Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. All servers run Windows Server 2016. The forest contains 2,000 client computers that run
Windows 10. All client computers are deployed from a customized Windows image.
You need to deploy 10 Privileged Access Workstations (PAWs). The solution must ensure that administrators can access several client applications used by all users.
Solution: You deploy 10 physical computers and configure them as virtualization hosts. You configure the operating system on each host as a PAW. You create a guest virtual machine by using the customized Windows image.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The proposed solution does not meet the goal because while the physical computers can be set up as PAWs, using them solely as virtualization hosts does not provide the necessary isolation and security for administrators. PAWs must be dedicated to administrative tasks without running client applications or environments that could compromise security, which is not achieved by deploying guest virtual machines on these hosts.
