You are the systems administrator for your company. The network contains a Windows Essential Business Server 2008 environment. All client computers on the network run Windows XP Professional.
You want to create and deploy a software package to all computers by using System Center Essentials. You want to ensure that the software package contains a response file to deploy the package without requiring user input. You create a new text file that contains all configuration and setup parameters for the software package, and will also be used as a response file.
Which extension should you use to save the response file?
A.
.ini
B.
.inf
C.
.iss
D.
.cfg
Explanation:
You should save the response file with an .iss extension. You can use System Center Essentials to create and deploy software packages to computers that are managed by using System Center Essentials. You can also create a software package that contains a response file to perform a silent installation that does not require user input. To create a response file, you should create a text file that contains configuration and setup parameters for the products and components that are being installed, and save the file with an .iss extension.You should not use .ini, .inf, or .cfg extension to save the response file because a response file used with System Center Essentials must be saved with an .iss extension. The .ini files are simple text files that are used as initialization files or configuration files in Windows operating systems. Sometimes files that use the .ini file format also use a different extension, such as .cfg, .conf, or .txt. The .inf files contain setup information that is used by the Windows operating system for installing software or drivers.
