Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a
server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2008 R2.
You plan to test Windows Server 2012 R2 by using native-boot virtual hard disks (VHDs).
You attach a new VHD to Server1.
You need to install Windows Server 2012 R2 in the VHD.
What should you do?
A.
Run imagex.exe and specify the /append parameter.
B.
Run dism.exe and specify the /apply-image parameter.
C.
Run imagex.exe and specify the /export parameter.
D.
Run dism.exe and specify the /append-image parameter.
Explanation:
On the destination computer, you will create a structure for the partitions where you apply your
images. The partition structure on the destination computer must match the partition structure of
the reference computer. If you apply an image to a volume with an existing Windows installation,
files from the previous installation may not be deleted. Format the volume by using a tool such as
DiskPart before applying the new image.
Anser is D,
D. Run dism.exe and specify the /append-image parameter.
The answer is correct.
Option: /Apply-Image – Applies an image to a specified drive
Option: /Append-Image – This command-line option does not apply to virtual hard disk (VHD) files

True
I Also believe the answer given is correct.
To use the DISM tool to apply images to your Windows partition.
run
Dism /apply-image /imagefile:N:\Images\my-windows-partition.wim /index:1 /ApplyDir:C:\
Where C: is the partition on the given VHD
Append a volume image to an existing image. For example, you can append an image of the D drive to an existing image called my-windows-partition.wim.
Dism /Append-Image /ImageFile:c:\my-windows-partition.wim /CaptureDir:D:\ /Name:Drive-D
Just cause its fun: The given answer is correct! 😀
