Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com.
You plan to deploy 200 new physical servers during the next 12 months by using Windows Deployment Services (WDS). You identify four server builds for the 200
servers as shown in the following table.
You need to recommend the minimum number of images that must be created for the planned deployment.
How many images should you recommend?
A.
1
B.
2
C.
3
D.
4
Explanation:
One image for the Full Installation of Windows Server 2012, and one image for Server Core installation of Windows Server 2012.
Correct: A
Only one image is required. You can convert Core mode Windows Server 2012 to a Full (GUI) Windows
Server 2012 with powershell through:
Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra,Server-Gui-Shell -Restart
I’m not sure. I would use 4 images therefore eliminating the need to install any additional roles. Converting between core and full, and installing additional features takes up to much time. I don’t know if I’m misinterpreting the question.
Agreed, the correct answer is A. This question is not asking about the least administrative effort, but about the minimum number of images required. Only 1 image is required.
A
I suppose their thinking is “minimum” = 1 because you can add the other stuff later. Pretty silly.
Realistically it should be 3. It’s not hard to create separate images, and it makes the whole deployment process simple and easy.
