Your company has a main office and four branch offices. The main office is located in London.
The network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The network is
configured as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)
Each office contains several servers that run Windows Server 2012.
In each branch office, you plan to deploy an additional 20 servers that will run Windows
Server 2012. Some of the servers will have a Server Core installation of Windows Server 2012.
You identify the following requirements for the deployment of the new servers:
Operating system images must be administered centrally.
The operating system images must be deployed by using PXE.
The WAN traffic caused by the deployment of each operating system must be minimized.
You need to recommend a solution for the deployment of the new servers.
What should you recommend?
Exhibits
A.
Deploy Windows Deployment Services (WDS) in each office. Replicate the images by
using Distributed File System (DFS) Replication,
B.
Deploy Windows Deployment Services (WDS) in the main office only. Replicate the
images by using Distributed File System (DFS) Replication.
C.
Deploy Windows Deployment Services (WDS) in each office. Copy the images by using
BranchCache.
D.
Deploy Windows Deployment Services (WDS) in the main office only. Copy the images
by using BranchCache.
How is A correct? Wouldn’t deploying a WDS server in every office decentralize the deployments?
Basicallt, the way I understand it is… you WILL Administer the images centrally (from the Main Office, you will create the images etc) then you will send them via DFS Rep to each branch office, and the branch office WDS server can then grab the DFS Replicated copy of the image and send it to the clients over the LAN (which meets the requirement to minimize WAN traffic, since you need only send the images once to each site).
Bleue it doesn’t mention centralising the deployment it says that images must be centrally administered and images must be deployed with PXE
WDS in each location with DFS replication of the images meets all criteria
What I don’t understand is why not B? WDS can re-direct PXE clients to the target they are close to, why we need so many WDS server?
WAN traffic must be minized. This means the boot image must be provided from a LAN source in each office; requiring a local WDS server.
