You work as a desktop support technician at ABC.com. The ABC.com network consists of a
single Active Directory domain named ABC.com. The ABC.com network contains 120
workstations.
ABC.com is currently in the process of migrating all of its workstations to Windows 7. In
preparation of the migration, you have installed Windows 7 on a computer named ABC-WS680 to
be used as master image.
Before proceeding with the deployment of all the workstations you need to prepare an image of
ABC-WS680, which will be used in deployment to all workstations on the ABC.com network.
Which tool can be used prior to the creation of image on ABC-WS680?
A.
You should consider running the System Preparation tool (Sysprep).
B.
You should consider installing the Remote Installation Services (RIS).
C.
You should consider disabling the System Protection settings.
D.
You should consider running the Windows Deployment Services (WDS).
Explanation:
Sysprep is used to prepare the image to be installed on other machines. Sysprep
will remove the SID, Reset the Activation to 30 days, add an answer file if desired and reset the
install to an “Out-Of-The-Box” experience.
Any method of moving a Windows image to a new computer, either through imaging, hard disk
duplication, or other method, must be prepared with the sysprep /generalize command. Moving or
copying a Windows image to a different computer without running the Sysprep /generalize
command is not supported.
The following command-line options are available for Sysprep:
sysprep.exe [/oobe | /audit] [/generalize] [/reboot | /shutdown | /quit] [/quiet] [/unattend:answerfile]
