The company has purchased one hundred and fifty new servers. The server administrator needs to build and deploy them as quickly as possible. Which of the following is the FASTEST method of building…
The correct answer is D. Give the company build disk to the server manufacturer. To quickly deploy a large number of new servers, providing a standardized company build image to the server manufacturer for pre-installation is the fastest method. This leverages the manufacturer's processes to build servers with the correct configuration before delivery.
Question

Options
- ABuild each server from the OS manufacturer's build disk.
- BUse an imaging system to manually deploy the build to the servers.
- CBuild each server with the manufacturer's build disk.
- DGive the company build disk to the server manufacturer.

Why each option
To quickly deploy a large number of new servers, providing a standardized company build image to the server manufacturer for pre-installation is the fastest method. This leverages the manufacturer's processes to build servers with the correct configuration before delivery.
Building each server from the OS manufacturer's build disk is a manual, time-consuming process for 150 servers, requiring individual installation and configuration for each one.
While an imaging system can speed up deployment compared to manual OS installs, manually deploying the image to 150 individual servers still requires significant administrative effort and time per server after delivery.
Building each server with the manufacturer's build disk is essentially the same as option A, which is a slow and manual process for large quantities of servers.
Giving the company's build disk, which typically contains a custom image with specific configurations and applications, to the server manufacturer allows them to pre-load the OS and applications onto all 150 servers during their manufacturing process. This significantly reduces on-site deployment time, as servers arrive ready for final configuration and integration without needing individual manual builds.
