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?
