A computer running Microsoft Windows XP has been validated as genuine through the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) program. You want to ensure that security updates are applied automatically without your intervention.
What is the minimum physical configuration requirement for supporting automatic Windows updates?
1. >>The computer must have as-needed access to the Internet.
2. The computer must have full-time access to the Internet.
3. The computer must be deployed as part of a Windows-based network.
4. The computer must be deployed as part of a Windows Active Directory domain.
Explanation : The computer must have as-needed access to the Internet. The computer downloads updates from a Web site maintained by Microsoft. You can configure the computer running Windows XP to automatically download and apply the updates without any operator interaction.
It is not necessary for the computer to have full-time access to the Internet. The computer must connect to the Internet whenever it downloads updates from the Windows Update site, but a full-time connection is not required. An as-needed connection, such as a dial-up connection, is sufficient.
It is not necessary to deploy the computer as part of any type of network, including a Windows-based network or Windows Active Directory domain. While it is possible to configure updates through a network-based server, it is not a requirement. Windows updates are also supported for stand-alone computers (or networked computers) connecting directly to the Windows Update site to download updates.
