Explanation

PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) allows computers to boot from the network and receive an OS image from a central deployment server. With 50 identical machines capable of network booting, a Windows deployment server, and a Gigabit network for fast image transfer, PXE is the most efficient and scalable solution-a technician can deploy all 50 machines simultaneously without physically touching each one with media. UEFI (A) is a firmware interface standard, not a deployment method. Using a Windows 7 DVD (B) or USB flash drive (D) would require a technician to manually attend each of the 50 machines one by one, making them highly inefficient at scale.
