A small law firm hires you to set up its first file server. You decide to install Windows Server 2016 on a custom-built computer purchased from a local computer supplier. Early in the process, the installation prompts for storage drivers.
What are two possible ways to provide the drivers to the installation process? (Choose two.)
- Download the drivers, save them to the original installation DVD disk, and restart the installation process.
- Point the installation to a URL on the manufacturer’s website.
- Place them in the root directory of a USB flash drive and insert the flash drive into a USB port.
- Burn them to a blank CD and insert it in place of the installation disk.
Explanation:
You need a way of loading the drivers during the installation. The drivers need to be local to the server so they can either be on a USB drive of a CD. When prompted for the driver, insert the USB drive or CD. -
Which of the following statements are true about a device driver? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.
- Device drivers are software-dependent and do not depend on operating systems.
- It allows higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device.
- It is a program or software that controls a particular device.
- It works as a translator between the device and the operating system and programs that use the device.
Explanation:
A device driver is a program or software that controls a particular device. It works as a translator between the device and the operating system and programs that use the device. It provides an interface between a hardware device and operating systems and application software.
It allows higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. When an application needs data from a device, it requests the data from OS, which in turn, send a command request to the device driver.
Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-system-specific. They usually provide the interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interface. -

Explanation:
In order to verify whether the sound driver is properly installed or not, you should check Device Manager.
Device Manager is a Windows utility used to manage devices on a computer. It provides a graphical view of the hardware installed on a computer and marks malfunctioning devices or hardware. Using Device Manager, users can view and change device properties, update device drivers, configure device settings, and uninstall devices. The Device Manager is organized in a tree format with the top branches representing device categories. Using Device Manager, users can also enable or disable a device.Incorrect Answers:
A: The control panel is a part of the Microsoft Windows graphical user interface, which allows users to view and manipulate basic system settings and controls via applets, such as adding hardware, adding and removing software, controlling user accounts, and changing accessibility options. In recent versions of Windows, the Control Panel has two views, i.e., Classic View and Category View, and it is possible to switch between these through an option that appears on the left side of the window.B: Server Manager is a primary tool available in Windows Server 2016. It manages and secures multiple server roles in an enterprise.
C: Computer Management is a collection of Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins, including the Device Manager, Disk Defragmenter, Internet Information Services, Disk Management, Event Viewer, Local Users and Groups, Shared Folders, and other tools. Computer Management is the most prolific MCC that appears in the Administrative Tools folder in the Control Panel. Computer Management can also be pointed at another Windows machine altogether, allowing for monitoring and configuration of other computers on the local network that the user has access to.

- Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE)
- ImageX
- DiskPart
- SYSPREP tool
Explanation:
DiskPart is used to mount a virtual hard disk (.vhd) file offline and service it just like a Windows image file.Incorrect Answers:

You work as a System Administrator for company Inc. The company has a Windows 2016 Active Directory network. The company purchases twenty new computers.
The management instructs you to deploy Windows Server 2016 on all the new computers. You install Windows PE on all computers. You want to control whether a customized shell is loaded in Windows PE instead of the default Command Prompt window.
Which of the following commands will you use to accomplish the task?
- Wpeinit
- Winpeshl
- Wpeutil
- Oscdimg
Explanation:
Winpeshl is used to control whether a customized shell is loaded in Windows PE in place of the default Command Prompt window. In order to load a customized shell, create a file named Winpeshl.ini and put it in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 of the customized Windows PE image.
A: Wpeinit is a command-line tool that is used to initialize Windows PE each time it boots. When Windows PE starts, Winpeshl.exe executes Starnet.cmd, which launches Wpeinit.exe. Wpeinit replaces the initialization function previously supported in Factory.exe – winpe. Wpeinit saves the log messages to C:\Windows\system32\wpeinit.log.
Wpeinit can be executed manually from a Windows PE Command Prompt window to process a custom answer file. Wpeinit.exe accepts one option called –unattend.The parameter can be specified in one of the following four ways:
1. wpeinit –unattend=<path\unattend>
2. wpeinit –unattend:<path\unattend>
3. wpeinit /unattend=<path\unattend>
4. wpeinit /unattend:<path\unattend>Incorrect Answers:
C: Windows PE utility (Wpeutil) is command-line tool that is used to run various commands in a Windows PE session. It enables a user to shutdown or restart Windows PE, enable or disable a firewall, set language settings, and initialize a network.
For example, the following commands can be executed:
– Wpeutil shutdown
– Wpeutil enablefirewall
– Wpeutil rebootD: Oscdimg is a command-line tool used to create an image file of a customized 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows PE.
