Testlet: Blue Yonder Airlines
You need to recommend a solution for managing the public computers in the branch offices.
What should you recommend?
Case Study Title (Case Study): COMPANY OVERVIEW
Blue Yonder Airlines has a main office and four branch offices. Each branch office has six satellite offices. The main office is located in Sydney. The branch offices are located in London, New York, Bangkok, and Istanbul. The main office has 1,000 users. Each branch office has 500 users. Each satellite office has 50 to 100 users.
PLANNED CHANGES
Each satellite office will have a single server deployed. The servers will have the following server roles installed:
File server
Print server
Read-only Domain Controller (RODC)
Each satellite office will have a local support technician who performs the following tasks:
Manages printers.
Manages server backups.
Manages updates on the server.
Each support technician will only be permitted to manage the server located in his office.
You plan to implement a backup and recovery solution to restore deleted Active Directory objects. The solution must ensure that the attributes of the deleted objects are restored to the same state they were in before they were deleted.
You plan to deploy a custom sales application named App2 to the portable computers of all company sales consultants. The setup program of App2 requires local administrative privileges. App2 will be updated monthly.
BUSINESS GOALS
Blue Yonder Airlines has the following business goals:
Minimize server downtime.
Minimize administrative effort.
Minimize interruptions to users caused by WAN link failures.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The network contains servers that run either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2008. All client computers were recently replaced with new computers that run Windows 7 Enterprise.
Users do not have local administrator rights on the client computers.
Existing Active Directory/Directory Services
The network contains a single Active Directory domain named blueyonderairlines.com. The functional level of the domain is Windows Server 2008. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2008.
Existing Network Infrastructure
All offices have wired and wireless networks.
The main office has a file server that stores large graphics files. The files are used by all of the users in all of the offices.
A Group Policy is used to assign an application named App1 to all of the users in the domain.
The branch offices contain public computers on which temporary employees can browse the Internet and view electronic brochures. When the employees log on to the public computers, they must all receive the same user settings.
App1 must not be installed on the public computers. The computer accounts for all of the public computers are in an organizational unit (OU) name Public.
REQUIREMENTS Security Requirements
All computers in the domain must have a domain-level security Group Policy object (GPO) applied.
You plan to implement Network Access Protection (NAP) by using switches and wireless access points (WAPs) as NAP enforcement points.
The public computers must meet the following security requirements:
Only authorized applications must be run.
Automatic updates must be enabled and applied automatically.
Users must be denied access to the local hard disk drives and the network shares from the public computers.
Technical Requirements
The file server in each branch office is configured as shown in the following table.
Each user is allocated 1 GB of storage on the Users share in their local office.
Each user must be prevented from storing files larger than 500 MB on the Data share in their local office.
Blue Yonder Airlines must meet the following requirements for managing App2:
Sales consultants must use the latest version of the application.
When a new version of App2 is installed, the previous version must be uninstalled. Sales consultants must be able to run App2 when they are disconnected from the network.
A. Create a GPO that is linked to the domain and configure security filtering for the GPO.
B. Create a GPO that is linked to the Public OU and enable loopback processing in the GPO.
C. Create a GPO that is linked to the Public OU and configure security filtering for the GPO.
D. Create a GPO that is linked to the domain and enable block inheritance on the Public OU.

GROUP POLICY LOOPBACK PROCESSING
The User Group Policy loopback processing mode policy setting is an advanced option that is intended to keep the configuration of the computer the same regardless of who logs on. This option is appropriate in certain closely managed environments, such as servers, terminal servers, classrooms, public kiosks, and reception areas. Setting the loopback processing mode policy setting applies the same user settings for any user who logs onto the computer, based on the computer.
When you apply Group Policy objects to users, normally the same set of user policy settings applies to those users when they log on to any computer. By enabling the loopback processing policy setting in a GPO, you can configure user policy settings based on the computer that they log on to. Those settings are applied regardless of which user logs on. When you use this option, you must ensure that both the computer and user portions of the GPO are enabled.
You can set the loopback policy in the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in by using the User Group Policy loopback processing mode policy setting under Computer Settings\Administrative settings\System\Group Policy. Two options are available:
Merge mode: In this mode, the list of GPOs for the user is gathered during the logon process. Then, the list of GPOs for the computer is gathered. Next, the list of GPOs for the computer is added to the end of the GPOs for the user. As a result, the computer's GPOs have higher precedence than the user's GPOs.
Replace mode: In this mode, the list of GPOs for the user is not gathered. Instead, only the list of GPOs based on the computer object is used. The User Configuration settings from this list are applied to the user.
