manually assign the computer to a group, or Client-side targeting, in which the
computers are automatically assigned to a computer group by using group policies
or in which someone manually modifies the registry.
7. WSUS allows you to automatically approve every update, but you shouldnt
necessarily do that. What should you do before approving updates to be installed?
a. Check with Microsoft about which updates to apply.
b. Move the updates into quarantine and wait for others to report problems.
c. Approve all updates after the normal installation date.
d. Test the updates on your own systems before approving for rollout.
Answer: d
Difficulty: Medium

opportunity to test the updates. Updates are thoroughly tested by Microsoft, but
every organization is different; a single update might cause unforeseen problems
affecting hundreds of computers.

b. the Windows Registry settings for Windows Update
c. the current patch level
d. Internet Explorer proxy settings

you have and what two other factors?
a. speed and load between sites and distance from Microsoft

b. download speed and update frequency

c. the number of clients divided by 52
d. speed and load between sites and the number of clients
Answer: d
Difficulty: Medium
Section Ref: Deploying Windows Server Update Services
Explanation: If you administer more than a few hundred computers or multiple sites,
you can create a hierarchy of WSUS servers. The number of WSUS servers will be
determined by the number of sites, the speed and load of the links between sites,
and the number of clients that you must support.
13. WSUS can retrieve updates directly from Microsoft or from what other source?
a. a secondary Microsoft Windows Update location
b. the original Windows installation media
c. another WSUS server on your network
d. a public FTP site
Answer: c
Difficulty: Easy
Section Ref: Deploying Windows Server Update Services

another WSUS server on your network. If you have two WSUS servers connected
with a high-speed link, one server can get the updates from the Microsoft Update
while the other gets them from the first server.
14. By default, to which computer group are computers assigned in WSUS?
a. All Computers
b. All Clients
c. All Systems
d. Default

16. You work for an organization that has a mix of Windows 7, Windows 8, and
Windows 8.1 computers. You will be using WSUS to deploy Microsoft updates to
these computers. What is the minimum number of WSUS computer groups required
for the updates?
a. none
b. one
c. two
d. three
Answer: b
Difficulty: Medium
Section Ref: Managing Patch Management in Mixed Environments
Explanation: If you have a mix of Windows updates, you dont have to put the
computers into computer groups based on operating system. Instead, you can
deploy the updates as you deploy any other updates. If the update does not apply
to the system because the update was specified for one version of Windows yet the
system has another version, the patch will not be deployed to the system and the
WSUS console will show that the patch was not needed.

Short Answer
17. What are the minimum disk space requirements for a new WSUS 3.0 SP2
installation?
Answer: 10 GB for WSUS, 2 GB for the database, and 30 GB for updates
Difficulty: Medium
Section Ref: Installing WSUS
Explanation: A WSUS server requires about 10 gigabytes (GB) of disk space for
WSUS to run and 2 GB minimum to store the database. You will also need at least 30
GB to store the updates locally; however, depending on how many updates you
need to store, you will most likely need much more.
18. Which database is required for WSUS?
Answer: Microsoft SQL Server (2012, 2008, or 2005 SP2) or Windows Internal
Database
Difficulty: Medium

Section Ref: Installing WSUS

19. How do you manually synchronize updates? (What are the necessary steps?)
Answer: Open the Update Services console, expand the nodes under the server in
the left pane, and click Synchronization > Synchronize Now.
Difficulty: Hard
Section Ref: Configuring WSUS Synchronization
Explanation: You can manually synchronize the updates or you can schedule them.
To synchronize manually, open the Update Services console, expand the nodes
under the server in the left pane, and then click Synchronization > Synchronize
Now. To check whether a synchronization succeeded or failed, view the center pane.
20. In an Active Directory domain scenario, how should you configure client-side
targeting?
Answer: Through the use of Group Policies
Difficulty: Medium
Section Ref: Configuring Client-Side Targeting
Explanation: For several computers, client-side targeting is an excellent option that
automates the process of assigning computers to computer groups. For domain
computers, you should use group policies.
21. If you have computers that arent participating in an Active Directory domain,
how do you set up client-side targeting for those systems?
Answer: You have to modify the registry in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate subkey.
Difficulty: Hard
Section Ref: Configuring Client-Side Targeting
Explanation: For computers that arent part of the domain, you have to modify the
registry if you want to enable client-side targeting. The registry entries for the WSUS
environment options are located in the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
22. How can you force systems to update immediately?
Answer: You can force systems to update immediately by specifying a deadline in
the past.
Difficulty: Medium
Section Ref: Approving Updates

Explanation: You can specify a deadline when you approve an update or set of
updates on the WSUS server. Setting a deadline causes clients to install the update
at a specific time. If the client contacts the server after the update deadline has
passed, it tries to install the update as soon as possible. If you want computers to
install an update immediately, you can specify a deadline in the past.
