Chap-7

Question 1

how much HDD space is required for a 32 bit version of windows 7 to be installed?
how about a 64 bit version?

Answer 1

16GB’s and 20gb’s.

Question 2

what is a clean install and what is it called?

Answer 2

called custom install: all data is removed 1st.

Question 3

if you start a compter from a windows cd and there is no drive to select to download the OS then what should you do (using RAID here)

Answer 3

load and install the RAID drivers.

Question 4

if you have a dual boot OS system and want to make your computer boot from the other system then what do you need to do?

Answer 4

run the bcdedit.exe

command line tool used to mnage boot OS order.

Question 5

when 4 or more hardware components (not the NIC) are changed in a system, will this impact the windows activation/ re-activation?

Answer 5

yes, the hardware hash ID will change and cause issues with authentication with the Microsoft servers. then you must re-authenticate the operating system.

Question 6

how many other components must be changed out in a computer for the hardware hash id to change when the NIC network interface card has been changed out? (causes issues with the windows activation)

Answer 6

2 or more

then the user must re-authenticate the OS/

Question 7

if i have a computer that i have not changes out or removed any of the hardware but instead added a bunch, will it effect the Microsoft authentication process?

Answer 7

no, as long as the original hardware is in a system then the hardware id will be the same and a user can add s many hardware parts as they want.

Question 8

diff between powershell and command prompt?

Answer 8

powershell has built in cmdlets (commands) that work well with windows.

Question 9

what is the command /lac do?

Answer 9

/lac: creates a user account if it does not exist on the destination computer
/

Question 10

what does the /lae command do?

Answer 10

/lae: enables user account that was created with the /lac option (/lac is used to create a user account when it is not on the local system but was on the system that is being copied over.)

Question 11

go over 7.8.6 questions again

Answer 11

chapt 7

Question 12

what 2 steps must one do to migrate specific app settings?

Answer 12

1.) run scanstate with /genconfig
(this makes a user configuration file that then can be edited)
2.) go into the config.xml file and edit it so that certain application settings are edited.

Question 13

what are the 2 methods that are used to create a VHD file?

Answer 13

VHD= Virtual Hard Drive
1- Diskpart in the command prompt
2- disk management (allows management of each hdd and partitions)

Question 14

what are the steps to create a VHD and what is a VHD?

Answer 14

VHD= Virtual Hard Drive.

1. ) open disk management
2. ) go to action
3. ) create VHD - put in parameters
4. ) select the VHD and enable it
5. ) create volumes on the VHD

Question 15

what are the steps to install windows on a VHD (Virtual hard drive)

Answer 15

1.) command prompt
2.) diskpart:
create vdisk file = (file name with drive letter) type=fixed maximum = (size in mbs)
diskpart > select vdisk file = file name
attach > vdisk
3.) put in windows cd then press shift F-10 to open command prompt
4.) diskpart> select vdisk file = win10.vhd
>attach vdisk

Question 16

what is Bridged Networking?

Answer 16

when 2 or more virtual machines communicate over the physical network while being hosted on the same computer.

Question 17

what is Host Only mode?

Answer 17

when a host computer is running hyper -visor virtualization and has several virtual operating systems that are then communicating with one another over a virtual network using virtual routers and switches that are also on the host machine.
(runs in RAM)

Question 18

Sandbox environment?

Answer 18

virtual machines in an isolated area so that damage to current system will not ocure.

Question 19

what are the system requirements to enable hyper V in a windows system?

Answer 19

1- 64 bit CPU
2- SLATT= second level address translation technology (cpu support)
3-virtualization enabled in BIOS / EUFI
4-lots of RAM installed (4 GB minimum)

Question 20

how does one enable hyper v on a windows system (windows 8 or newer)

Answer 20

1-control panel
2- programs and features
3-hyper v
4-turn on
5-create the virtual machine at this point
6-link to ISO file or hardware optical drive
7- install and load the operating system
8- installation integration services (loads specialized network, display and mouse drivers within the VM). *works better than what windows would load on its own.

Question 21

when selecting the virtual machine type (type 1 or two) what should one consider?

Answer 21

is the virtual machine going to be staying on one location or does it need to be portable and compatible with older versions of hyper v?
version 1 is compatible with older hyper v and is portable while version 2 is not.

Question 22

what is dynamic memory in hyper v?

Answer 22

ram is added or removed to each virtual machine based on how it is used or needed.

Question 23

what is a virtual machine checkpoint?

Answer 23

a snapshot or back up of a vertual machine. allows the machine to be reverted back to this ‘check point’ if ever needed.

Question 24

how do you create a virtual machine checkpoint?

Answer 24

right click the VM, select create checkpoint,

Question 25

what are the 2 types of checkpoints?

Answer 25

1-standard checkpoint

2- production checkpoint

Question 26

what is the diff. between a standard and production checkpoint?

Answer 26

standard checkpoint: the VM with all current settings, CPU registry info, etc is saved as is.
-Production checkpoint: only used for day to day servers and workstations. does not preserve the state of the VM and is more lean.
