Exam MD-100 topic 2 question 31 discussion

I can agree with C. Because you "plan to install Windows 10 Pro" means to me that you are starting. Windows System Image Manager is included with the Windows ADK, but Windows PE is not anymore, it's an "add-on". So the first step to initiate customizing your images is to download and install Windows PE add-on. The link that you mentioned talks about only answer files. But the following link, that talk about installing Windows ADK, explains that you install Windows PE add-on right after the installation of ADK: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install "To add Windows PE to your ADK installation, download and install the Windows PE add-on after installing the ADK".

A - Start Windows System Image Manager. Click File > Select Windows Image. In Select a Windows Image, browse to and select the image file (D:\install.wim). Next, select an edition of Windows, for example, Windows 10 Pro, and click OK. Click Yes to create the catalog file. Windows SIM creates the file based on the image file, and saves it to the same folder as the image file. is the correct answer https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/update-windows-settings-and-scripts-create-your-own-answer-file-sxs?view=windows-11

You have to install ADK before creating an installation media, or creating an answer file with the install file. (Key word FIRST) I just dont get why it says WinPE coz youd have to get ADK for winPE no? https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-unattended-media-do-automated-installation-windows-10#:~:text=Install%20Windows%2010%20Using%20Answer%20File%201%20Turn,then%20Windows%2010%20should%20install%20automatically.%20See%20More. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/download-winpe--windows-pe?view=windows-11

The correct answer is A. Open the Install.wim file from the Windows 10 installation media. To create an answer file using Windows System Image Manager (SIM), you need to have the Windows ADK installed on your computer. Windows SIM is a part of the Windows ADK. Once you have installed the Windows ADK, the first step to creating an answer file is to open the Install.wim file from the Windows 10 installation media. This file contains the image of the Windows 10 operating system that you want to deploy.

You need to load an image, it will then build a catalog, and then you can create an answer file. No mention about PXE boot or WinPE, so no need to install it.

Im sure.

A. Open Image via W SIM to create/edit the answer file. kobukisan is correct. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/update-windows-settings-and-scripts-create-your-own-answer-file-sxs?view=windows-11

The answer should be A as to open SIM you must already have Windows SIM/Windows ADK installed. There is no need for Windows PE to create an answer file leaving the next stage to mount the install.wim file from your installation media
