A single master image - containing the OS, drivers, applications, and network-specific settings - is created once and then pushed to all 20

Question

A technician needs to upgrade 20 PCs that have the same hardware specifications. The PCs must be configured with identical settings tailored for the network. Which of the following provides the BEST solution with the LEAST administrative effort?

Options

APC backup and multiboot setup
BPC backup and system image deployment
CPC backup and OS upgrade
DPC backup and clean install

Explanation

System image deployment (B) is the most efficient method for deploying identical configurations to multiple machines with the same hardware. A single master image - containing the OS, drivers, applications, and network-specific settings - is created once and then pushed to all 20 PCs simultaneously or sequentially using deployment tools (e.g., Windows Deployment Services, Ghost, Clonezilla). This drastically reduces repetitive manual effort. A clean install (D) would require individually configuring each machine. An OS upgrade (C) would not ensure identical baseline configurations. Multiboot (A) sets up multiple OSes on one machine, which is irrelevant here.
