An administrator is troubleshooting BMC login issues on a PowerEdge XE server. The admin can ping the BMC IP address, but cannot log in via the web interface or SSH. The admin suspects the account is locked. What is the BEST way to verify and resolve this issue?

Reboot the server to clear the lock

Disconnect and reconnect the network cable to reset the BMC

Use the serial console to log in as a different user with administrative privileges and unlock the locked account

Use the IPMI tool with the default credentials to reset the password

An administrator is trying to access the BMC web interface of a PowerEdge XE server from a browser. The admin enters the correct IP address, but the browser displays a security warning about the certificate. What should the admin do to proceed?

Proceed to the site, acknowledging the warning, because the BMC uses a self-signed certificate

Clear the browser cache and try again

Replace the BMC's certificate with a trusted CA-signed certificate before accessing

Use HTTP instead of HTTPS to avoid the warning

A junior admin is logging into the BMC web interface of a newly deployed PowerEdge XE server for the first time. The server was just unboxed and powered on. Which credentials should the admin use to log in?

The username 'root' and a password printed on the server's chassis label

The default username 'root' and password 'calvin'

The service tag as the username and the express service code as the password

The default username 'admin' and password 'admin'

A PowerEdge XE server is deployed in a remote site with no local IT staff. The BMC is configured with a shared NIC, and the server is reachable on the production network. However, the BMC web interface is not accessible from the corporate office. The admin can ping the server's production IP, but not the BMC IP. What is the most likely cause?

The corporate firewall is blocking HTTPS traffic to the BMC IP

The BMC IP is on a different subnet that is not routed from the corporate office

The shared NIC is not configured for BMC traffic

A security policy requires that all BMC default credentials be changed before servers are placed into production. An admin is configuring a new PowerEdge XE server. What is the FIRST action the admin should take after logging into the BMC with the default credentials?

Configure the network settings for the BMC

Change the default password to a strong, unique password

Update the BMC firmware to the latest version

Create a new user account and delete the default 'root' account
