Your company includes mobile computer users who frequently work offline.
You are planning to deploy Windows 7 by using an image.
You have the following requirements:
Provide access to all applications when mobile computer users first start their computers.
Minimize network and local storage requirements.
Provide language-pack support based on the geographic location of the user.
You need to ensure that your image-creation strategy meets the requirements.
What should you do?
A.
Create a single thin image for all computers.
B.
Create one thin image for the mobile computers. Create one thick image for all other computers.
C.
Create one thick image for the mobile computers. Create one thin image for all other computers.
D.
Create a single hybrid image for all computers.
Explanation:
Thick images
contain core applications, language packs, and other files in addition to the operating system. When you create
a disk image that contains core applications and language packs, you need only a single step to deploythe disk
image and core applications to the target computer,with language support for all target locales. Also, thick
images can be less costly to develop, because they frequently do not require advanced scripting technique. You
can use MDT 2010 to build thick images with little or no scripting. If you use thick images, core applications and
language packs are available on first start.
A thin image
carries a much lower cost to maintain and store. Itcontains few (if any) core applications or language packs.
Applications and language packs are installed separately from the disk image. If you need to mitigate the
network transfer time, you can use trickle-down technology such as Background Intelligent Transfer Service
(BITS). Many software distribution infrastructures provide this facility.
