You need to ensure that the virtualization strategy meets the company's OSE requirements.
Which GPO setting should you recommend?
Company, Ltd. (Case Study): Background
You are the desktop architect for a company with 10,000 client computers. Client computers are either portable or desktop computers. All client computers run the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Enterprise. Your network consists of a main office and four regional offices.
Your network has an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) in a single-domain, single-forest model. The forest and domain functional levels are set to Windows Server 2008 R2. There are four domain controllers in the main office and two additional domain controllers in each regional office.
All servers run Windows Servers 2008 R2.
The regional offices are listed in the following table with users and WAN connection speeds.

Users in the New York office will have a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application that is CPU-intensive and only runs on windows 2000 Professional. The Toronto office uses a network-intensive application. All users in the Toronto office use a legacy CRM application that runs on Windows XP only.
The existing client computers are managed with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) 2007 R3.
Business Requirements
The following business requirements must be maintained or exceeded:
Software Asset Management
The company Software Asset Management (SAM) team has a policy that mandates that after operating systems are deployed, the operating system environment (OSE) must be activated automatically before any additional updates or software are installed in the OSE. The Paris development group has a Key Management Server (KMS) in an isolated test network. All engineering applications are required to maintain compliance with the license agreements of the application vendors.
Technology Requirements
You need to ensure that users can always receive operating system and application updates on the internal network and when away from the main office or branch offices. The mobile staff uses portable computers. In the next remote update of the client computers, you need to deploy an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) add-on to Microsoft Internet Explorer. This add-on must support a partner application and integrate with the remote users. The ERP Internet Explorer add-on does not support the 64-bit version of Windows 7.
Virtualization infrastructure
You use Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) to deliver applications to computers. You use Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 to deliver VDI desktops in a pool. All client operating systems deployed in the VDI pool must be automatically joined to the domain during the deployment process.
New Functionality
The fewest number of servers should be added to the environment to meet the technical goals. A new version of an existing engineering application must be deployed to the users. The new application requires a dedicated graphics processing unit (GPU) with 2 GB of memory.
Technical Requirements
The following technical requirements must be maintained or exceeded:
Infrastructure Requirements
All applications and updates are required to be deployed with the same central management tool. Detailed reporting for compliance audits are required to be available for all application and update deployments.
Application Compatibility
All current applications must be supported on Windows 7. You are licensed for the latest version of the Microsoft Desktop and Optimization Pack (MDOP).
Operating System Environment (OSE) Requirements
You need to ensure that Internet Explorer 9 is not automatically installed on any of the computers in the
Toronto office.
You need to ensure that the Internet Explorer Initial Wizard is not displayed on any Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI) computers.
Security
All remote access must be logged and audit able. All VDI desktops computers must not send Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) for Internet Explorer or windows Live Messenger.

A. Disable Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Disable add-on performance notifications.
B. Disable Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Prevent performance of First Run Customize settings.
C. Enable Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Disable add-on performance notifications.
D. Enable Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Prevent performance of First Run Customize settings.

Question 4

You are planning a zero-touch deployment of Windows 7 Enterprise to client computers on your corporate
network.
Each client computer has three available boot methods:
Boot from the network by using PXE
Boot from USB media
Boot from the local hard disk
You have the following requirements:
Set the boot method for a zero-touch deployment.
Ensure that client computers that fail on deployment can be manually configured. You need to design a zero-touch deployment strategy that supports the requirements. What should you do?

A. Set USB media as the first boot method and local hard disk as the second boot method. Remove network from the available boot methods.
B. Remove USB media and network from the available boot methods.
C. Remove USB media and local hard disk from the available boot methods.
D. Set network as the first boot method, USB media as the second boot method, and local hard disk as the third boot method.

Question 5

Your network has 1,000 client computers that run Windows 7.
You need to install an application, in the Local System account context, on the client computers.
What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
Choose two.)

A. Configure a logon script.
B. Configure a startup script.
C. Configure a logoff script.
D. Configure a shutdown script.
