Your Company has one main office and 100 branch offices. The network consists of one Active
Directory domain. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2008 R2. The wide area network
(WAN) links from the branch offices to the main office are unreliable. A local administrator manages
each branch office. Your company plans to add a new branch office. You create a new organizational
unit (OU) that contains all the computer accounts for the new branch office. You configure a server
in the main office to test all new software updates. You install Microsoft Windows Server Update
Services (WSUS) 3.0. You need to implement an update management solution for the new branch
office to meet the following requirements:
• Only approved updates must be installed in the branch office.
• Client computers must be able to download updates if a WAN link fails.
• Each branch office administrator must be able to approve updates before installation.
What should you do?
A.
In each branch office, install a WSUS 3.0 server as a replica server and configure it to download
updates from the main office. Configure all computers to receive updates from their local WSUS
server.
B.
In each branch office, install a WSUS 3.0 server as a child server and configure it to download
updates from Microsoft Update. Configure all computers to receive updates from their local WSUS
server.
C.
In the main office, install a WSUS 3.0 server as a child server and configure it to download updates
from Microsoft Update. Configure all computers to receive updates from the new WSUS server.
D.
In the main office, install and configure a WSUS 3.0 server as a stand-alone server and configure it
to download updates from Microsoft Update. Configure all computers to receive updates from the
new WSUS server.
Explanation:
To ensure that only the approved updates by the head office are allowed to be installed in the new
branch office and to ensure that each branch office administrator must be able to approve the
updates before their installation, you need to install a WSUS 3.0 server as a child server in each
branch office. A child server can be configured as a replica or as an autonomous server. You should
not install/configure replica server because you don’t want a single administrator managing all
WSUS activities, rather you want each branch office administrator to be able to approve the updates
before their installation, which is possible in autonomous mode. To ensure that the client computers
are able to download the updates even if the WAN link fails, you need to configure WSUS 3.0 server
to download updates from Microsoft Update
