A company wants a new software program installed on all company computers, including remote employees' machines. Which of the following methods should the IT department use to remotely deploy the software?
Correct Answer: B
The correct answer is B. Scripted Deployment.
* Scripted deployment is the most effective method for remotely installing software across multiple devices, including remote employees' machines.
* IT departments commonly use scripting tools like PowerShell, Bash, or batch scripts, along with software deployment solutions like Microsoft SCCM, Intune, or Group Policy.
* This method ensures automation, consistency, and remote execution without requiring physical access to each device.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* A. Clone - Cloning is used to replicate entire system images but is not practical for deploying individual software programs remotely.
* C. In-place - This term typically refers to in-place upgrades or updates to existing software, not new software deployment across multiple machines.
* D. Image - Imaging refers to creating a full system image, including the OS and applications. While useful for deploying new computers, it is not ideal for remotely installing software on existing systems.
