Practice question 63 of 506 · easy

A Windows Server 2025 host has the OpenSSH component installed but refuses SSH connections. No process is listening on TCP 22. What is the first configuration to check?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Only an inbound allow rule while leaving sshd stopped
  2. B.Only the authorized-key file after assuming a listener exists
  3. C.Whether the sshd service is enabled and running
  4. D.Only the client's known_hosts entry without checking the server listener
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Whether the sshd service is enabled and running

Installed OpenSSH binaries do not start a listener. Check sshd and then its network path. Authorized keys and host-key trust become relevant after transport reaches the server; an allow rule does not start a stopped SSH service.
