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 both desktop and
laptop workstations.
You are responsible for managing a desktop workstation named ABC-WS620. ABC-WS620 is
configured to run Windows Vista. You install Windows 7 on a new partition on ABC-WS620 but
you want Windows Vista to be booted by default on ABC-WS620 instead of Windows 7.
What should you do?
A.
You should consider running Bcdedit.exe and specifying the /default parameter.
B.
You should consider creating a boot.ini file in the root of the Windows 7 partition.
C.
You should consider running MSCONFIG and specifying the /bootOS parameter.
D.
You should consider running bootcfg.exe and specifying the /default parameter.
Explanation:
To modify the boot parameters in Vista and Windows 7, use the command line tool
