Case Study: 14
School of Fine Art
Scenario
COMPANY OVERVIEW
School of Fine Art is an educational institution that has a main campus and two satellite
campuses. The main campus is located in New York. The satellite campuses are located in
Los Angeles and Chicago. The main campus has approximately 4,000 users made up of
students, faculty, and employees. Each satellite campus has approximately 1,000 users made
up of students, faculty, and employees.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The network contains a single Active Directory domain named fineartschool.net. All servers
run Windows Server 2008 R2. All client computers run either Windows XP or Windows 7.
The network contains Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) and Microsoft Enterprise
Desktop Virtualization (MED-V).
Existing Network Infrastructure
The main campus has the following servers:
• A file server that contains confidential files
• A print server that has several printers installed
• A server that has the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server role installed
All client computers are updated by using the WSUS server. The main campus has a
computer lab. The lab has 50 client computers that run Windows 7 Enterprise. The computer
accounts for the lab computers are located in an organizational unit (OU) named LabOU. The
user accounts and computer accounts for all of the students are located in an OU named
StudentsOU. Both OUs are child objects in the fineartschool.net domain. The relevant Group
Policy objects (GPOs) are configured as shown in the following table.
REQUIREMENTS
Technical Requirements
The computer lab must meet the following requirements:
• Ensure that the user settings in all domain-level GPOs are App1ied to each student.
• Prevent the settings in all domain-level GPOs from being App1ied to the client computers
in the computer lab.
The update management infrastructure must meet the following requirements:
• Each campus must control the updates for its respective campus.
• Update status reports must be sent weekly to the Enterprise Administrator on the main
campus.
Application Requirements
All client computers will be upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise. An Application named App1
runs on every client computer. App1 is only compatible with Windows XP. App1 must
remain available after all of the operating system upgrades are complete.
App1 must meet the following requirements:
• App1 must be available from the Start menu.
• The management of App1 must be centralized.
• Each user must have a unique instance of App1.
Security Requirements
Security for the file server on the main campus must meet the following requirements:
• Unauthorized users must be prevented from printing sensitive files stored on the server.
• The contents of the server* s hard disks must remain secure if the physical security of the
server is compromised.
Problem Statements
Users report that they receive a different desktop environment every time they log on to a
client computer in the computer lab. The print server on the main campus has reliability
issues. A malfunction on a single printer often causes other printers to malfunction.
###EndCaseStudy###
You need to recommend an update management strategy for the Chicago campus that meets the
company’s technical requirements. What should you recommend?
A.
Deploy a WSUS server in replica mode, and then configure the server’s reporting rollup settings.
B.
Deploy a WSUS server in replica mode, and then configure the server’s email notification settings.
C.
Deploy a WSUS server in autonomous mode, and then configure the server’s reporting rollup
settings.
D.
Deploy a WSUS server in autonomous mode, and then configure the server’s email notification
settings.

Autonomous mode (distributed administration)
Distributed management by using autonomous mode is the default installation option for WSUS. In
autonomous mode, an upstream WSUS server shares updates with downstream servers during
synchronization. Downstream WSUS servers are administered separately and they do not receive
update approval status or computer group information from the upstream server. By using the
distributed management model, each WSUS server administrator selects update languages, creates
computer groups, assigns computers to groups, tests and approves updates, and makes sure that the
correct updates are installed to the appropriate computer groups.
The following image shows how you might deploy autonomous WSUS servers in a branch office
environment:
