A system administrator is concerned with employees connecting removable storage to the server. Which solution addresses this concern?

Disabling physical ports is an effective solution for preventing employees from connecting removable storage devices to the server. This approach physically restricts any external devices from being connected, thus eliminating the risk of unauthorized access to the server's data through USB drives or other removable storage. By doing so, it ensures that sensitive data and critical server functions are protected from potential breaches or malware that could be introduced through these devices.

While other options such as disabling write access can limit the actions taken on a removable storage device if connected, it does not prevent the connection itself. Disabling Wake-on-LAN (WOL) and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) also have their respective purposes but do not relate directly to controlling access to removable storage. Disabling physical ports, however, directly meets the security concern of unauthorized storage access.
