Q5. Your network contains two Active Directory forests named contoso.com and litwareinc.com.
You implement System Center 2012 Configuration Manager in the contoso.com forest.
You deploy the Configuration Manager client to all of the client computers in contoso.com
by using a logon script.
You need to ensure that the Configuration Manager client is automatically deployed to all of
the client computers in the litwareinc.com forest.
What should you do? (Choose all that Apply.)
A. Configure a Client Push Installation account.
B. Enable Client Push installation.
C. Enable Active Directory System Discovery.
D. Configure an administrative user.
E. Enable Active Directory Forest Discovery.
Answer: A,B,E
Explanation:
E: In this scenario there are two forests. Active Directory Forest Discovery can discover Active Directory sites and subnets, and then create Configuration Manager boundaries for each site and subnet from the forests that you have configured for discovery. When Active Directory Forest Discovery identifies a supernet that is assigned to an Active Directory site, Configuration Manager converts the supernet into an IP address range boundary.
DE: Use client push installation to install the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager client software on computers that Configuration Manager discovered. You can configure client push installation for a site, and client installation will automatically run on the computers that are discovered within the site's configured boundaries when those boundaries are configured as a boundary group. To configure the site to automatically use client push for discovered computers
In the Configuration Manager console, click.Administration.
In the.Administration.workspace, expand.Site Configuration, and then click.Sites.
In the.Sites.list, select the site for which you want to configure automatic site-wide
client push installation.
On the.Home.tab, in the.Settings.group, click.Client Installation Settings, and then
click.Client Push Installation.
(B)
On the.General.tab of the.Client Push Installation Properties.dialog box, select.Enable automatic site-wide client push installation. Select the system types to which System.Center.2012 Configuration.Manager should push the client software by selecting.Servers,.Workstations, or.Configuration Manager site system servers. The default selection is.Servers.andWorkstations. Select whether you want automatic site-wide client push installation to install the System.Center.2012 Configuration.Manager client software on domain controllers.
(A)
On the.Accounts.tab, specify one or more accounts for System.Center.2012 Configuration.Manager to use when connecting to the computer to install the client software. Click the.Create.icon, enter the.User name.and.Password, confirm the password, and then click.OK. You must specify at least one client push installation account, which must have local administrator rights on every computer on which you want to install the client. If you do not specify a client push installation account, System.Center.2012 Configuration.Manager tries to use the site system computer account, which will cause cross-domain client push to fail.

Explanation:
How to Extend Hardware Inventory in Configuration Manager
System Center 2012 Configuration Manager hardware inventory reads information about devices by using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI is the Microsoft implementation of web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM), which is an industry standard for accessing management information in an enterprise environment.
In previous versions of Configuration Manager, you could extend hardware inventory by modifying the file sms_def.mof on the site server.
In System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you no longer edit the sms_def.mof file as you did in Configuration Manager 2007. Instead, you can enable and disable WMI classes, and add new classes to collect by hardware inventory by using client settings.
Configuration Manager provides the following methods to extend hardware inventory:
Enable or disable existing inventory classes - You can enable or disable the default inventory classes used by Configuration Manager or you can create custom client settings that allow you to collect different hardware inventory classes from specified collections of clients.
Add a new inventory class - You can add a new inventory class from the WMI namespace of another device.
Import and export hardware inventory classes - You can import and export Managed Object Format (MOF) files that contain inventory classes from the Configuration Manager console.
Create NOIDMIF Files - Use NOIDMIF files to collect information about client devices that cannot be inventoried by Configuration Manager.
Create IDMIF Files - Use IDMIF files to collect information about assets in your organization that are not associated with a Configuration Manager client, for example, projectors, photocopiers and network printers.
