The branch office will not have access to the Internet and will contain 30 Windows Server 2008 servers. The installations of these servers must be automated and must be automatically activated. Besides the network traffic between the offices must be minimized.
Which of the following options would you include in your plan for the deployment of the servers in the branch office?
A.
Use Multiple Activation Key (MAK) Independent Activation on the servers. In the main office, implement a DHCP server and Windows Deployment Services (WDS).
B.
In the branch office, implement Key Management Service (KMS), a DHCP server, and Windows Deployment Services (WDS).
C.
In the main office, implement Windows Deployment Services (WDS). In the branch office, implement a DHCP server and implement the Key Management Service (KMS).
D.
Use Multiple Activation Key (MAK) Independent Activation on the servers. In the main office, implement a DHCP server. In the branch office, implement Windows Deployment Services (WDS).
E.
None of the above
Explanation:
For the deployment of the servers in the branch office with the given requirements, you need to implement Key Management Service (KMS), a DHCP server, and Windows Deployment Services (WDS) in the branch office.The KMS key is used to activate computers against a service that you can host in your environment, so you don’t have to connect to Microsoft servers. To activate computers by using KMS, you must have a minimum number of physical computers. The KMS key is installed on the host computer only.
To activate the KMS host, you must have at least 25 computers running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 that are connected together; for Windows Server 2008, the minimum is 5 computers.You need Windows Deployment Services (WDS) because it enables you to automate the deployment Windows operating systems. You can use it to set up new computers by using a network-based installation. This means that you do not have to install each operating system directly from a CD or DVD.
You must have a functioning DHCP server with an active scope so that WDS will utilize PXE.
