21-24 Chapter 21 Installing Windows XP Professional (1.0)
Objective 1.2 Answers
1. Correct Answers: C
A. Incorrect: When using disk imaging to deploy Windows XP Professional, you do
not need to create UDF files.
B. Incorrect: RIS is another possible approach to deploying multiple computers,
but you have already proposed using disk images. Copying the images to the disk
drives of the new computers does not require RIS. In this scenario, non-Microsoft
tools are used for distribution.
C. Correct: Before you create an image of the reference computer, you must use
SysPrep to remove security and user information unique to the system. SysPrep
erases the computer’s name, its globally unique identifier (GUID), and all other
settings that might cause problems if they appear on multiple computers on the
same network.
D. Incorrect: RIS is another possible approach to deploying multiple computers,
but you have already proposed using disk images. Copying the images to the disk
drives of the new computers does not require RIS or PXE-enabled network cards.
Additionally, the entire computer needs to be PXE-compliant, not just the network
cards. Merely installing PXE-enabled network cards into a computer does not
guarantee that it will be able to boot directly from the network. In this scenario,
non-Microsoft tools are used for distribution.
2. Correct Answers: A, B, and D
A. Correct: With Setup Manager, you can create UDF files that can be used in conjunction
with answer files. The settings in a UDF file take precedence over those
in an answer file. You can specify unique values for many settings such as computer
names so that each computer deployed has a distinct name.
B. Correct: Setup Manager can create or modify answer files that can contain all the
settings listed. An answer file is a customized script used to run an unattended
installation of Windows XP Professional.
C. Incorrect: Setup Manager cannot automate the installation of any version of
Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 on its own. You can use Setup Manager
to launch other programs and scripts, but you have to create an automated installation
for Office Professional Edition 2003 by following the instructions included
in the Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit.
D. Correct: With Setup Manager, you can create UDF files that can be used in conjunction
with answer files. The settings in a UDF file take precedence over those
in an answer file. You can specify unique values for many settings, such as the
password for the Local Administrator account.
