Case Study: 15
Proseware, Inc
Scenario
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Proseware, Inc. is a publishing company that has a main office and a branch office. The main
office is located in New York. The branch office is located in Sydney. The main office has
5,000 users. The branch office has 1,000 users.
PLANNED CHANGES
Proseware plans to deploy a new 64-bit Application named App2 to 10 users in the branch
office. Only members of the local Administrators group can run App2. Proseware is
evaluating whether to deploy virtual desktop pools. The virtual desktop pools must meet the
following requirements:
• Apply the settings in GPO1 to the virtual machines (VMs).
• Prevent the VMs from receiving the Automatic Updates settings from GP02,
• Ensure that only the host VM is affected if a virtual hard disk (VHD) file becomes
corrupt.
• Minimize the amount of storage used to support the VMs.
• Minimize the amount of memory and CPU resources used by the VMs.
• Minimize administrative effort.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
All servers run either Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. All of the client
computers in the main office run Windows 7. All of the client computers in the branch office
run Windows XP (x86) with Service Pack 3 (SP3). All of the client computers in the main
office are configured as Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Visualization (MED-V) and Microsoft
Application Virtualization (App-V) clients. A two-node Hyper-V cluster is deployed in the
main office. The cluster uses Clustered Shared Volumes.
Existing Active Directory/Directory Services
The network contains a single Active Directory domain named proseware.com. The
functional level of the forest is Windows Server 2008. The relevant organizational units
(OUs) for the domain are configured as shown in the following table.
A custom Group Policy object (GPO) named GPO1 is linked to the domain, GPO1 contains
corporate computer security settings. A custom GPO named GP02 is linked to both office
OUs. GP02 contains Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) settings.
Existing Network Infrastructure
Each office has servers that have the following server roles or role services installed:
• WSUS
• Hyper-V
• File Services
• Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access)
• Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host)
• Remote Desktop Virtualization Host (RD Virtualization Host)
• Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RD Connection Broker)
REQUIREMENTS
Technical Requirements
When users interactively logs on to any of the client computers in the branch office, they
must automatically receive the local administrator rights to that computer. When users logs
off, they must lose the administrator rights. The disk space on all file servers must be
monitored. If any file server has less than 20% free disk space on a volume, a script must run
that deletes temporary files.
Problem Statements
The main office has a shared folder named Legal. The Legal share is only accessed by users
in the legal department. Legal department users report that it takes a long time to locate files
in the Legal share by using keyword searches.
###EndCaseStudy###
You need to recommend a solution for managing administrative rights for the branch office client
computers. The solution must meet the company’s technical requirements. What should you
recommend configuring?
A.
Account Policies by using GPOs
B.
Local Users and Groups by using Group Policy preferences
C.
Restricted Groups by using GPOs
D.
Security Options by using Group Policy preferences
Explanation:

Group Policy preferences, new for the Windows Server 2008 operating system, include more than 20
new Group Policy extensions that expand the range of configurable settings within a Group Policy
object (GPO).
These new extensions are included in the Group Policy Management Editor window of the Group
Policy Management Console (GPMC), under the new Preferences item. Examples of the new Group
Policy preference extensions include folder options, mapped drives, printers, scheduled tasks,
services, and Start menu settings.
