Microsoft 365 Certified Endpoint Administrator (MD-102) Practice Test

To efficiently manage software updates for devices during deployment, what should be integrated during the task sequence process?

1. Manual update installations after deployment.

2. Integration with application management tools.

3. Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for updates.

4. Local update downloads on each device.

The correct answer is: Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for updates.

Integrating Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for updates during the task sequence process is essential for efficient management of software updates in a deployment scenario. WSUS allows organizations to centrally manage and distribute updates released by Microsoft, ensuring that devices receive the appropriate patches and updates as part of the deployment process. By utilizing WSUS, administrators can automate the process of downloading updates, thereby reducing bandwidth usage and simplifying the update management tasks for individual devices. Incorporating WSUS into the task sequence means that updates can be applied at the time of deployment, rather than requiring manual intervention later on. This seamless integration helps maintain device compliance and security from the very beginning of the device lifecycle. It allows for control over which updates are deployed to the devices, ensures that only tested updates are rolled out, and provides reporting capabilities to track update compliance across the deployed devices. Using manual update installations after deployment would be inefficient and prone to error, as it could lead to inconsistencies in update application across devices. Integration with application management tools, while beneficial for handling software installations, does not specifically address the need for system updates provided through WSUS. Local update downloads on each device may lead to unnecessary consumption of bandwidth and storage, increasing the complexity of update management without the centralized control
