Answer: C

Explanation:

How Microsoft uses Delivery Optimization

At Microsoft, to help ensure that ongoing deployments weren’t affecting our network and taking away

bandwidth for other services, Microsoft IT used a couple of different bandwidth management strategies. Delivery Optimization, peer-to-peer caching enabled through Group Policy, was piloted and then deployed to all managed devices using Group Policy. Based on recommendations from the Delivery Optimization team, we used the "group" configuration to limit sharing of content to only the devices that are members of the same Active Directory domain. The content is cached for 24 hours. More than 76 percent of content came from peer devices versus the Internet.

Note: Delivery Optimization options

You can use Group Policy or an MDM solution like Intune to configure Delivery Optimization.

Summary of Delivery Optimization settings

* Maximum foreground download bandwidth (percentage) DOPercentageMaxForegroundBandwidth

* Maximum background download bandwidth (percentage) DOPercentageMaxBackgroundBandwidth

* Etc.

Note 2: Policies to prioritize the use of Peer-to-Peer and Cache Server sources

When Delivery Optimization client is configured to use peers and Microsoft Connected Cache (MCC), to achieve the best possible content delivery experience, the client will connect to both MCC and peers in parallel. If the desired content can’t be obtained from MCC or peers, Delivery Optimization will automatically fallback to the HTTP source to get the requested content. There are four settings that allow you to prioritize peer-to-peer or MCC sources by delaying the immediate fallback to HTTP source which is the default behavior.

Not D: Update rings for Windows 10 and later policy in Intune

Create update rings that specify how and when Windows as a Service updates your Windows 10/11 devices with feature and quality updates. With Windows 10/11, new feature and quality updates include the contents of all previous updates. As long as you’ve installed the latest update, you know your Windows devices are up to date. Unlike with previous versions of Windows, you now must install the entire update instead of part of an update.
