Objective 3.5 Manage and Troubleshoot Drivers and Driver Signing
23-33
C. Correct: Although Windows Update is the simplest way to update device drivers,
it requires access to the Web, might not have the most recent version of drivers,
and does not offer drivers for all hardware vendors.
D. Incorrect: Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provides a management
infrastructure for monitoring and controlling system resources. The WMI
Control console is used for configuring and controlling the WMI service; it is not
used for managing device drivers.
E. Incorrect: The System Information tool shows detailed information about the
installed hardware and software and the allocation of system resources; it does not
have the capability to update device drivers.
F. Incorrect: The Add Hardware Wizard is used to install new hardware devices
and to troubleshoot existing devices. It is not used to update drivers for existing
devices.
4. Correct Answers: C
A. Incorrect: Winmsd.exe launches the Help And Support Services tool, which provides
useful information about the system’s configuration. Although this tool cannot
be used to find unsigned drivers, it can be used to launch the File Signature
Verification tool. To launch this tool, select File Signature Verification Utility from
the Tools menu.
B. Incorrect: Running the Fsutil.exe command-line utility is useful for modifying
aspects of the file system. However, this tool cannot be used to verify driver signatures.
C. Correct: Sigverif.exe is the correct command to launch the File Signature Verification
utility. This tool can also be launched from the System Information program
located in the Start menu in the folder called All Programs\Accessories\System
Tools.
D. Incorrect: The Regedit.exe command launches the Registry Editor, which is used
to modify system configuration parameters. It cannot be used to verify driver signatures.
5. Correct Answers: A and C
A. Correct: Driverquery.exe is a command-line tool that lists drivers installed on a
Windows XP computer. Because it is a command-line tool, you can conveniently
redirect the output to a text file, which is useful for sending the drivers to technical
support.
B. Incorrect: The driver verifier is very useful for verifying driver signatures. It cannot,
however, produce a list of drivers installed on the computer. Instead, it is
capable only of listing unsigned drivers.
