What is the installation method that involves deploying directly on individual devices?

• A. Remote Installation
• B. Group Policy
• C. Discovery Computers
• D. Local Installation

Answer: (D)

This question focuses on how software is installed on endpoints. Local installation means you install the software directly on each computer itself—running the installer on that device (via physical media, a downloaded setup, or a local copy). It does not rely on pushing the installation from a central server or using management policies. This method is straightforward for a small number of machines or devices that aren’t on a network path to a central deployment, but it can be time-consuming if you’re dealing with many endpoints.

In contrast, remote installation pushes the installer from a central console to target machines over the network, Group Policy deploys software across Windows machines via Active Directory, and discovery computers is about identifying devices on the network so they can be managed later. Local installation is the choice when you deploy directly on individual devices.
