You deploy Windows 7 by using Operating System Deployment (OSD). The deployment task
sequence contains steps to install software updates and applications. The amount of time
required to deploy the Windows 7 image has increased significantly during the last six
months. You need to recommend a solution to reduce the amount of time it takes to deploy
the image. What should you recommend? (Choose all that apply.)
A.
Create a new automatic deployment rule.
B.
Synchronize software updates before deploying the image.
C.
Upgrade the image from Windows 7 to Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
D.
Add an additional Install Software Updates step to the deployment task sequence.
E.
Use offline servicing for the image.
Explanation:
Offline Servicing: This new capability lets you schedule ConfigMgr to apply updates to an OS
image imported into ConfigMgr without actually deploying the image.
This potentially removes the need to deploy updates during an image capture or
deployment, greatly reducing the time and effort spent on them and ensuring that operating
systems deployed by ConfigMgr are fully updated before brought online.
* Whether you use a Build and Capture task sequence to automatically build your images or
manually build your images, a great new feature of ConfigMgr 2012 is the ability to install
updates directly into an image contained in a WIM file. This functionality isn’t actually new as
it has existed in the stand-alone DISM tool from the beginning, but incorporating it directly
into the ConfigMgr console makes it more accessible, enables it to leverage the software
updates functionality of ConfigMgr itself, and makes it schedulable.
