You work as a Network Administrator for Tech Perfect Inc. The company has a Windows Server 2008 domain-based network. All servers on the network run Windows Server 2008 R2. A client computer on a network runs Windows Vista Ultimate. You are about to upgrade the computer to Windows 7 Enterprise edition. Before upgrade, you want to migrate all users’ profiles and their files to a computer running Windows 7. Before starting your planned migration, you want to ensure that there is sufficient hard disk space available. Both computers are connected to the domain. Which of the following steps will you take to identify how much space is required to complete the migration?
A.
Run the Scanstate C:\sizeestimate /nocompress /p command on the Windows 7 computer.
B.
Run the Scanstate C:\sizeestimate /p command on the Windows 7 computer.
C.
Run the Scanstate C:\sizeestimate /p command on the Windows Vista computer.
D.
Run the Scanstate C:\sizeestimate /nocompress /p command on the Windows Vista computer.
Explanation:
As you have to migrate user profiles and data from the Vista computer, it is for sure that you will have to estimate the size on that computer only. In order to identify the space requirement for the migration, you will have to run the Scanstate command with the /p switch on the computer that is running Vista. The /p switch generates a space-estimate file called Usmtsize.txt that is saved to the path you specified. This option does not collect the user state. You must also specify /nocompress switch. The /nocompress switch disables compression of data which is enabled by default. Answer A is incorrect. There is no need to run the command on the Windows 7 computer. Answer C and B are incorrect. These steps do not include the /nocompress switch. Using this switch is must with the /p switch to accomplish the task.
