You need to manage DHCP on Server2 by using the DHCP console on Server1

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two
servers named Server1 and Server2. Server1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2. Server2 runs Windows
Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and has the DHCP Server server role installed.
You need to manage DHCP on Server2 by using the DHCP console on Server1.
What should you do first?

A.
From Windows PowerShell on Server2, run Enable-PSRemoting cmdlet.

B.
From Windows PowerShell on Server1, run Install-Windows Feature.

C.
From Windows Firewall with Advanced Security on Server2, create an inbound rule.

D.
From Internet Explorer on Server2, download and install Windows Management Framework 3.0.

Explanation:
When the DHCP role is installed, it appears that the firewall rules are automatically added, so C is
not valid (not only that, but either way it is an existing rule that one would need only enable
nonetheless, not create a new rule). This means you only need to add the DHCP Manager MMC
snap-in which is a Role Administration Tool feature.
So the correct answer must be B.

    Is this a tricky question?
    Two Servers:
    Server1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2
    Server2 runs Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
    We need to manage DHCP on Server2 by using the DHCP console on Server1.
    As they are running on two different OS shouldn’t we install Windows Management Framework 3.0 on Server2 first?
    Also, why not using PowerShell cmdlet Enable-PSRemoting on Server2 (A)?

    Ok…follow up on this issue….
    https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/keithmayer/2012/10/02/managing-windows-server-2008-sp2-and-r2-from-windows-server-2012-server-manager/
    Point 3. from this link is stating:
    “Configure: Run the PowerShell command prompt as a local Administrator by right-clicking on the PowerShell icon and selecting “Run as Administrator“. Execute the following PowerShell commands to enable remote management via WMF 3.0 and the Server Manager CIM Provider:
    Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
    Configure-SMRemoting.ps1 -force -enable”

    If I was in doubt before if WS 2008 R2 can be managed from WS 2012 R2 the answer is YES, but some “modifications” and additional installs are required.

    …but still confused…
    It seems that there are always a huge and long discussions (previous tests) either Remote Management or Installing Feature is required firstly.

    Can anyone clarify this for me?
    (similar Qs is appearing later in this test again)

      I agree that this is a tricky question. It appears that Server 1 (Server 2012 R2) does not have the DHCP Server role installed. Server 2 has the DHCP Server role installed already, and they made sure to point that out. If the question was only about managing Server 2 from Server 1, they would have said something like “Both servers have the DHCP Server role installed.”

      The PS cmdlet for installing the DHCP Server role is “Install-WindowsFeature -name dhcp”, so I would go with B.

        I came across some additional information on this item:

        I still believe that B is the correct answer, but installing the DHCP Server role may not be necessary in this instance.

        You could install the DHCP Server Tools by running Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-Role-Tools. This would give you the DHCP console (MMC snap-in) you need to satisfy the requirement in the question without having the full-blown DHCP Server role installed.

        The Role Administration Tools are also available through Server Manager by going through the Add Roles and Features wizard and expanding the Remote Server Administration Tools menu under Features.

        This information is briefly noted in the explanation above.

    First you need to enable remote management on 2008, because it is disabled by default. So (depending on the version of the question) if you have Enable Windows Remote Management on Server2, pick that.
    WMF/NET are needed to use Server Manager for remote management, so it doesn’t apply here. WinRM service that’s going to be used is installed by default on 2008 – although it is not configured to work (hence the Enable answer).
    If there’s no answer about enabling RM, then you will need to install feature on Server1 to be able to add DHCP snap-in.
