A.
Run the Disable-NetFirewallRulecmdlet.

B.
Run the Enable-NetFirewallRulecmdlet.

C.
Run sconfig.exe and configure the network settings.

D.
Run sconfig.exe and configure remote management.

Explanation:
As we can see on the following screenshot, Remote Management is enabled by default on a new
Server Core installation of 2012 (so we don’t have to configure it on Server2) BUT that’s not enough
as it only enables WinRM-based remote management (and computer management is not WinRMbased of course). To enable the remote management from an MMC (such as server manager, or
computer manager), we have to enable exception rules in the Firewall, which can be done, amongst
other ways, using Powershell and the Enable-NetFirewallRulecmdlet.

Enable-NetFirewallRule
Detailed Description
The Enable-NetFirewallRulecmdlet enables a previously disabled firewall rule to be active within the
computer or a group policy organizational unit. This cmdlet gets one or more firewall rules to be
enabled with the Name parameter (default), the DisplayName parameter, rule properties, or by
associated filters or objects. The Enabled parameter for the resulting queried rules is set to True.

    I think correct answer is B
    Remember that if you need to remotely manage a computer running Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2 by using Computer Management, you should enable certain firewall rules either by using Windows Firewall With Advanced Security or the Enable-NetFirewallRule cmdlet. (Enabling the remote management property is not sufficient.) This statement is true for both Server Core installations and Server With A GUI installations.
