Your network consists of a single Active Directory forest.
You have 50 portable computers and 50 desktop computers. All computers have 32-bit hardware.
You plan to deploy Windows 7 and 10 corporate applications to the computers by using a custom
image.
You need to prepare for the deployment by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
What should you do first?
A.
On one computer, install Windows 7 and the corporate applications.
B.
On one portable computer and one desktop computer, install Windows 7 and the corporate
applications.
C.
On a server, install and run the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit.
D.
On a server, install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) and run Windows System Image
Manager (Windows SIM).
Explanation:
To prepare the reference computer for the user, you use the Sysprep utility with the /generalize
option to remove hardware-specific information from the Windows installation and the /oobe
option to configure the computer to boot to Windows Welcome upon the next restart. Open an
elevated command prompt on the reference computer and run the following command:
c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdown.
Sysprep prepares the image for capture by cleaning up various user-specific and computerspecific
settings, as well as log files. The reference installation now is complete and ready to be imaged.
