1. DelCorp
Inc. is a health products company in Toronto. The company had upgraded its
Windows client machines to the latest version of Windows six months ago.
Recently, some users have complained that their systems have slowed down. Matt,
the Desktop administrator, has been assigned the task of resolving the issue.
The IT department suspects that the problem is due to malicious software. To
safeguard the corporate network, the department has decided to reinstall the
machines. However, the machines need to retain all user applications and files.
Matt has to restore these machines to the current applications and settings
levels, customized by users. He also wants to use a custom image that can
reinstall all the applications that were installed in the system. However, he
doesn't want to carry an image or deploy it through network. This is because he
wants to avoid a removable device or choke network bandwidth to ensure security
and performance of the corporate network. Therefore, Matt decides to create and
use a custom image of the system in the E:\Recovery folder of the system. What
should Matt do to perform the task? Experiment To test the solution, Rex needs
to perform the following tasks: Create a recovery image of a system. Refresh
the system.

3. WRT Inc. is an energy market research company. The company provides
consultancy to clients in the field of crude oil exploration and marketing in
form of reposts. The company has a robust IT infrastructure to support the
research and marketing operations. The IT department is planning to upgrade the
client operating system. To ensure a proper transition to the new operating
system, Chris, the Infrastructure Manager, has decided to set up a new virtual
lab environment to test the new client operating system. The virtual lab will
provide an efficient and cost effective method to test the new client operating
system. Brad, the Desktop Administrator, has been assigned the task to set up
the lab environment. Brad has analyzed the requirements for setup and
identified the following tasks: The new lab setup will use multiple virtual
machines with differencing disks based on a common base disk, Win_base, which
is kept at the E:\Base location. The base disk has the latest Windows operating
system installed. In case the location of the base hard disk is changed, the
virtual machine needs to be created with the existing differencing disk based
on the new location of the base hard disk. In case the virtual machine is
required in an original state after modification, the virtual machine needs to
be reverted to the original state. The virtual machine needs to be booted from
a CD or a network. To test the setup, Brad decides to create a Win 8 virtual
machine at the D:\VHD\Win8 location. After creating the differencing disk, the
base will be moved to the D:\Base_new location. How can Brad perform the
assigned tasks? Experiment To perform the assigned tasks, Brad need to perform
