You work as a Network Administrator at AIOTestking.com. AIOTestking.com has an Active Directory
Domain Services (AD DS) domain named AIOTestking.com. All servers in the AIOTestking.com domain
have Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 installed.
AIOTestking.com has purchased 50 new client computers. You want to deploy Windows 8 Pro on the
new computers by using a server named TESTKING-SR21 that runs Windows Deployment
Services (WDS). You configure TESTKING-SR21 with a Windows 8 image to deploy to client
computers.
You want to prestage computer accounts for the client computers in an organizational unit (OU)
named Win8 Clients.
You open Active Directory Users and Computers on a domain controller. You discover that when
you create a new computer account, there is no option to configure the computer account as a
managed computer.
How can you create the computer accounts as managed accounts?
A.
In Active Directory Users and Computers, select the View > Advanced Features option and
then create the accounts.
B.
Create the computer accounts in the Computers container in Active Directory.
C.
Use Active Directory Users and Computers on TESTKING-SR21 to create the accounts.
D.
On the domain controller, install the WDS administration console then create the accounts.
what the freak? WDS has nothing to do with MSAs. The answer is A.

Tested this on my lab:
If you enable Advanced Features in AD Users and Computers, nothing happens when
you create a new computer account.
You do not have a new window where you can specify that this will be a “managed” account
and enter the needed information.
If you use AD Users and Computers on a DC that also has WDS, you will get the “next” window
when you are creating computer account.
Answer is D:
Besides, this is not a “Managed Service Account” in the sense described in Windows 2008.
This is sort of only a “prestaged” account, because the only way to create a Managed Service Account is through Powershell
What I am affraid is that despite the fact that the answer is D, if I stump with this question on the exam, and I answer D, it will be taken as a wrong answer.
Answer should be A. http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/506-how-can-i-prestage-a-computer-for-wds/
If you look in the comments, they make mention of enabling Advanced Features in the view menu as a requisite for reaching the selection for “This is a managed computer” when creating the account.
It’s D.
I just modeled this out: DC1 and DC2.
DC1 has WDS installed, DC2 does not.
DC1>AD Users and Computer> Computers> I prestaged there and have a next button on the machine name page to manage the computer (simple check mark)
On DC2 you don’t have that button.
Tested on lab: Mark and Pirolo are correct: answer is D.
Also, in the question “managed accounts” should be read “managed computer”.
