A system administrator is configuring a corporate network installation to deploy a customized Windows operating system image to target computers located on a different IP subnet than the deployment server. To ensure the reference image can be safely cloned to multiple workstations without SID conflicts and that target computers can successfully locate and download the network bootloader, which of the following actions MUST be performed? (Select TWO.)
- Run the sysprep.exe utility with the /generalize switch on the reference computer prior to image capture.Answer
- Configure DHCP Option 66 and DHCP Option 67 on the local subnet's DHCP server.Answer
- CRun the sfc /scannow command on client workstations to enable network bootloader configuration parameters.
- DPerform an in-place OS upgrade on the reference workstation to automatically remove user accounts and reset SIDs before capture.
Answer
The correct actions are running the sysprep.exe utility with the /generalize switch on the reference machine before image capture, and configuring DHCP Option 66 alongside DHCP Option 67 on the local DHCP server.
Preparing a reference computer with sysprep.exe /generalize removes unique SIDs and system-specific data so the captured WIM image can be deployed to multiple target computers. Additionally, configuring DHCP Options 66 (TFTP server hostname/IP) and 67 (bootfile name) provides PXE clients on remote subnets with the necessary parameters to locate the network installation server and initiate boot.
