Your company has a main office and a branch office.
Each office contains several hundred computers that run Windows 2012.
You plan to deploy two Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) servers.
The WSUS servers will be configured as shown in the following table.
You need to implement the WSUS infrastructure to meet the following requirements:
– All updates must be approved from a server in the main office.
– All client computers must connect to a WSUS server in their local office.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)
A.
Deploy a Group Policy object (GPO) that has the update location set to Server1.
B.
On Server2, configure WSUS in Replica mode.
C.
On Server1, configure WSUS in Replica mode.
D.
On Server2, configure WSUS in Autonomous mode.
E.
Deploy a Group Policy object (GPO) that has the update location set to Server2.
F.
On Server1, configure WSUS in Autonomous mode.
Explanation:
We simply need to configure the downsteam server (server 2) as a replica server, and the use the GPO in the branch office to point the local branch clients to
Server2 for updates.
We also need to have a GPO in the main office to point the main office clients to Server 1 for updates.
We do not need Autonomous mode – Autonomous mode will allow the Upstream server (server1) to share updates with the downstream server (server2) but it will
NOT allow it to share update approval status. The requirement specifies that all updates must be approved on server 1.

ABE is correct.
F, Autonomous mode is not needed as you would have to approve the updates separately on the downstream servers–not very intuitive and it at least doubles the exact same work previously done on the upstream server.
This question came up on my exam (I passed). You must select 4 answers, so the given answer is correct as it is.
THANK YOU!!
Requirement: All updates must be approved from a server in the main office
Therefore, Replica mode should be used to link WSUS servers together
B should be part of the solution.
A and E ensure that all client computers must connect to local WSUS server.
