Question 8

Why do the statuses of the two deployed applications differ?

Answer 8

You deployed Microsoft Office Word Viewer as Required. Therefore, the status is based on all users who have or have not installed the application, and the systems that have downloaded the content.
You deployed Microsoft Office Excel Viewer as Available. Therefore, the status process does not have any information to use other than attempted installations.

Question 9

An administrator needs to uninstall an application that is already deployed. To do so, the administrator must first remove the original deployment that installed the application, before creating a deployment package to uninstall the application.
( )False
( )True

Answer 9

(√)True

Question 10

When would you use revision history to revert to a previous version of the application?

Answer 10

Answers will vary based on the user’s experience. One reason for reverting would be to undo a change to a deployment type that caused unexpected behavior.

Question 11

When you signed on as Ed during Exercise 1, why did you see information about only the Microsoft Excel application and the Microsoft Visio Viewer application?

Answer 11

The Microsoft Visio Viewer application replaced the Microsoft Word Viewer application. Therefore, the Word Viewer application was no longer available.

Question 12

During Exercise 2, after you signed in as Ed, why did you see information for the Microsoft Visio Viewer application and the Excel Viewer application, but not the Word Viewer application?

Answer 12

The Microsoft Visio Viewer application replaced the Word Viewer application. Therefore, information about the Word Viewer application no longer displays. The Excel Viewer application was uninstalled but not replaced, so the Excel Viewer application still exists and could be available in the future.

Question 13

What are some of the differences between an application and a package?

Answer 13

There are several differences between an application and a package, including, but not limited to:
* An application uses deployment types instead of programs.
* You can define supersedence relationships in an application.
* You can add more user-searchable information to an application.

Question 14

For what do you use detection methods?

Answer 14

Detection methods enable the deployment process to determine whether an application is present in a system. Detection methods can use file or folder properties, registry settings, or scripts for determining whether a particular application is installed.

Question 15

Can you add multiple instances of the same deployment types to a single application?

Answer 15

Yes. In fact, in several situations you may need to create multiple instances of the same deployment types for a single application, such as when there are different dependencies based on the operating system target.

Question 16

What are the prerequisites for the Software Updates feature in Configuration Manager?

Answer 16

You must install WSUS either on the site server or on a remote server. You then add the software update point role to that server.

Question 17

Which version of WSUS should you use?

Answer 17

Even though WSUS 3.2 (included in Windows Server 2008 R2) is a supported version, we recommend that you use the WSUS 4.0 included in Windows Server 2012 or newer versions to support Windows 10 fully.

Question 18

Why should you disable Automatic Updates on all your Configuration Manager client computers?

Answer 18

This will ensure that the Windows Update agent does not detect pending restarts, displays an additional warning to the end user, or restarts the machine. This setting will also disable the Windows Update agent from updating itself from WSUS.

Question 19

You can use a maintenance window to control when a Configuration Manager client computer requests a policy update.
( )False
( )True

Answer 19

(√)False

Question 20

You plan to implement the software update point on a Windows Server 2012 R2 server. Which version of WSUS should you install?

Answer 20

For Windows Server 2012 R2, you need to install the WSUS server role. There is no need to download a separate WSUS version for installation.

Question 21

You need to add the service packs classification to synchronize for software updates. Where can you make this modification?

Answer 21

You can modify this in the Software Update Point Component Properties dialog box

Question 22

Even though you do not have to use software update groups when deploying software updates, we recommend doing so. Why?

Answer 22

We recommend that you use software update groups for the following reasons:

• Ensuring ease of management when you deploy multiple updates
• Providing tracking capabilities for the compliance status for multiple updates
• Enabling the delegation of software update administration

Question 23

How do you enable the WSUS clean up task?

Answer 23

1. In the Configuration Manager console, select the Administration workspace, expand Site Configuration, and then click the Sites node.
2. In the details pane, right-click the site object for your site (for example, S01 – Adatum Site), select Configure Site Components, and then select Software Update point.
3. In the Software Update Point Component Properties window, click the Supersedence Rules tab.
4. On the Supersedence Rules tab, select Run WSUS cleanup wizard.

Question 24

Why would you use an automatic deployment rule for deploying Endpoint Protection definition updates?

Answer 24

Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection (Endpoint Protection) definition updates release approximately every eight hours, so it would require a lot of work to create these deployments manually. Furthermore, it is important that you always keep your antivirus solution updated.

Question 25

When you add a deployment to an existing automatic deployment rule, you need to specify a deployment package.
( )False
( )True

Answer 25

(√)False

Question 26

What is the name of the log file in which you can find information about WSUS synchronization and site database synchronization with WSUS?

Answer 26

The name of the log file is wsyncmgr.log and it is located in the INSTALL_PATH\Logs folder.

Question 27

Which tool can you use for viewing Configuration Manager log files?

Answer 27

You can use the CMTrace tool to open Configuration Manager log files. The installation media in the SMSSETUP\TOOLS folder includes this tool.

Question 28

What are some of the advantages of using a software update group?

Answer 28

A software update group is an efficient way to organize, monitor, and deploy software updates.
Some of the reports found in the Software Updates categories, such as the Overall Compliance report and the Deployments of an Update Group report require that you use a software update group name as a criteria.

Question 29

When is an automatic deployment rule useful?

Answer 29

An automatic deployment rule is useful for automated deployments. However, it can be helpful for managing the deployment of Endpoint Protection definition files.

Question 30

You have a specific group of computers that require a unique scan schedule for software updates. What can you do to accommodate this?

Answer 30

You can create a custom client device setting that you configure with the update requirements. You then can assign the custom client device settings object to a collection that contains the group of computers.

Question 31

Which method would provide the most benefits for determining compliance with software updates?

Answer 31

Answers will vary, but options include sorting, filtering, searching the All Software updates list, or using software updates compliance reports.

Question 32

You have a line-of-business application that you want to update. Which tool can you use to create a catalog for use with software updates?

Answer 32

You can use SCUP to create a catalog for use with software updates.

Question 33

You have created an automatic deployment rule for Office 2016 updates. You want to deploy the same updates automatically to another collection. What are your options?

Answer 33

You could add a deployment to the existing automatic deployment rule and choose the other collection, and other settings as well.
