Explanation:
Sysprep
Sysprep is a tool designed for corporate system administrators, OEMs, and others who need to
deploy the Windows® XP operating system on multiple computers. After performing the initial setup
steps on a single system, you can run Sysprep to prepare the sample computer for cloning. Sysprep
prepares the image for capture by cleaning up various user-specific and computer-specific settings,
as well as log files. The reference installation now is complete and ready to be imaged.
NOT Imagex
ImageX is a command-line tool that enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and
corporations to capture, to modify, and to apply file-based disk images for rapid deployment.
ImageX works with Windows image (.wim) files for copying to a network, or it can work with other
technologies that use .wim images, such as Windows Setup, Windows Deployment Services
(Windows DS), and the System Management Server (SMS) Operating System Feature Deployment
Pack.
NOT Dism
Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a command-line tool used to service
Windows® images offline before deployment. You can use it to install, uninstall, configure, and
update Windows features, packages, drivers, and international settings. Subsets of the DISM
servicing commands are also available for servicing a running operating system
NOT Wpeutil
The Windows PE utility (Wpeutil) is a command-line tool that enables you to run various commands
in a Windows PE session. For example, you can shut down or restart Windows PE, enable or disable a
firewall, set language settings, and initialize a network.
