You need to configure the role services on all file servers that are necessary to meet the technical requirements.
Which role services should you configure? (Choose all that apply.)
Case Study Title (Case Study): General Background
You are the systems administrator for the Graphic Design Institute (GDI). GDI is a private liberal arts and technical college with campuses in multiple cities.
Technical Background
The campus locations, users, client computers, and servers are described in the following table.
The campuses are connected by a fully meshed WAN.
The corporate network includes Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Domain controllers are located on each campus.
GDI uses Microsoft Windows Deployment Server (WDS) to distribute images by using Preboot Execution Environment (PXE). GDI builds images by using the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK).
GDI uses Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to distribute and manage Windows security updates and software updates.
All private client computers and portable computers used by faculty and staff are members of the WSUS computer group named Staff. All shared client computers are members of the WSUS computer group named LabComputers. All faculty and staff users are members of the global security group named GDI_Staff. All students are members of the global security group named GDI_Students.
Specific servers are configured as shown in the following table.
The main data center is located on the Boston campus. ADMX and ADML files are centrally stored on BODC01.
All Charlotte servers reside in the CH_Servers organizational unit (OU). CHDATA01, CHDATA02, CHDATA03, and CHDATA04 reside in the CH_FileServers OU. CH_FileServers is a child OU of CH_Servers.
A Group Policy object (GPO) named ServerSettings applies Windows Internet Explorer settings to all servers.
Business Requirements
After successful migrations to Windows Server 2008 R2 in Boston, New Haven, and Tacoma, GDI plans to migrate its other campuses to Windows Server 2008 R2 in advance of a full Windows 7 client computer deployment.
Server deployment on the Austin campus must be performed on weekends by using scheduled deployments.
The post-migration environment must meet the following business requirements:
Maximize security.

Users' files must be accessible by the same path from all campuses.
Your network consists of three Active Directory forests. Forest trust relationships exist between all forests. Each forest contains one domain. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2008 R2.
Your company has three network administrators. Each network administrator manages a forest and the Group Policy objects (GPOs) within that forest.
You need to create standard GPOs that the network administrators in each forest will use. The GPOs must meet the following requirements:
The GPOs must only contain settings for either user configurations or computer configurations.
The number of GPOs must be minimized.

Existing Network Infrastructure
Each office has several file servers. The file servers have a limited amount of storage space. Users access the data on all of the file servers.
Each branch office has a WAN link to the main office. Users in the branch office frequently access the file server in the main office.
Current Administration Model
All servers are currently administered remotely by using Remote Desktop. Help desk users perform the following administrative tasks in the domain:
Manage printers.
Create shared folders.
Manage Active Directory users.
Modify file permissions and share permissions.
All of the help desk users are members of a global group named HelpDesk.
Business Goals
Trey Research has the following business goals:

REQUIREMENTS
Technical Requirements
Trey Research plans to virtualize all of the servers during the next three years.
Trey Research must meet the following technical requirements for virtualization:

Provide redundancy if a single server fails.
Security Requirements
A new corporate security policy states that only Enterprise Administrators are allowed to interactively log on to servers.
User Requirements
Users report that it is difficult to locate files in the shared folders across the network. The users want a single point of access for all of the shared folders in the company.
Testlet: Proseware, Inc
You need to recommend a solution to provision new applications on the VMs for the planned virtual desktop pool deployment.

Prevent the VMs from receiving the Automatic Updates settings from GPO2.
Ensure that only the host VM is affected if a virtual hard disk (VHD) file becomes corrupt.
Minimize the amount of storage used to support the VMs.
Minimize the amount of memory and CPU resources used by the VMs.
Minimize administrative effort.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
All servers run either Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. All of the client computers in the main office run Windows 7. All of the client computers in the branch office run Windows XP (x86) with Service Pack 3 (SP3).
All of the client computers in the main office are configured as Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Visualization (MED-V) and Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) clients.
A two-node Hyper-V cluster is deployed in the main office. The cluster uses Clustered Shared Volumes.
Existing Active Directory/Directory Services
The network contains a single Active Directory domain named proseware.com. The functional level of the forest is Windows Server 2008.
The relevant organizational units (OUs) for the domain are configured as shown in the following table.
A custom Group Policy object (GPO) named GPO1 is linked to the domain, GPO1 contains corporate computer security settings.
A custom GPO named GPO2 is linked to both office OUs. GPO2 contains Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) settings.
Existing Network Infrastructure
Each office has servers that have the following server roles or role services installed:

When users logs off, they must lose the administrator rights.
The disk space on all file servers must be monitored. If any file server has less than 20% free disk space on a volume, a script must run that deletes temporary files.
Problem Statements
The main office has a shared folder named Legal. The Legal share is only accessed by users in the legal department. Legal department users report that it takes a long time to locate files in the Legal share by using keyword searches.
