SK0-003 Question #742: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Options

• ASet all servers to automatically download patches from the manufacturer's website.
• BInstall an internal patch management system and deploy from the system.
• CInstall the patches on each server from a deployment disk.
• DRDP into each server, manually download and install the patches.

Explanation

For a large, geographically dispersed server environment, an internal patch management system provides the most efficient, controlled, and scalable method for deploying patches. This centralized approach ensures consistent patch application and reporting across the entire infrastructure.

Common mistakes.

• A. Allowing all 2000 servers to automatically download patches directly from the manufacturer's website can consume significant internet bandwidth, lacks centralized control over patch testing, and could lead to widespread issues if a faulty patch is released.
• C. Installing patches on 2000 servers from individual deployment disks is an extremely manual, time-consuming, and logistically impossible task for a global environment of this size.
• D. Remotely connecting via RDP to each of 2000 servers to manually download and install patches is incredibly inefficient, prone to human error, and not a scalable solution for an environment of this magnitude.
