tricky question...
|
|
|
| You are a network administrator for your company. The network contains 2,500 Windows 2000 Professional computers, 70 Windows 2000 Server member servers, and 5 Windows 2000 Server domain controllers. All computer accounts are in their default location in Active Directory.
You need to deploy the most recent service pack to all of the computers with the least amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?
A. Create a script named Update.bat that runs the Update.exe file from a network share. Create a Group Policy Object and link it to the Computers container. Set the computer configuration to run the Update.bat script on startup. Restart each computer.
B. Create a Group Policy Object and link it to the Domain level. Configure the GPO to assign the Update.msi file under the user configuration logon script. Log on to each computer as Administrator.
C. Create a Group Policy Object and link it to the Domain level. Configure the GPO to assign the Update.msi file under the user configuration logon script. Restart each computer.
D. Create a Group Policy Object and link it to the Computer container. Configure the GPO to assign the Update.msi file under the computer configuration. Restart each computer.
I would go with A since you don't want to bind your SP updates on user logins, so b and c are kind of out of the picture. D actually seems to work as well...Any suggestions...
Thanks,

| D because assigning it to computers as well as placing the GPO in the computer container (I did not think you could do that though, only to the dc container), you will be installing the update no matter who logs on to the client.  | |

| makes sense to me!!!

| D. Creating a GPO and linking it to Computer container. Assigning this application to Computers. | |

| Tricky yes. "D" does seem logical and direct | |

| Remember that the Computers folder is not an OU, so you cannot apply a GPO to it. I agree not to link this stuff to logon scripts, so IMHO only A. is left.
Hope this helps

| I'll have to say C. You can not link a GPO to the Computers container and you sure wouldn't want to have to logon as Administrator to 2500 machines. | |

| It's obvious the answer should be C, but the question is worded wrong because it's from a braindump!
It reads:
C. Create a Group Policy Object and link it to the Domain level. Configure the GPO to assign the Update.msi file under the user configuration logon script. Restart each computer.
It's obvious it should read:
C. Create a Group Policy Object and link it to the Domain level. Configure the GPO to assign the Update.msi file under the computer configuration. Restart each computer.
That's why I didn't answer the question when it was originally posted. I knew from previous experience this poster had a nasty habit of posting braindump questions a few days before his scheduled exam. I answered a couple of his questions myself in the 215 forum before I realized what was up and then began ignoring them. It's obvious he doesn't know any of the material. He's all paper, check it out!
A few examples:
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
This next one really is hilarious!
Passed with perfect Score
We know anyone can achieve a perfect score if all they do is memorize questions and answers! This guy seems to relish in it!
Back to old tricks!
Now he's back to being suttle again!

| Alright Zara, didn't notice right away.
Anyway, your solution makes sense, and i was indeed confused about the user configuration kind of stuff.
And indeed, braindumps... I rely on MOC (happy few, i admit), technet, practice and of course Transcender.
Now wish me luck, tomorrow i go for the 70-219. And the next one will be 70-218 i think.

| May the force be with you tomorrow! 218 should be quick and easy for you. Good luck!  | |

| Zara:
Glad you pointed that out. I seemed to have fallen for it too. I thought the question looked screwy. Thanks. | |

| I think its A because of following reasons.
Update.exe is the ending called .exe not msi or something else if you are preparing a servicepack I think it`s update.exe and you must configure a skript or .bat which is calling update.exe
If this is wrong pls. say it but I would choose this because of the logic. | |

| First of all, the question is convoluted as hell because it's a braindump question. 
GPOs can be linked to Sites, Domains, OUs, and Computers. Don't forget the Computer Container is none of the aforementioned, and therefore, a GPO cannot be linked to it. | |

Also, the update.bat script would run everytime a computer starts. |
