Creating and Configuring
Describe which factors must be considered when planning and designing a system image? The factors that need to be considered when planning and designing an image are what you are going to be what the image is going to be used for. For instance if was working in an office setting where everyone uses the same software and is on a network. There are many ways to design and deploy an image one is called DISM which means, Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool replaces the pkgmgr, PEImg, and IntlConfg tools that are being retired in Windows 7.
DISM provides a single centralized tool for performing all of the functions of these three tools in a more efficient and standardized way, eliminating the source of many of the frustrations experienced by current users of these tools. Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a command-line tool used to service Windows images offline before deployment. You can use it to install, uninstall, configure, and update Windows features, packages, drivers, and international settings. Subsets of the DISM servicing commands are also available for servicing a running operating system.
Next we have Windows SIM Windows System Image Manager creates and manages unattended Windows Setup answer files in a graphical user interface. Windows SIM provides the following benefits that enable you to: 1. Quickly create an unattended answer file. 2. Validate the settings of an existing answer file against a Windows image (.wim) file. 3. View all the configurable component settings in a .wim file. 4. Update an existing answer file easily. 5. Create a configuration set that contains a complete set of portable folders with setup files. 6. Add third-party drivers, applications, or other packages to an answer file.
