Your network contains a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager environment that contains six
servers configured as shown in the following table:
Server5 and Server6 are in the perimeter network, while Server1, Server2, Server3, and Server4 are
in the internal network.
You plan to deploy servers to the perimeter network by using Configuration Manager.
The operating system for each server will be installed over the network.
The installations will begin automatically, as soon as each server starts for the first time.
You need to recommend a solution to minimize the amount of network traffic between the
perimeter network and the internal network during the installation of the operating systems.
What should you do?
A.
Install a software update point on Server3.
B.
Configure IIS to support only HTTP on Server3.
C.
Install a PXE-enabled protected distribution point on Server5.
D.
Install a management point on Server5.
E.
Install Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) on Server3.
F.
Install Network Load Balancing (NLB) on Server6.
G.
Install the Windows Cluster service on Server6.
H.
Install a PXE-enabled protected distribution point on Server4.
I.
Install a management point on Server2.
J.
Install a protected distribution point on Server1.
K.
Install the Windows Cluster service on Server3.
L.
Install Network Load Balancing (NLB) on Server3.
M.
Configure the Exchange connector on Server3.
N.
Configure IIS to support only HTTPS on Server5.
O.
Install an enrollment proxy point on Server6.

Introduction to Operating System Deployment in Configuration Manager
Methods Used to Deploy Operating Systems
There are several methods that you can use to deploy operating systems to Configuration Manager
client computers:
PXE initiated deployments: PXE-initiated deployments let client computers request a deployment
over the network. In this method of deployment, the operating system image and a Windows PE
boot image are sent to a distribution point that is configured to accept PXE boot requests.
Multicast deployments: Multicast deployments conserve network bandwidth by concurrently
sending data to multiple clients instead of sending a copy of the data to each client over a separate
connection. In this method of deployment, the operating system image is sent to a distribution
point. This in turn deploys the image when client computers request the deployment.
Bootable Media Deployments: Bootable media deployments let you deploy the operating system
when the destination computer starts. When the destination computer starts, it retrieves the task
sequence, the operating system image, and any other required content from the network. Because
that content is not included on the media, you can update the content without having to re-create
the media.

Planning a Content Deployment Migration Strategy in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

System Center 2012 Configuration Manager sites use the concept of preferred distribution points
instead of protected distribution points.

Introduction to Content Management in Configuration Manager – Preferred Distribution Points
When you install and configure a distribution point, you have the option to assign boundary groups
to the distribution point. When the client’s current network location is in a boundary group that is
associated with the distribution point, it is considered a preferred distribution point for that client.
When a client requests content, the client first connects to a preferred distribution point to retrieve
the application or package content. If the content is not available on any preferred distribution
points, depending on the configuration options that you set, the client can retrieve the content from
a fallback distribution point.
Further information:
A protected distribution point will limit deployment to a predefined boundary. (the perimeter
network) With PXE enabled the servers will be installed when they boot.
