Question

A technician is deploying a PXE installation of a new OS onto a small group of company workstations. Which of the following should the technician monitor during the installation?

Options

AImpact to the workstations
BImpact to the users
CImpact to the network
DImpact to the DHCP pool

Explanation

PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) boots workstations over the network and streams the OS installation image from a server across the LAN. Even a small group of simultaneous PXE deployments transfers large volumes of data, which can significantly saturate network bandwidth and degrade performance for other users on the same network segment. Monitoring network impact - such as bandwidth utilization on the switch or server - is therefore the most critical concern. Impact to the workstations is expected and intentional (they are being reimaged). Impact to users is already planned for (the machines are being taken offline for deployment). Impact to the DHCP pool is a minor consideration since PXE does use DHCP leases, but a small group of machines is unlikely to exhaust a pool, making overall network bandwidth the dominant concern.
