Windows image file. Which of the following will David use to accomplish the task?

A.
Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE)

B.
ImageX

C.
DiskPart

D.
SYSPREP tool

Explanation:
DiskPart is used to mount a virtual hard disk (.vhd) file offline and service it just like a Windows
image file.

A is incorrect. Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) is defined as a 32-bit
operating system that contains limited services. It is built on the Windows Vista kernel and is used to
provide the minimal set of features required to run Windows Setup, access and install operating
systems from the network, script basic repetitive tasks, and validate hardware.

D is incorrect. The SYSPREP tool can be used to prepare an image of a hard disk of a
computer that runs the Windows operating system so that it can be deployed to various destination
computers. It is used to prepare the computer by cleaning various user and machine settings and log
files.

B is incorrect. ImageX is defined as a command-line tool that is used to capture, modify,
and apply installation images for deployment in a large environment. It uses the Microsoft Windows

Imaging Format (WIM) image format and can be used to capture a volume to a WIM file and to apply
a WIM file to a volume.
