You deploy a Windows 8 image to a reference computer.
You sign in to the reference computer by using the built-in administrator account and you modify the user environment.
You need to deploy the image to several client computers. The image must contain the profile of the built-in administrator account as the default user profile.
Which two actions should you perform before you capture the image? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A. Create an answer file that contains the Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup settings.
B. Run dism.exe /image.
C. Run sysprep.exe /generalize /mode:vm.
D. Run dism.exe /apply-unattend:unattend.xml.
E. Create an answer file that contains the Microsoft-Windows-SetupUserData settings.
F. Run sysprep.exe /audit /unattend:unattend.xml.
G. Run sysprep.exe /generalize/unattend:unattend.xml.
Correct Answer: EG
Explanation/Reference:
E: Use the following procedure (not displayed below) to create an answer file to instruct Sysprep to copy user profile settings when you generalize the Windows image.
* (G) On the reference computer, open an elevated command prompt, and then type this command:
C:WindowsSystem32SysprepSysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend: F:CopyProfile.xml
where F is the letter of the USB flash drive or other removable media. The Sysprep tool removes computer-specific information from the image, while preserving the user profile settings that you configured.
Note:
You can use the CopyProfile setting to customize a user profile and then copy that profile to the default user profile. Windows® uses the default user profile as a template to assign a profile to each new user. By customizing the default user profile, you can configure settings for all user accounts that are created on the computer. By using CopyProfile, you can customize installed applications, drivers, desktop backgrounds, internet explorer settings, and other configurations. Note that some settings are not preserved by using CopyProfile.
