIVE EFFORT is using SERVER MANAGER
BUT
The LEAST amount of “User interaction” would be the equivalent to using Powershell, I guess

I disagree, within the Powershell command-line you can use the tab key to complete the command and it helps you to select the correct options needed. If an answer talks about using Powershell it is the most obvious answer (from a MS perspective).
You have to start server manager and add the server or make a RDP connection to that server and start server manager. Then click around the GUI to UN-install the GUI.
REMEMBER that NOTHING extra needs to be installed or connected to use Powershell. You do NOT know if the full GUI is installed within HQ London? Is there any Windows 8.1 Workstation with Server Manager installed?
What is more complicated, clicking through a GUI where you should know your way around or typing one line of code?

A is the CORRECT answer.

I agree with your perspective, but in this case i’m not sure whether microsoft would want us to choose answer C in this case, this questions sometimes are tricky.

HOWEVER, whenever I found the fricking answer, it quotes clearly that we should use the SERVER MANAGER, but on the fricking answer it points us to a microsoft knowledge base about POWERSHELL D:
Please be more specific, microsoft xD

I think this question touches on knowing when to use PowerShell and when to use GUI-driven administration tools. For example, if this question stated there were dozens of servers not compliant with the new policy, the answer would have been PowerShell because you can script the removal of the UI feature from all those servers more easily than accessing the Server Manager on each server to perform the task. However, with just one server on which you need to perform the task, I think Microsoft is pointing out that, yes, the least amount of effort can be had by using Server Manager. I know Microsoft pushes using PowerShell whenever possible (because it’s so AWESOME, right?), but there’s a limit.

It says satellite offices ! I guess GUI will have to much latency. In PowerShell you fire up the command and you set so i guess PS is the right answer. //Sascha

Here is my explanation.
As the question states: “…while using the least amount of user interaction”
It could not be A
“You should consider uninstalling the User Interfaces and Infrastructure feature using a PowerShell cmdlet.”,
because I don’t know the correct powershell CMDLET.
It says “using ‘A’ PowerShell cmdlet”.
In this case I would use server manager to uninstall the feature/role.
In my opinion the least amount of user interaction for me, than figuring out which command I should use.

How can I use Server Manager if there is not any server with GUI in company?

It was detected that this is the only server with the gui installed. So per the company policy you need to remove it.
