A.
Server Manager

B.
Device Manager

C.
Mountvol

D.
Dism

Explanation:
You can use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to mount a
Windows image from a WIM or VHD file. Mounting an image maps the contents of the image
to a directory so that you can service the image using DISM without booting into the image.
You can also perform common file operations, such as copying, pasting, and editing on a
mounted image.
To apply packages and updates to a Windows Embedded Standard 7 image, we
recommend creating a configuration set and then using Deployment Imaging Servicing and
Management (DISM) to install that configuration set. Although DISM can be used to install
individual updates to an image, this method carries some additional risks and is not
recommended.

      DISM cannot mount a Windows image from a VHD on Windows Vista® with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008. You must attach the VHD using the DiskPart tool before you can use DISM to service the image. When you service VHD images that have been attached using the DiskPart tool, the changes are automatically committed with each operation and cannot be discarded.

    Diskpart, mountvol and DISM are all correct answers.

    Mountvol is the best answer because it is the simplest and least administrative effort. Also, I have seen the same question without DISM or diskpart as the answer, but Mountvol is one of the options. Since this question also has mountvol, I would say that’s the best answer choice here. This is especially true since Rizwan has verified in his exam that DISM isn’t listed as one of the options.

    Lastly, while the question mentioned 2012 R2, keep in mind the following:

    “DISM cannot mount a Windows image from a VHD on Windows Vista® with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008. You must attach the VHD using the DiskPart tool before you can use DISM to service the image.
