Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Members of Backup Operators cannot connect to the server using Remote Desktop.
The 'Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services' policy explicitly prevents members of Backup Operators from using Remote Desktop. Therefore, they cannot connect via RDP, making Option A correct. Option B is incorrect because the policy only affects Remote Desktop, not local console logon. Option C is incorrect because the policy denies, not allows. Option D is incorrect because it does not affect other remote access methods like SSH unless specifically configured.
