You have a computer that runs Windows 7.
You need to configure the computer to meet the following requirements:
– Generate a new security ID (SID) when the computer starts.
– Ensure that the Welcome screen appears when the computer starts.
What should you do?
A . Run Sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize.
B . Run Sysprep.exe /audit /generalize.
C . Run Msconfig.exe and select Selective startup.
D . Run Msconfig.exe and select Diagnostic startup.
Answer: A
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:windowssystem32sysprepsysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdown 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.
/generalize
Prepares the Windows installation to be imaged. If you specify this option, all unique system information is removed from the Windows installation. The SID is reset, system restore points are cleared, and event logs are deleted. The next time the computer starts, the specialize configuration pass runs. A new SID is created, and the clock for Windows activation resets (unless the clock has already been reset three times).
/oobe
Restarts the computer in Windows Welcome mode. Windows Welcome enables users to customize their Windows 7 operating system, create user accounts, and name the computer. Any settings in the
oobeSystem
configuration pass in an answer file are processed immediately before Windows Welcome starts.
