Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
The domain contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
You need to ensure that a WIM file that is located on a network share is used as the installation
source when installing server roles and features on Server1.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose
two.)
A.
Run the dism.exe command and specify the /remove-package parameter.
B.
Run the Remove-WindowsFeature cmdlet.
C.
Enable and configure the Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair
policy setting by using a Group Policy object (GPO).
D.
Enable the Enforce upgrade component rules policy setting by using a Group Policy object (GPO).
E.
Run the Remove-WindowsPackage cmdlet.
Explanation:
A: To remove packages from an offline image by using DISM Example:
At a command prompt, specify the package identity to remove it from the image.
You can remove multiple packages on one command line.
DISM /Image:C:\test\offline /Remove-Package
/PackageName:Microsoft.Windows.Calc.Demo~6595b6144ccf1df~x86~en~1.0.0.0
/PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-MediaPlayerPackage~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.6801.0
C:
* You can use Group Policy to specify a Windows image repair source to use within your network.
The repair source can be used to restore Windows features or to repair a corrupted Windows image.
* Set Group Policy
You can use Group Policy to specify when to use Windows Update, or a network location as a
repair source for features on demand and automatic corruption repair.
To configure Group Policy for Feature on Demand
Open the group policy editor. For example, on a computer that is running Windows?8, click Search,
click Settings, type Edit Group Policy, and then select the Edit Group Policy setting.Click Computer Configuration, click Administrative Templates, click System, and then double-click
the Specify settings for optional component uninstallation and component repair setting. Select the
settings that you want to use for Features on Demand.
Note:
* The Windows Imaging Format (WIM) is a file-based disk image format. It was developed by
Microsoft to help deploy Windows Vista and subsequent versions of Windows operating system
family, as well as Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs.
Agree with C but I think B for the other answer. Question says you have a server already deployed (server1) so you will need to remove the feature installation files from it using the -remove switch from the Remove-WindowsFeature cmdlet no?

Yes I think you are right, dism is used for removing/adding features to the WIM itself, rather than just using it as the source:

i also think B and C are the right answers.
Uninstall-WindowsFeature -Remove
Removes the Payload from the Windows Server.
You can do this also only for not installed Features with this PS line:
Get-WindowsFeature | Where-Object {$_.Installed –eq $False} | Uninstall-WindowsFeature -Remove

you are right but the answer in the question says “Remove-WindowsFeature” not “Uninstall-WindowsFeature” and I know that for 2012 R2 the Uninstall-WindowsFeature is the right cmdlet. is the answer wrong or is it a point of the question?
I’m confused…

looks like remove-windowsfeature is an alias for uninstall-windowsfeature
PS C:\> get-help Remove-WindowsFeature
NAME
Uninstall-WindowsFeature
SYNTAX
Uninstall-WindowsFeature [-Name] [-Restart] [-IncludeManagementTools] [-Remove] [-ComputerName
] [-Credential ] [-LogPath ] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] []

It’s not an alias, on Server 2012 or R2 (not sure), they changed the Remove-WindowsFeature to Uninstall-WindowsFeature, although it still is recognized.
As for the question itself, i agree with answer C, but i cannot see why the other answers have anything to do with the question though.

Why are we removing anything? The question doesn’t say anything about removing features. It just asked what installation to use for installing features. I’m confused unless I’ve overlooked something.

That what I think is that Microsoft wants that we remove roles and features first and than that we specify new source for installation which is located on network share. You need to remove those roles and features first and than specify new location from which you will install it. In another words what is the point of specifying a new location if we have those roles on server if self. So the answer shoud be B and C

The point would be to install new roles and features. This is another set of answers that make no sense.

If the binaries for roles/features are on the local hard drive side-by-side store, WS2012 will use them as the source for installing roles and features. You first need to remove those via dism or powershell.
This article explains it in details:

You need to remove files from the side-by-side store first (C:\Windows\Winsxs), or installation source specified in the GPo will not be used.
This can be done in two ways:
DISM.exe with /Disable-Feature option
Uninstall-WindowsFeature with the -remove option
(Remove-WindowsFeature in Windows Server 2012 forwards to the Uninstall-WindowsFeature cmdlet and has the same effect)
/remove-package is used to remove a specified .cab file package from the image. It has the same effect as Remove-WindowsPackage cmdlet. Both are not relevant.
Correct answer are B and C

I also think the answer should be B and C.
My explanation:
A) Removes a package from a wim file that is not the question https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824838.aspx
B) To prevent the local installation files are used instead of the one from the wim file (remove parameter) : https://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj205471%28v=wps.620%29.aspx
C) To ensure that the wim file is used : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825020.aspx
D) Does not include the question https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa368364%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
E) Removes a package from a wim file that is not the question https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn376486.aspx

Lol
you are so wrong.
Enforce upgrade component rules
This policy setting causes the Windows Installer to enforce strict rules for component upgrades.If you enable this policy setting strict upgrade rules will be enforced by the Windows Installer which may cause some upgrades to fail.

me too also go to B and C.
if we are going to use another source for installing features, then we remove the features frowm current online windows that we are using..

For those not clear:
As folks said above, You need to remove the binary files from the side-by-side store first. That’s why we need extra step besides C.
The problem is:
Dism.exe supports online OS, and /Remove-Package supports running OS too. The only slight issue is this command only support .CAB file, not .MSU file.
While Remove-WindowsFeature on Windows 2012 will invoke Uninstall-WindowsFeature, which can do the same work as > Dism /online /Remove-Package.
So, if anyone know the absolute correct answer, would you please help?

Aw, this was a really nice post. Taking the time and actual effort to generate a very good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and never seem to get anything done.|

definitely C:
Configure alternate sources for feature files in Group Policy
The Group Policy setting described in this section specifies authorized source locations for .NET Framework 3.5 files, and other feature files that have been removed as part of a Features on Demand configuration. The policy setting Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair is located in the Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System folder in the Group Policy Management Console or Local Group Policy Editor.

Hi,
Good day!!
I would need help on powershell commands, I have given by a Task for automating installation of .Net Framework 3.5 on Windws 2012R2 server. so I did executed a DISM command after enabled option in “Specify Settings for Optional component installation and component repair” under Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System. But this should be automated by using some Powershell commands.
So could you please help me with Powershell commands in order to automate above manual process or help me with some documentation in achieving requirement.
Kindly let me know if you need any further information.
