You are the systems administrator for your company. The company’s network consists of a single Active Directory domain. The network also contains a Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008 computer named EBS1. You manage all computers and devices on the network by using System Center Essentials in Windows EBS.
You add to the domain a new client computer running Windows Vista, which will be managed by EBS1. You run the Computer and Device Management Wizard to discover the new computer. However, the detailed information about the computer is not displayed on the Managed Computers and Devices page. You want to see the detailed information about the computer on the Managed Computers and Devices page.
What should you do?
A.
Restart the Computer and Device Management Wizard.
B.
Restart EBS1.
C.
Run the gpupdate /force command on EBS1.
D.
Run the gpupdate /force command on the new client computer.
Explanation:
You should run the gpupdate /force command on the new client computer. When you connect a computer running Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows Server to the domain, System Center Essentials in Windows EBS can discover and manage the computer. Either you can configure System Center Essentials for automatic discovery, or you can use the Computer and Device Management Wizard to discover the new computers and install the management agent on them. After you add a computer to the domain and run the Computer and Device Management Wizard, it can take 90-120 minutes for the Group Policy settings to be applied to the computer. Until the Group Policy settings are applied to the computer, you cannot see detailed information about the computer on the Managed Computers and Devices page. You can, however, accelerate this process by running the gpupdate /force command on the computer that requires discovery.You should not run the gpupdate /force command on EBSl because this command must be run on the computer that requires discovery. In this scenario, you want to the detailed information about the new client computer that you added to the network. Therefore, you must run the gpupdate /force command on the new client computer.
You should not restart the Computer and Device Management Wizard. After you add a computer to the domain and run the Computer and Device Management Wizard, it can take 90-120 minutes for the Group Policy settings to be applied to the computer. Until the Group Policy settings are applied to the computer, you cannot see detailed information about the computer on the Managed Computers and Devices page. Therefore, restarting the Computer and Device Management Wizard will not be useful in this scenario because that will not cause the Group Policy settings to be applied to the new computer.
You should not restart EBSl. The problem stated in the scenario occurs when the Group Policy settings are not applied to the new computer that needs to be discovered. Restarting EBSl will not ensure that the Group Policy settings are applied to the new computer, and this solution may disrupt client connections to the server.
