Your company uses Windows Deployment Services (WDS) to deploy Windows 7.
You create a new image of Windows 7.
You need to ensure that you can deploy the image by using WDS.
What should you do?
A. From the Windows Deployment Services snap-in, add a new install image.
B. From the Windows Deployment Services snap-in, add a new boot image.
C. Run Oscdimg.exe and specify the -boot parameter. Copy the image to C:remoteinstallboot.
D. Run Imagex.exe and specify the /append parameter. Copy the image to C:remoteinstallimages.

Explanation:
Windows Deployment Services
WDS provides a PXE-booted version of Windows PE. A WDS image is contained in a WIM file and is booted over the network into a RAMDisk. The installation then proceeds under Windows PE. The process of capturing a WIM image into a WDS server is similar to the use of ImageX and Sysprep except that the last step involves booting into the WDS capture image. This is a Windows PE image that helps you capture a client system to the WDS server. WDS is relatively lightweight compared to other image deployment methods such as MDT and provides a method that can be faster than an optical media-based installation of Windows. You use WDS images to deploy system files to client computers. A number of image files exist; for example, you use a capture image to create an install image.
Install Image
An install image is an operating system image that you deploy to the client computer. Typically, this is a WIM file.
Boot Image
A boot image is a Windows PE image into which you boot a client before you install the WIM image file. To install Windows 7, you first boot the computer into the boot image, and then you select the install image to install. Unless you are using a reference computer and adding applications to the image, you should use the standard boot image that is included on the Windows 7 installation media (Install.wim). Capture and discover images are types of boot images. (need install image not boot)
NOT Oscdimg
Oscdimg is a command-line tool for creating an image file (.iso) of a customized 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows PE. You can then burn that .iso file to a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. Oscdimg supports ISO 9660, Joliet, and Universal Disk Format (UDF) file systems. (-boot : need install image not boot)
NOT Imagex
ImageX is a command-line tool that enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and corporations to capture, to modify, and to apply file-based disk images for rapid deployment. ImageX works with Windows image (.wim) files for copying to a network, or it can work with other technologies that use .wim images, such as Windows Setup, Windows Deployment Services (Windows DS), and the System Management Server (SMS) Operating
System Feature Deployment Pack.
/append
Appends a volume image to an existing Windows image (.wim) file. Creates a single instance of the file, comparing it against the resources that already exist in the .wim file, so you do not capture the same file twice.
