This question is one in a series of questions that all present the same scenario. For your convenience, the
scenario is repeated in each question. (Click the Case Study button.)
Each question presents a different goal and answer choices, but the text of the scenario is exactly the same
in each question in this series.
You are deploying Windows 7 Enterprise and Microsoft Office to client computers.
The deployment must meet the following requirements:
Deploy Windows 7 Enterprise to all client computers.
Deploy Office 2007 Professional to client computers in the Munich office.
Deploy Office 2010 Professional to client computers in the Madrid office.
Automate the deployment to minimize administrative effort.
You need to recommend a deployment solution that meets the requirements.
What should you recommend?
Company, Inc. (Case Study): Background
You are the desktop architect for a company with 14,000 client computers. Some client computers are portable computers and some are desktop computers. All client computers currently run Windows XP.
You are in the evaluation phase for upgrading to Windows 7. Approximately half of the Carlsbad and Madrid offices are used by sales employees. Sales employees report to the office only once per quarter. Your company has users in offices as shown in the following table.
The address for the SharePoint site is https://intranet.company.com.
Each location has gigabit network connections to the desktop except Madrid, which has 100 megabit connections. Each office has a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and uses multiple VLANs.
You use Group Policy objects (GPOs) to manage various settings. The following figure displays the Organizational Unit (OU) layout for the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain.
Each office has two connections, a data center WAN link and an Internet connection. Each office connects to a central data center facility with connection speeds as shown in the following table.
You currently use one of each client computer model to create and maintain a disk image for each model. The models supported by your company are listed in the following table.
You currently use a third-party disk imaging application to capture and deploy new Windows XP computers.
Desktop administrators use optical media to deploy the image to new or repurposed client computers. The current Windows XP image is about 11 GB in size, which includes 2 GB of applications and 9 GB of Windows XP files.
Business Requirements
The deployment of Windows 7 must meet the following business requirements:
Deployment requirements
