YOU ARE A CONSULTANT HIRED BY FABRIKAM, INC. TO INSTALL WINDOWS XP...
7.
You are a consultant hired by Fabrikam, Inc. to install Windows XP Professional on 45
desktop computers. At the beginning of your first day, your manager provided you
with Fabrikam’s volume license product key and the Windows XP Professional CD-
ROM. You insert the CD-ROM into the first computer, but the installation fails after sev-
eral minutes—indicating that the installation media could not be read. You remove the
CD-ROM and examine it to discover a deep scratch in the surface of the media.
Your manager is nowhere to be found. His assistant reports that he will not return until
the afternoon, and that he is the only person with keys to the media locker where
backup copies of the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM are stored. However, you
brought your laptop from home, and your Windows XP Professional retail CD-ROM is
in the CD-ROM drive. What is the quickest way to begin your automated installations?
Choose the correct answer.
A.
Use your personal Windows XP Professional retail CD-ROM, and provide the
product key originally included with the disk.
B.
Use your personal Windows XP Professional retail CD-ROM and provide Fab-
rikam’s product key.
C.
Copy the contents of your personal Windows XP Professional CD to a shared
folder, and perform a network installation. Provide Fabrikam’s product key.
D.
Wait for the manager to return, and get a backup copy of the Windows XP Profes-
sional volume licensing CD-ROM.
