network running either Windows Update or Automatic Updates (in earlier versions of Windows)
connect to the WSUS server and download the Updates.B is incorrect. Windows Deployment Services (Windows DS) is a new and redesigned

commonly used to deploy Windows operating systems in large to medium size business
