You plan to install Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008 on your company’s network. You run the Preparation Wizard to ensure that your environment meets the technical requirements for Windows EBS 2008. Now you want to run the Planning Wizard to collect information about network settings that will be used during the installation of EBS 2008.

What period of time is available for you to run the Planning Wizard to achieve the stated goal?

A.
Within 5 days of completing the Preparation Wizard

B.
Within 10 days of completing the Preparation Wizard

C.
Within 14 days of completing the Preparation Wizard

D.
Within 21 days of completing the Preparation Wizard

Explanation:
You must run the Planning Wizard within 14 days of completing the Preparation Wizard. The Preparation Wizard determines whether your environment meets the technical requirements for EBS 2008. The Preparation Wizard collects information from you about the internal IP address settings for your existing network firewall. You should enter the internal network address of the primary firewall or gateway device in your environment.

The Planning Wizard collects information about the network settings that will be used during the installation of EBS 2008. The Planning Wizard helps you identify what kind of network topology you are using and how best to deploy Windows EBS into that topology. This helps you utilize Windows EBS to monitor and manage servers, network devices, and user accounts throughout your network. You must run each of these wizards before installing EBS 2008. Both the Preparation Wizard and the Planning Wizard must be installed on the same computer. The Planning Wizard must be run within 14 days of completing the Preparation Wizard.

The options stating that you must run the Planning Wizard within 5 days, 10 days, and 21 days are incorrect because the maximum window of time in which you must run the Planning Wizard is 14 days.
