You work as a network administrator at ABC.com. The ABC.com network consists of a single
domain named ABC.com. All servers on the ABC.com network have Windows Server 2012 R2
installed and all client computers have Windows 8 installed.
The ABC.com network contains a network attached printer named HPNet01. You share HPNet01
from a server named ABC_SR02.
How would you configure HPNet01 so that users that are connected to the printer can still use the
printer even if ABC_SR02 fails?
A.
You should have HPNet01 listed in Active Directory.
B.
You should enable Branch Office Direct Printing
C.
You should configure the Printer defaults.
D.
You should share HPNet01 from a domain controller.
Explanation:
B is correct
Branch Office Direct Printing can reduce Wide Area Network (WAN) usage by printing directly to a print device instead of a server print queue. This feature can be enabled or disabled on a per printer basis and is transparent to the user.
Functionality: Client computers running Windows Server 2012 obtain printer information from the print server, but send the print jobs directly to the printer. The print data no longer travels to the central server and then back to the branch office printer.
