Answer: B - Use the Sysprep utility when creating a Windows 7 disk image in order to avoid SID authentication conflicts.

Key Takeaway: If you make a disk image of a Windows, and they all have the same SID, when you go to authorize you’re going to be in trouble. Sysprep aims to fix this issue by allowing you generalize information during an installation, such as the SID. Setup Manager created answer files in XP, as the System Image Manager does in Windows 7/Vista. An answer file fills in certain information that Windows image seeks during installation, but it does not create or alter the image itself. Windows Deployment services run on Windows Server and is used to deploy the Operating System, for instance during a roll out.
