A server administrator was hired by a company to manage and maintain 20 Windows-based servers in five geographical locations. The server administrator is going to run patches manually to ensure they are applied, which would address some major security-related items. Which of the following methods would MOST likely be the way to handle this task?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. Use RDP to log into each server RDP provides a full interactive desktop session to each remote Windows server, allowing the administrator to manually execute patch installations, review results, and confirm success without traveling. This satisfies the requirement for manual patching control while being practical across five geographic locations. RDP is a built-in Windows feature specifically designed for remote server administration tasks like this.

Answer

A. Physically go to each server Physically visiting each of 20 servers across five geographic locations is impractical, costly, and time-consuming compared to remote administration tools.

Answer

B. Schedule automatic patching Scheduling automatic patching contradicts the requirement that the administrator run patches manually to ensure they are applied.

Answer

C. Use the management interface on the server The management interface (such as iDRAC or iLO) is used for hardware-level out-of-band management, not for OS-level patch installation.
