Why each option

The administrator should use the ipconfig command to quickly review the server's network configuration details after OS installation.

Atracert

The tracert command is used to trace the path to a destination host, which does not show the local server's network configuration.

Btelnet

The telnet command is primarily used to establish a remote connection or test port connectivity, not to display local network configuration.

CipconfigCorrect

The ipconfig command is used on Windows operating systems to display all current TCP/IP network configuration values, including IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers. This provides a quick overview of the server's local network settings.

Dping

The ping command is used to test connectivity to a remote host and measure network latency, but it does not display the local network configuration.
