A help desk technician is deploying a newly staged Windows 11 Pro workstation for a user on a corporate network that does not utilize DHCP. Network management policies require the client computer to be manually configured for local connectivity and enabled for inbound administrative access using native operating system features. Which of the following network settings and administrative tasks must the technician configure on this Windows client? (Select TWO.)
- Configure a static IPv4 address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses within the Network Connections TCP/IPv4 properties dialog.Answer
- Enable Remote Desktop in System Settings to allow incoming Remote Desktop Protocol connections through Windows Firewall.Answer
- CExecute the ipconfig /release command in an elevated Command Prompt to convert temporary DHCP network parameters into static settings.
- DUse the Credential Manager applet in Control Panel to configure default gateway routing rules and subnet masks.
Answer
The correct configurations are manually setting the IPv4 address parameters (static IP, subnet mask, gateway, DNS) in TCP/IPv4 properties and toggling on Remote Desktop within Windows System Settings.
In a non-DHCP environment, static network parameters (IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS) must be manually defined in the TCP/IPv4 adapter properties to enable network communication. Additionally, enabling Remote Desktop under System Settings enables inbound Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) management traffic and configures Windows Firewall accordingly.
