catalog file
An installation that is performed on a new computer, or does not retain the user settings or applications of an existing computer.
clean installation
The subset of files from a distribution share that are required for a particular answer file. A _________________ is more compact than a distribution share.
configuration set
A share configured through Windows SIM to hold drivers and packages that can be added to Windows 10 during installation.
distribution share
An installation of Windows 10 that is started by running Setup.exe over the network from a distribution share.
distribution share installation
A sector-based image format developed by Microsoft that contains only a single image per file.
full flash update (FFU)
A process performed by Sysprep to prepare a computer running Windows 10 for imaging. The computer SID, computer name, and hardware information are removed during _______________.
generalization
The configuration pass that is performed when Sysprep is run to generalize Windows 10.
generalize configuration pass

image
An installation that uses DISM to apply an image of an operating system to a computer. The image can include applications as well as the operating system.
image-based installation
A set of software tools that you can use to configure lite-touch or zero-touch deployment of Windows 10.
Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)
An update that is applied to Windows 10 during installation before Windows 10 is started. The packages used for ________________ are supplied by Microsoft.
offline update
The second configuration pass that is performed after the Windows image has been copied to the local hard drive. This configuration pass applies packages, such as security updates, language packs, and device drivers, before Windows 10 is started.
offlineServicing configuration pass
The final configuration pass before installation is complete, applied during the user out-of-box experience (OOBE). This configuration pass is typically used in conjunction with Sysprep and DISM.
oobeSystem configuration pass
The installation of Windows 10 that is performed by the computer vendor before shipping to a customer.
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) installation
A configuration process for Windows 10 that modifies the configuration of an already installed Windows 10 operating system to match corporate standards. Windows Configuration Designer creates provisioning packages that perform that configuration.
provisioning
An installation of Windows 10 that is started by booting from removable media, such as a DVD or USB drive, to run Setup.exe.
removable media installation
The configuration pass that is performed after hardware has been detected. This is the most common configuration pass to apply settings.
specialize configuration pass
A tool that is used to generalize Windows 10 and prepare computers for imaging.
Sysprep
An option in Sysprep that triggers the computer to enter audit mode and run the auditSystem and auditUser configuration passes on reboot.
System Audit Mode cleanup action
An option in Sysprep that triggers the computer to run the oobeSystem configuration pass and start Windows Welcome on reboot.
System Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) cleanup action
An answer file that is automatically searched for during the generalize, specialize, auditSystem, auditUser, and oobeSystem configuration passes.
unattend.xml
An installation that does not require any user input because all necessary configuration information is provided by an answer file.
unattended installation
An installation that migrates all of the settings from a preexisting Windows operating system to Windows 10.
upgrade installation
A set of scriptable command-line utilities that are used to migrate user settings and files from a source computer to a destination computer.
User State Migration Tool (USMT)
A collection of utilities and documentation for automating the deployment of Windows 10.

A cloud-based service that is used to automate the provisioning of computers running Windows 10.
Windows AutoPilot
A tool in the Windows 10 ADK that is used to create provisioning packages.
Windows Configuration Designer
A role in Windows Server that you can use to deploy images over the network.
Windows Deployment Services (WDS)

Windows image (WIM)
A limited version of Windows that can be used to perform recovery tasks and install Windows 10.
Windows PE
A utility that is used to create answer files for Windows 10 unattended installations. ________________ can also create distribution shares and configuration sets.
Windows System Image Manager (SIM)
The first configuration pass performed during Setup, which can be used to perform tasks such as disk partitioning and entering the product key.
windowsPE configuration pass
