What are the design improvements that make Windows Vista easier to install? The design improvements in Windows Vista and Windows Vista deployment are all designed to make the installation of Windows Vista easier to manage. These improvements include: Modularization Windows Imaging Format XML-based answer files Installation scripts File and registry redirection PTS: 1 REF: 42 2. What are the new and improved tools and technologies for deployment included in Windows Vista? To manage and use the design improvements in Windows Vista deployment, you must have certain required tools and technologies. Some of the tools are updated versions of tools that were available for previous versions of Windows. Other tools are brand new and created to take advantage of new technologies. The new and improved tools and technologies for deployment included in Windows Vista are: Application Compatibility Toolkit User State Migration Tool ImageX Windows System Image Manager Windows PE Windows Deployment Services PTS: 1 REF: 43 3. What tasks can be accomplished with ImageX?
ImageX is a new command-line tool for managing WIM images. ImageX is included in the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK), a collection of utilities and documentation for automating the deployment of Windows Vista. You can use ImageX to: Create images that include applications Split images into multiple files Compress images Mount images to a folder for adding or removing files PTS: 1 REF: 44 4. What are the most common Windows Vista installation methods? Windows Vista supports a number of different installation methods. Which method you choose varies depending on the number of computers in your organization, the speed of your network, and the level of customization that is required. The three most common installation methods for Windows Vista are: CD boot installation Distribution share installation Image-based installation PTS: 1 REF: 45 5. What are the operating systems from which Windows Vista is designed to migrate user settings, files, and applications? Not all operating systems, or versions, can be upgraded to Windows Vista. Windows Vista is designed only to migrate user settings, files, and applications from the following operating systems: Windows XP Professional to Windows Vista Business or Ultimate. Windows XP Media Center to Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate. Windows XP Tablet PC to Windows Vista Business or Ultimate. Windows XP Home to Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate editions. Windows Vista. PTS: 1 REF: 48 6. What purposes are dual booting typically required for? Dual booting is typically required for two purposes: Using unsupported applications Some older custom applications are not written in a way that is compatible with newer versions of Windows. The security in newer versions of Windows stops them from running properly. If you require an application that can only be run using Windows NT, then you may want to perform a dual boot of your computer between Windows NT and Windows Vista. You would boot into Windows NT only to run the specific application that is not supported in Windows Vista.
Keeping configuration data separate Sometimes network administrators and developers have a dual boot installation for testing purposes. One installation is used as a standard operating system for performing daily tasks, and the other operating system is used for testing new service packs, drivers, or software. This ensures that the new test software does not affect their daily work if it is unstable. PTS: 1 REF: 50 7. What can be migrated with Windows Easy Transfer? Windows Easy Transfer can migrate: User accounts Only local user accounts are migrated. If the computer is part of a domain, then local user accounts are typically not used. Folders and files Includes My Documents and other specified locations. Program settings Includes program settings from the registry. Internet settings and favorites Includes all of the Internet Options from Internet Explorer and favorites. E-mail settings, contacts, and messages Includes configuration settings for Outlook Express or Outlook, address books, and files storing mail messages. PTS: 1 REF: 52 8. What is the windowspe configuration pass used for? The windowspe configuration pass is used at the start of the installation to: Partition and format the hard disk before installing Windows Vista. Including this information ensures that you do not need to manually partition and format the hard disk before installing Windows Vista. Specify a specific Windows image to install. Specify credentials for accessing the Windows image. This is useful when accessing the Windows image from a network share. Specify the local partition to install Windows Vista on. Specify a product key, computer name, and administrator account name. Run specific commands during Windows Setup. PTS: 1 REF: 62 9. List and describe the two folders contained in a distribution share for updating drivers. A distribution share contains two folders for updating drivers: $OEM$ The drivers located in this folder are used during the initial setup of Windows Vista when Setup.exe is run from installation DVD or a distribution share. These drivers will be available for Windows when plug and play hardware is detected. Out-of-Box Drivers The drivers located in this folder can be used either during the WindowsPE configuration pass or the auditsystem configuration pass. The WindowsPE configuration pass is performed for all unattended installations where WindowsPE is used to run Setup.exe. The auditsystem configuration pass is only performed when the Sysprep utility is used to prepare images. Adding drivers during the auditsystem configuration pass allows you to add drivers to an existing Windows image without running Setup.exe from the installation DVD or a distribution share. PTS: 1 REF: 65
10. Briefly describe the overall steps of the imaging process. The overall imaging process is as follows: 1. Install and configure Windows Vista and applications on a source workstation. 2. Use Sysprep to generalize the source workstation for imaging. 3. Boot the source workstation using WindowsPE. 4. Use ImageX to capture the image from the source workstation and store it in a distribution share. 5. On the destination workstation, use WindowsPE to connect to the distribution share. 6. Use ImageX to apply the image in the distribution share to the destination workstation. PTS: 1 REF: 70
