Your company purchases 15 new 64bit servers as follows:
• Five of the servers have a single processor.
• Five of the servers have a single dual core processor.
• Five of the servers have two quad core processors.
You plan to deploy Windows Server 2008 R2 on the new servers by using Windows Deployment
Services (WDS). You need to recommend a WDS install image strategy that meets the following
requirements:
• Minimizes the number of install images
• Supports the deployment of Windows Server 2008 R2
What should you recommend?
A.
one install image file that contains three install images
B.
one install image file that contains a single install image
C.
two install image files that each contain a single install image
D.
three install image files that each contain a single install image
Explanation:
You only need one image per processor type
Windows Deployment Services Images
Windows Deployment Services uses two different types of images: install images and boot images.
Install images are the operating system images that will be deployed to Windows Server 2008 or
Windows Vista client computers. A default installation image is located in the \Sources directory of
the Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 installation DVDs. If you are using WDS to deploy
Windows Server 2008 to computers with different processor architectures, you will need to add
separate installation images for each architecture to the WDS server. Architecture-specific images
can be found on the architecture-specific installation media. For example, the Itanium image is
located on the Itanium installation media and the x64 default installation image is located on the x64
installation media. Although you can create custom images, you only need to have one image per
processor architecture. For example, deploying Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition x64 to a
computer with 1 x64 processor and to a computer with 8 x64 processors in SMP configuration only
requires access to the default x64 installation image. Practice exercise 2 at the end of this lesson
covers the specifics ol adding a default installation image to a WDS server.
