What tool would you use to add updated device drivers to the image? A. Use the imagex command-line utility B. Use the pkgmgr.exe utility C. Use Windows SIM D. Use the DISM tool Answers 1. D is correct. To perform an automated installation of Windows 7, the installation process automatically looks for the autounattend.xml file on the DVD or USB drive. Answer A is incorrect because the oobe is an option to use with sysprep, not an answer file. Answer B is incorrect because the winnt.sif file is an answer file used in older versions of Windows. Answer C is incorrect because the autounattend.xml file needs to be put on a USB drive or network drive, not the C:\. 2. D is correct. Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a command-line tool that is used to service and manage Windows images. You can use it to install, uninstall, configure, and update Windows features, packages, drivers, and international settings. Answer A is incorrect because imagex is used to create and manage a WIM file. Answer B is incorrect because pkgmgr.exe (short for Package Manager) installs, uninstalls, configures, and updates features and packages for Windows. Answer C is incorrect because Windows SIM is used to create or validate answer files.
