View Answer

Answer: D

Explanation:

In order to update all systems regularly, you should configure WSUS on the server and connect all the systems to this server.

Windows Server Update Services is an edition of the Microsoft Update service that can be hosted on the private network. WSUS connects to the Windows Update site and downloads information about available updates and adds them to list of updates for administrator approval.

An administrator approves these updates for deployment on computers in the network.

The computers in the network running either Windows Update or Automatic Updates (in earlier versions of Windows) connect to the WSUS server and download the Updates.
