Testlet: Graphic Design Institute, Case B
You are planning the deployment of Windows Server 2008 R2 to CHDATA03 and CHDATA04.
You have the following requirements:
Do not impact settings for CHDATA01 and CHDATA02.
Apply Windows Server 2008 R2-specific settings to CHDATA03 and CHDATA04 after migration.
Ensure that the ServerSettings GPO does not apply to CHDATA03 and CHDATA04 after migration.
You need to plan a strategy that meets the requirements.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correctanswer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)\r\n
General Background
You are the systems administrator for the Graphic Design Institute (GDI). GDI is a private liberal arts and
technical college with campuses in multiple cities.
Technical Background
The campus locations, users, client computers, and servers are described in the following table.
The campuses are connected by a fully meshed WAN.
The corporate network includes Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Domain controllers are located
on each campus.
GDI uses Microsoft Windows Deployment Server (WDS) to distribute images by using Preboot Execution
Environment (PXE). GDI builds images by using the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK).
GDI uses Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to distribute and manage Windows security
updates and software updates.
All private client computers and portable computersused by faculty and staff are members of the WSUS
computer group named Staff. All shared client computers are members of the WSUS computer group
named LabComputers. All faculty and staff users aremembers of the global security group named
GDI_Staff. All students are members of the global security group named GDI_Students.
Specific servers are configured as shown in the following table.
The main data center is located on the Boston campus. ADMX and ADML files are centrally stored on
BODC01.
All Charlotte servers reside in the CH_Servers organizational unit (OU). CHDATA01, CHDATA02,
CHDATA03, and CHDATA04 reside in the CH_FileServersOU. CH_FileServers is a child OU of
CH_Servers.
A Group Policy object (GPO) named ServerSettings applies Windows Internet Explorer settings to all
servers.
Business Requirements
After successful migrations to Windows Server 2008 R2 in Boston, New Haven, and Tacoma, GDI plans to
migrate its other campuses to Windows Server 2008 R2 in advance of a full Windows 7 client computer
deployment.
Server deployment on the Austin campus must be performed on weekends by using scheduled
deployments.
The post-migration environment must meet the following business requirements:
Maximize security.
Maximize data protection.
Maximize existing resources.
Minimize downtime.
Technical Requirements
The post-migration environment must meet the following security requirements:
All updates must be distributed by using WSUS.
All critical updates must be installed as soon as possible.
All drives on the Minneapolis campus servers must have Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption enabled.
The post-migration environment must meet the following data protection requirements:
All servers must have automated backup routines.
All backups must be replicated to the Boston data center at the end of each business week.
The post-migration environment must meet the following resource requirements:
Installations and recovery must be performed remotely.
All department volumes on file servers must have NTFS quotas.
Minimize download time for users who open MicrosoftOffice documents over the WAN.
Ensure that users’ files are always opened from theclosest file server when available.
Users’ files must be accessible by the same path from all campuses.
A.
Create a GPO named MigratedServers that contains the Windows Server 2008 R2 settings. Create a WMI
filter that targets Windows Server 2003 and link itto the MigratedServers GPO,
B.
Block inheritance on the CH_FileServers OU.
C.
Create a WMI filter that targets Windows Server 2003 and link it to the ServerSettings GPO.
D.
Enable loopback processing on the MigratedServersGPO.
E.
Link the MigratedServers GPO to the CH_FileServers OU.
F.
Create a GPO named MigratedServers that contains the Windows Server 2008 R2 settings. Create a WMI filter
that targets Windows Server 2008 R2 and link it to the MigratedServers GPO.
A little confused, E and F are required but isn’t C also?
A Group Policy object (GPO) named ServerSettings applies Windows Internet Explorer settings to all servers.
Ensure that the ServerSettings GPO does not apply to CHDATA03 and CHDATA04 after migration.
neo, some servers are 2008R2 like in Tacoma and Boston. by using WMI for 2003, IE settings won’t apply to this servers. so you should not choose C.
I`m confused to. None of the two answers will adress this requirement: “Ensure that the ServerSettings GPO does not apply to CHDATA03 and CHDATA04 after migration”.
Or am I missing something?
Internet Explorer Settings in Server 2008 R2 are applied by group policy Preferences, and not through the current settings in 2003, hence, once the migration is complete, the IE settings should automatically stop working.
It’s a little tricky. In the chart you see the servers in charlotte are running 2003 R2. In the question you’re deploying 08 R2 to the two servers so the GPO won’t target servers 01 and 02 because the WMI filter targets only the new OS.
