SK0-004 · Question #20
Which of the following protocols can be used to perform configuration management on a remote server using the MOST secure methods? (Select TWO).
The correct answer is C. RDP D. SSH. Secure remote configuration management requires protocols that encrypt the session and credentials in transit. RDP and SSH both provide encrypted remote management sessions, unlike plaintext alternatives such as Telnet.

Why each option
Secure remote configuration management requires protocols that encrypt the session and credentials in transit. RDP and SSH both provide encrypted remote management sessions, unlike plaintext alternatives such as Telnet.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for routing and delivering email messages and has no capability for remote server configuration management.
DHCP assigns IP addresses to network clients automatically and does not provide any remote administration or configuration management functionality.
RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) secures remote GUI-based management sessions using TLS encryption, providing a secure interactive channel for configuring Windows servers remotely.
SSH (Secure Shell) uses strong cryptographic encryption and supports public-key authentication to provide a secure command-line channel for remote administration, making it the primary standard for secure server configuration management.
Telnet transmits all session data including credentials in plaintext with no encryption, making it the least secure option and disqualified when the most secure methods are required.
DNS resolves hostnames to IP addresses and is not used for remote configuration or administration of servers.
