Question

A remotely managed self-checkout machine in a retail store runs Windows 10. The image contains drivers for locally attached third-party hardware (i.e., receipt printers), third- party applications, and proprietary applications made by the company's IT department. The self-checkout machine is experiencing errors, and the store employees are instructed to reload the OS. Which of the following would be the BEST option to restore full functionality to this machine with the least administrative effort?

Options

  • ACD-RW
  • BBD-R
  • CThin client
  • DNetwork boot

Explanation

Network boot (PXE boot) allows the self-checkout machine to load a full OS image directly from a deployment server over the network, requiring no physical media and no on-site technician. Since the machines are already remotely managed and have custom images (drivers, third-party apps, proprietary software), a network boot/deployment solution can push the complete, pre-configured image in one operation. CD-RW (A) and BD-R (B) require physical media to be present at each machine - not practical at scale. A thin client (C) is a different hardware platform entirely and would require replacing the machine, not reloading its OS.
