CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 83

A company wants to perform an in-place upgrade of operating systems on all workstations. All types of removable storage are disabled for security reasons. Which of the following is the best way to upgrade while keeping security settings in place?

Answer options

• A. Using an external hard drive to upgrade the OS
• B. Copying the ISO file to each workstation and executing
• C. Setting up image deployment for PXE
• D. Using a hardware token to access upgrade files

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Setting up image deployment for PXE allows for OS upgrades over the network without the need for removable storage, thus adhering to security policies. Using an external hard drive or copying the ISO file to each workstation could violate security rules, while a hardware token does not address the need for an OS upgrade method.
