Designing and Implementing a Server Infrastructure — Question 1

A company has offices in multiple geographic locations. The sites have high-latency, low-bandwidth connections.
You need to implement a multisite Windows Deployment Services (WDS) topology for deploying standard client device images to all sites.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. At each site, create a multicast deployment. Pre-stage the client images that you plan to deploy and point them to the local WDS server.
• B. At each site, deploy a WDS Server and apply the same configuration settings to each WDS Server. Configure Distributed File Server Replication (DFSR) to synchronize install images.
• C. At each site, deploy a WDS server that runs only the Transport role and configure the local DHCP servers to direct local clients to the local WDS server.
• D. At one site, create a multicast deployment. Pre-stage the client images that you plan to deploy and point them to a WDS server.
• E. At one site, install four WDS servers and configure them as a load-balanced cluster.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating a multicast deployment at each site allows efficient image distribution over high-latency, low-bandwidth connections. Option B is incorrect as synchronizing install images with DFSR is not necessary for a WDS deployment in this scenario. Option C does not address the need for multicast deployment, and options D and E do not provide a multisite approach, which is essential given the company's requirements.
