10. You want to simplify the configuration and management of TCP/IP clients on your net-work, which consists of 300 Windows XP Professional machines, 12 Windows Server 2003machines, and 23 printers on four subnets.Which of the following solutions best suitsyour needs? A. Implement WINS using APIPA. Provide at least one DNS server for each WINSserver.B. Implement DHCP to provide assigned IP address leases and scope properties thatcontain the necessary host resolution methods, the IP address of the default gateway,and the DNS servers.C. Implement AD integrated DNS and WINS and configure WINS to do reverselookups.D. Provide thorough documentation for each client to manually configure its IP addresswith a valid subnet mask and DNS server.B. DHCP is the default option for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003; therefore,if you implemented DHCP, you would need to maintain only the DHCP server. All theclients would automatically obtain the configuration from DHCP.A, C, D. Answer A is incorrect because APIPA is suitable for only small networks. Itdoesn’t provide a default gateway or support DNS, which is used for host name resolu-tion.WINS is used for NetBIOS name resolution, but requires that the client be con-figured with the WINS server IP address, which is not part of APIPA. Answer C isincorrect because AD does not assign IP addresses. Answer D is incorrect because itrequires manual configuration of every client machine on the network, which is proneto mistakes and not centrally managed.
