Your network contains an Active Directory domain named adatum.com. The domain contains a member server
named Server1 and 10 web servers. All of the web servers are in an organizational unit (OU) named
WebServers_OU. All of the servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
On Server1, you need to collect the error events from all of the web servers. The solution must ensure that
when new web servers are added to WebServers_OU, their error events are collected automatically on
Server1.
What should you do?
A.
On Server1, create a source computer initiated subscription. From a Group Policy object (GPO), configure
the Configure target Subscription Manager setting.
B.
On Server1, create a source computer initiated subscription. From a Group Policy object (GPO), configure
the Configure forwarder resource usage setting.
C.
On Server1, create a collector initiated subscription. From a Group Policy object (GPO), configure the
Configure forwarder resource usage setting.
D.
On Server1, create a collector initiated subscription. From a Group Policy object (GPO), configure the
Configure target Subscription Manager setting.
Explanation:
Source-initiated subscriptions allow you to define a subscription on an event collector computer without defining
the event source computers, and then multiple remote event source computers can be set up (using a group
policy setting) to forward events to the event collector computer. This differs from a collector initiated
subscription because in the collector initiated subscription model, the event collector must define all the event
sources in the event subscription.
1. Run the following command from an elevated privilege command prompt on the Windows Server domain
controller to configure Windows Remote Management: winrm qc -q.
2. Start group policy by running the following command: %SYSTEMROOT%\\System32\\gpedit.
msc.
3. Under the Computer Configuration node, expand the Administrative Templates node, then expand the
Windows Components node, then select the Event Forwarding node.
4. Right-click the SubscriptionManager setting, and select Properties. Enable the SubscriptionManager setting,
and click the Show button to add a server address to the setting. Add at least one setting that specifies the
event collector computer. The SubscriptionManager Properties window contains an Explain tab that describes
the syntax for the setting.
5. After the SubscriptionManager setting has been added, run the following command to ensure the policy is
applied: gpupdate /force.
If you want to configure a source computer-initiated subscription, you need to configure the following group
policies on the computers that will act as the event forwarders:
* (A) Configure Target Subscription Manager This policy enables you to set the location of the collector
computer.
