Minimize Impact RIS Servers - Quiz Explanation

The correct answers are indicated below, along with text that explains the correct answers.

1.	You want to install Windows 2000 Professional on multiple computers simultaneously in your organization. You want to minimize the impact of this installation as much as possible by distributing the network load among the RIS servers. How can you accomplish this goal? Please select the best answer.
	A.	Use the winnt.exe command with multiple /s: switches.
	B.	Install a WINS server on your RIS servers.
	C.	Pre-stage all client computers and assign them to designated RIS servers.
	D.	Include CNAME records in the DNS for the RIS servers.
	The correct answer is C. Answer C is correct because if you pre-stage the client computers and assign them to specific RIS servers, you can control which RIS servers are used in the deployment. Answer A is incorrect because the winnt.exe command is not used with RIS. Answer B is incorrect because WINS servers will not help distribute the load on the RIS server. Answer D is incorrect because CNAME records allow you to assign multiple names to a single DNS host, which would not allow for distribution of the RIS client load.

2.	How can you prevent users from performing remote installations on their own computers? Please select the best answer.
	A.	Remove DHCP servers from users segments
	B.	Only create images right before you plan to use them, then delete them from the RIS server
	C.	You cannot prevent users from installing the RIS client
	D.	Give permissions necessary to perform remote installations only to technical personnel.
	The correct answer is D. Answer D is correct because if you set restrictive permissions on the .sif files, users will not be able to install the RIS client because they will lack the requisite permissions. Answer A is incorrect because the users' machines may require DHCP for IP address assignment. Answer B is incorrect because users can still access the images even if you use the images for a short period of time, if you take no other precautions.. Answer C is incorrect because you can prevent users from installing the RIS client.
