Options

• AReplace each laptop in the company's environment with a standardized laptop that is
• BCreate batch script files that will enable the baseline security settings and distribute them to
• CSend each laptop to a regional IT office to be reimaged with the new baseline security settings
• DEstablish GPO configurations for each baseline setting, test that each works as expected, and
• ELeverage an MDM solution to apply the baseline settings and deploy continuous monitoring of

• A
  6% (2)
• B
  71% (22)
• C
  16% (5)
• D
  3% (1)
• E
  3% (1)

Explanation

The marked correct answer is B (distributing batch script files). However, this answer is debatable: batch scripts are Windows-specific and not truly cross-platform. For a global, cross-platform environment, option E (MDM solution) is the industry-standard recommendation, as MDM platforms like Microsoft Intune or Jamf natively support Windows, macOS, and mobile devices with continuous compliance monitoring. Option D (GPO) is also Windows-only and requires domain membership. If B is the intended answer, the rationale is that scripted configurations can be distributed and executed quickly across a known environment; however, exam takers should be aware that MDM (E) is the more technically sound choice for a cross-platform baseline deployment.
