Your network consists of a single Active Directory domain. The network contains two Windows
Server 2008 R2 computers named Server1 and Server2. The company has two identical print devices.
You plan to deploy print services. You need to plan a print services infrastructure to meet the
following requirements:
• Manage the print queue from a central location.
• Make the print services available, even if one of the print devices fails.
What should you include in your plan?
A.
Install and share a printer on Server1. Enable printer pooling.
B.
Install the Remote Desktop Services server role on both servers. Configure Remote Desktop
Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker).
C.
Install and share a printer on Server1. Install and share a printer on Server2. Use Print
Management to install the printers on the client computers.
D.
Add Server1 and Server2 to a Network Load Balancing cluster. Install a printer on each node of the
cluster.

Managing printers can be the bane of a Windows administrator. One feature that may assist you
with this task is the Windows printer pooling feature. Windows Server 2008 offers functionality that
permits a collection of multiple like-configured printers to distribute the print workload.
Printer pooling makes one share that clients print to, and the jobs are sent to the first available
printer. Configuring print pooling is rather straightforward in the Windows printer configuration
applet of the Control Panel. Figure A shows two like-modeled printers being pooled.
To use pooling, the printer models need to be the same so that the driver configuration is
transparent to the end device; this can also help control costs of toner and other supplies. But plan
accordingly — you don’t want users essentially running track to look for their print jobs on every
printer in the office.
