To facilitate image management using Windows Deployment Services, an architect should deploy a standard base image to virtual desktops. WDS is designed for network-based installation of Windows images.

Question

Scenario: CGE needs to define its management process for desktop image releases. Some groups need a process for version control that includes thorough testing prior to production. How should the architect use Windows Deployment Services to facilitate image management?

Options

ABy deploying a standard base image to virtual desktops
BBy deploying a base image from an XVA file
CBy centralizing the volume-activation process
DBy installing Windows applications into an image

Why each option

ABy deploying a standard base image to virtual desktops

BBy deploying a base image from an XVA file

An XVA file is a virtual appliance format typically associated with Citrix XenServer, not a native image format deployed by Microsoft's Windows Deployment Services.

CBy centralizing the volume-activation process

Centralizing the volume-activation process is handled by services like KMS or Active Directory, not directly by Windows Deployment Services for image management.

DBy installing Windows applications into an image

Installing Windows applications into an image is part of image creation or customization (e.g., using DISM or MDT), whereas WDS's primary role is the network deployment of pre-prepared images.
