You have client computers that run Windows 7 Enterprise. All users have roaming user
profiles.
You deploy several client computers that run Windows 8 Enterprise.
Users who sign in to both the Windows 8 Enterprise computers and the Windows 7
Enterprise computers report that they no longer see their desktop background and their
theme.
You suspect that the user profiles are corrupt.
You need to resolve the profile corruption issue.
What should you do?
A.
Move all of the user profiles to a file server that runs Windows Server 2012, and then
modify the profile path of each user account.
B.
on the Windows 7 computers, configure the Download roaming profiles on primary
computers only Group Policy setting.
C.
on the Windows 8 computers, configure the Set roaming profile path for all users logging
onto this computer Group Policy setting.
D.
