Your network contains 10 servers that run Windows Server 2012. The servers have the Hyper-V server
role installed. The servers host a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) that contains persistent virtual
machines. Each virtual machine is assigned to a specific user. Users can install software on their specific
virtual machine.
You need to implement a solution to generate monthly reports that contain a list of all the installed
software on the virtual machines. The solution must NOT require the installation of additional software
on the virtual machines.
Which solution should you implement?
A.
A Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager software inventory
B.
A Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager hardware inventory
C.
Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit scans
D.
Microsoft Audit Collection Services (ACS) audit logs
Explanation:
There is no way this is right, gotta be A
I can’t stand when people say “it’s gotta this”, but then do not provide any logical explanation or documentation to prove their answer. You are wrong, in this case.
MAP Toolkit scan is the only logical answer in this case. SCCM is not mentioned in the question at all. MAP is an agentless toolkit and can provide reporting as required in the question.
The Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit (MAP) is an agentless, automated, multi-product planning and assessment tool for quicker and easier desktop, server and cloud migrations. MAP provides detailed readiness assessment reports and executive proposals with extensive hardware and software information, and actionable recommendations to help organizations accelerate their IT infrastructure planning process, and gather more detail on assets that reside within their current environment. MAP also provides server utilization data for Hyper-V server virtualization planning; identifying server placements, and performing virtualization candidate assessments.

Before you go spouting off an answer, think twice if you aren’t providing some documentation. Do some research and provide a logical explanation as to why, to further your argument.
