You manage a server that runs Windows Server 2012. The server has the Windows Deployment Services server role installed. You start a virtual machine named
VM1 as shown in the exhibit.
You need to configure a pre-staged device for VM1 in the Windows Deployment Services console. Which two values should you assign to the device ID? (Each
correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)
1. 979708BFC04B45259FE0C4150BB6C618
2. 979708BF-C04B-4525-9FE0-C4150BB6C618
3. 00155D000F1300000000000000000000
4. 0000000000000000000000155D000F13
5. 00000000-0000-0000-0000-C4150BB6C618
Answer: Pending
I read something around: it seems answer is 1 and 4. Link: https://www.windows-noob.com/forums/topic/506-how-can-i-prestage-a-computer-for-wds/
Correct answer is – 2. 979708BF-C04B-4525-9FE0-C4150BB6C618 or 4. 0000000000000000000000155D000F13
Key point here is that questions specifies: ‘… in the Windows Deployment Services console.’
So when we enter GUID with dashes in Windows Deployment Services console, WDS Console will automatically add curly brackets {} in device properties.
When we enter GUID without dashes in Windows Deployment Services console, WDS console does not complain, but GUID will get transposed/changed in device properties after creation, hence leading to GUID mismatch.

The above technet link refers to Windows Server 2008 R2 or earlier as Windows Server 2012 now allows prestaging devices in WDS console unlike previous editions of Windows Server where one would do it in ADUC or in wdsutil command line.
Ive used option 1, 2, and 4. They all worked. But I did hear something that option 1 was to be used (from somewhere) and you had to put twenty 0’s in front of the MAC ID.
2&4
MAC ADDR has no -, fill in the extra space at the start of the address with 0’s. GUID has – so use them when assigning it to the device ID.
(Not 100% on the reasoning here, but this is how I’ll remember it)
5.In the text box, type the client computer’s media access control (MAC) address preceded with twenty zeros or the globally unique identifier (GUID) in the format: {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}.
2 & 4
u can either enter below three:
GUID string
GUID binary octet string
MAC add with ‘0’ at front

Correct answer is 2 and 4 GUID, mac address
2 & 4 are the correct answers.
That being said 1 will also work, but if this question is on the test, the correct answer is 2 & 4.
2 and 4 or 1 and 4,
GUID supports dashes but MAC doesnt.
