Difficulty: EasyRemote Access Technologies and Tools

A systems administrator is configuring a Windows 11 Pro workstation to accept incoming Remote Desktop connections from internal network users. Which TWO of the following requirements must be met to successfully establish these sessions?

  1. Enable the 'Allow remote connections to this computer' setting in System propertiesAnswer
  2. Allow inbound traffic on TCP port 3389 through the host firewallAnswer
  3. C
    Allow inbound traffic on TCP port 22 through the host firewall
  4. D
    Install Windows 11 Home edition on the target computer

Answer

To allow incoming Remote Desktop connections, the Remote Desktop feature must be enabled in system settings and inbound traffic on TCP port 3389 must be allowed through the host firewall.
Establishing a Remote Desktop session requires both OS-level permission (enabling remote connections in system settings) and network-level permission (opening inbound TCP port 3389 in the firewall).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the protocol used for Microsoft Remote Desktop.
Remote Desktop relies on RDP operating over TCP port 3389.
Firewall rules must explicitly permit TCP port 3389 traffic for connection requests to reach the host service.
2
Verify operating system feature status.
The host OS must be a supported edition (Pro, Enterprise, Education) with the Remote Desktop hosting switch toggled on.
Incoming RDP requests are rejected by default until the OS setting permits remote desktop hosting.
