THE FORMAT AND STRUCTURE OF USER PROFILES ARE DIFFERENT BETWEEN WIN-DOWS 2000 AND WINDOWS XP

4.

Correct Answers: C

A. Incorrect:

The format and structure of user profiles are different between Win-

dows 2000 and Windows XP. Copying a profile from a computer running one

operating system to another will probably cause problems that can be serious,

such as users not being able to log on (or to access certain applications after they

have logged on).

B. Incorrect:

Although a script is an efficient way to copy the My Documents folder,

you cannot simply import the Registry from one computer to another. Addition-

ally, many applications store data in the user profile but outside of the My Docu-

ments folder. With this approach, any user data stored outside the My Documents

folder will not be copied to the new laptop computers.

C. Correct:

These procedures accomplish all the stated goals in an efficient manner.

The steps to add the computers to the domain can be partially automated through

a script, but the laptop computers were delivered with Windows XP Professional

already installed, so it might be faster do that manually. When scheduling the

USMT tools to run, make sure that the scheduled job is run in the context of an

account that belongs to the local Administrators group.

D. Incorrect:

The FSTW is an interactive tool that cannot be run silently from a com-

mand line. In other words, scheduling the tool in this manner does not accomplish

the goal of copying user data and settings. Additionally, there is nothing in this

answer to suggest that the computers were added to the Active Directory domain.
