A. B. C. D.C.
The BEST option to make the change on a Windows server using a GUI when an administrator does not have access to a KVM is to use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), which is represented by option C.
RDP is a Microsoft protocol that enables a user to remotely connect to and interact with a Windows desktop or server, allowing users to control the server as if they were physically present at the server. This protocol is built into Windows and is widely used for remote administration and support.
Option A, SSH (Secure Shell), is a network protocol that allows secure remote access to a command-line interface on a Unix or Linux-based system. While SSH can be used to remotely administer Windows systems, it does not provide a GUI interface like RDP.
Option B, SCP (Secure Copy Protocol), is a network protocol that allows secure file transfers between hosts. While SCP can be used to transfer files between Windows servers, it does not provide a GUI interface like RDP.
Option D, NTP (Network Time Protocol), is a protocol used to synchronize clocks between computer systems over a network. While NTP is important for time synchronization in server environments, it is not a method for remote administration and would not allow an administrator to make changes using a GUI.
In summary, RDP is the BEST option for an administrator to remotely access and control a Windows server using a GUI.
