You are the network administrator of a furniture company. The company has a showroom and a warehouse. The company has a Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003-based network with a broadband connection. The network is located at its showroom. The warehouse has a stand-alone Microsoft Windows XP Professional computer.
Office personnel and salespersons in the showroom use a third-party application to track the availability of furniture. Warehouse employees use Microsoft Outlook that is preconfigured with an offline folder and an on-demand dial-in connection to examine e-mail messages and receive furniture orders. The third-party application is not supported over a dial-in connection. Broadband currently is not available at the warehouse location, but it is available in one month.
Management wants warehouse employees to submit regular updates of the furniture inventory to the showroom where they will be entered into the application. Management wants the updating to begin immediately.
You need to configure a temporary solution for updating the showroom records. You do not want warehouse employees to have any Internet access.
What should you do?
A.
Install Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services on the server. Teach the warehouse employees to use SharePoint Team Services to update the file records.
B.
Have warehouse employees send e-mail message updates to an e-mail-enabled public folder on the server.
C.
Configure Microsoft Windows Messenger on both the warehouse computer and a computer at the showroom by using Microsoft Passport. Teach the warehouse employees to send instant messages to the showroom.
D.
Have warehouse employees connect to the server with a VPN connection and browse the server for a shared folder. Have the employees update the file records.
