CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
After installing Windows Server 2022 Datacenter on a new rack-mounted server, loading vendor RAID drivers, applying the latest updates, and installing monitoring agents, an administrator plans to use a standalone disk-to-disk hardware duplicator to create physical clones of the system drive for nine identical servers that will be deployed later today. Each target chassis has the same motherboard, storage controller, and firmware settings as the source. To avoid security identifier (SID) conflicts, activation errors, or other duplication problems when the clones first boot on the production network, what action should the administrator take on the reference server immediately before powering it down for cloning?
Disable Secure Boot in UEFI firmware so the duplicated drives will boot in legacy BIOS mode.
Execute Sysprep with the /generalize and /shutdown options to reseal the OS, then power the server off.
Convert the NVMe system disk from GPT to MBR so the boot record copies identically.
Install Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and capture the server into a WIM image instead of using the disk duplicator.
