AZ-802: Administering Windows Server

Question

HOTSPOT -

You have an administrative workstation named AdminPC in a workgroup.

AdminPC has existing entries in the WSMan TrustedHosts list.

You have a server named Server1 that has PowerShell remoting enabled and is reachable at an IP address of 172.16.10.20.

You need to create a remote PowerShell session from AdminPC to Server1. The solution must meet the following requirements:

Preserve the existing TrustedHosts entries on AdminPC.

Use the IP address of Server1 for the remote session.

How should you complete the script? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Select

$var1 = '172.16.10.20'
$var2 = 
 WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value $var1 -Concatenate -Force
$s = New-PSSession -ComputerName $server -Credential $var2

Explanation

The WSMan client's TrustedHosts list is modified through the WSMan provider drive with Set-Item, and supplying the -Concatenate switch appends the new value to the list rather than replacing it, which is exactly what is required to add Server1's IP address while preserving whatever hosts were already trusted on the administrative workstation; -Force suppresses the interactive confirmation so the change applies unattended. Because New-PSSession authenticates using a PSCredential object passed to its -Credential parameter, Get-Credential is the cmdlet that must populate that variable, since it prompts for and returns a credential object suitable for establishing the remote session to the server at the given IP address.
