CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
You are preparing a reference virtual machine that will be captured and used as the gold image for deploying fifty Windows Server 2022 instances in a private cloud. Each clone must receive its own unique security identifier (SID) and ask for a computer name the first time it boots so it can join the domain without conflicts. Which action should you take on the reference VM immediately before capturing the image?
Clear the VM's virtual network adapter and generate a new MAC address.
Enable PXE boot on the hypervisor so the image can be deployed over the network.
Run the System Preparation Tool (sysprep) with the /generalize option and power the VM off.
Install Hyper-V Integration Services to inject updated drivers into the image.
