Explanation

This question assesses understanding of Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security (WFAS) Connection Security Rules, specifically how to configure IPsec to mandate mutual computer authentication using Kerberos V5 within an Active Directory domain.

Approach. The correct approach involves recognizing that the detailed rule on Server1 establishes a highly secure communication policy. It mandates that all inbound and outbound TCP traffic must be mutually authenticated, meaning both endpoints must prove their identity before communication is allowed. Utilizing Computer (Kerberos V5) authentication makes this ideal for domain-joined servers, as Kerberos leverages Active Directory for robust, centralized authentication of computer accounts, thereby preventing unauthorized or spoofed systems from connecting.

Concept tested. IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) Connection Security Rules, Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security (WFAS), Kerberos V5 authentication in an Active Directory domain, and securing network communication.
