Question of the Day for the MCITP 70-622 Exam: Supporting and Troubleshooting Applications on a Windows Vista Client for Enterprise Support Technicians

Show Question

You are the IT administrator in charge of new desktop deployments for your company. You have created an image file complete with custom drivers, a product key, and an answer file stored in a directory called Deploy on a file server. You have a Windows Vista DVD along with a Windows PE 2.0 CD. You need to identify the correct steps involved in properly deploying an image with an Unattend.xml file.

What should you do?

A. Copy the answer file to a UFD device. Start the computers with the Windows Vista DVD and the UFD device plugged in.

B. Create a share for the Deploy directory on the file server. Start the computers with the Windows Vista DVD and the UFD device plugged in.

C. Create a share for the Deploy directory on the file server. Copy the answer file to a blank UFD device AutoUnattend.xml. Start the computers with the Windows PE 2.0 CD. Use Diskpart.exe to create the necessary partitions. Use ImageX to acquire the image file from the remote share and restart the computer.

D. Create a share for the Deploy directory on the file server. Copy the answer file to a blank UFD device. Start the computers with the Windows PE 2.0 CD. Use Diskpart.exe to create the necessary partitions. Use ImageX to acquire the image file from the remote share and restart the computer.

E. Create a share for the Deploy directory on the file server. Stage the answer file in the image .WIM file. Start the computers with the Windows PE 2.0 CD. Use Diskpart.exe to create the necessary partitions. Use ImageX to acquire the image file from the remote share and restart the computer.

Answer C is correct. Starting the computer with a Windows PE 2.0 disk and using DiskPart to create the partitions are necessary steps to deploy a custom image. The answer file on the UFD device is found during the initial Windows Vista Setup process. Using ImageX is necessary to acquire the image onto the computer. Deploying the default Windows Vista image on the DVD does not deploy an image with the required custom drivers. The Windows Vista DVD does not help in deploying an image located on a share on a remote server. Starting the Windows Vista Setup process with a file named Unattend.xml would normally not work. But because our image was prepared already and the partitions on the system have been completed, you are able to use a file named Unattend.xml because this file is acceptable beginning at the specialize configuration phase. Starting the computer imaged with ImageX and partitioned with Diskpart.exe, along with a properly staged answer file in the image, successfully finishes the Windows configuration phases left in Windows Vista Setup unattended.
