Contoso, Ltd. is private company that has 2,000 employees. Contoso has a main office and two
branch offices. The main office is located in Seattle. The branch offices are located in Los Angeles
and New York City.
Existing Environment
Active Directory
The network contains one Active Directory forest named contoso.com. A child domain named
dev.contoso.com is used for development and testing purposes. An Active Directory site with
corresponding IP subnets exists for each location.
Network Infrastructure
The Seattle office has approximately 1,000 users and 1,000 client computers. The New York City
and Los Angeles offices each have approximately 500 users and 500 client computers. Some of
the computers run Windows 7 Enterprise. The remaining computers run Windows 8 Enterprise.
The Seattle office tests 100 Microsoft Surface RT devices.
All servers in the forest run Windows Server 2012 R2. The contoso.com domain contains the

servers shown in the following table.

Update Infrastructure
The existing update infrastructure has the following characteristics:
– WSUS01 is configured as the parent upstream update server for WSUS02
and WSUS03.
– A server named WSUS04 is located in an isolated test network that is
not connected to the production network. WSUS04 has WSUS installed.
Configuration Management Infrastructure
The existing configuration management infrastructure has the following characteristics:
– Automatic software metering rule generation is enabled and has the
default settings configured.
– The Configuration Manager client is installed on all of the client
computers.
– The client status for reporting is scheduled to occur once weekly.
Problem Statements
Developers in the dev.contoso.com domain frequently conduct stress tests on applications. These
tests can last several days. Some developers report that even if they stop System Center-related
services on the test computer before they perform the tests, the services restart during the tests,
and sometimes cause the tests to fail.
Requirements
Planned Changes
Contoso plans to implement the following changes to the application environment:
– A new 64-bit application named App3 will be made available to the client
computers in the Seattle office.
– Infrequently used applications will be uninstalled from all of the
client computers.
– System Center Updates Publisher 2011 will be used to deploy application
updates.
– An application named App4 will be deployed to all users.
– Contoso plans to implement the following changes to the Configuration
Manager environment:
– Each office will have customized Configuration Manager client settings.
– Software metering will be used to monitor and collect client computer
information.
– Client computers that are missing a specific registry setting will be
moved automatically to a collection named Not Configured.
– New client computers in the dev.contoso.com domain will be monitored
for compliance, based on a third-party configuration pack supplied by a
vendor.
– An additional 50 client computers will be added to the dev.contoso.com
domain.
Technical Requirements
Contoso identifies the following technical requirements for the Configuration Manager environment:
– Application updates must be available in all of the offices.
– All of the configuration packs in use must be customizable.
– App4 must be deployed only to the primary device of each user.
– All of the client computers must be inventoried by using custom WMI
classes.
– User device affinity must be automated so that users are associated
automatically to the device they use most.
– The Configuration Manager client must be installed automatically on all
new client computers the first time the computers are authenticated by
the domain.
The management team identifies the following miscellaneous requirements:
– All solutions must minimize administrative effort, whenever possible.
– Surface RT devices must have access to App3.
