Exam A
QUESTION 1
You work as the desktop support technician at TestKing.com. The TestKing.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named testking.com. The new TestKing.com directive states that all departments in TestKing.com should install Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition on their respective workstations. You have been assigned to the Research department.
To this end you are thus tasked with the responsibility to install Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition on the Research Department's workstations. Following is a list of the workstation specifications as at present in the research department:
1. 1.2 GHz processor.
2. 256 MB of RAM.
3. 10 GB hard drive.
4. SVGA video card.
5. Integrated sound card.
6. 10/100 integrated network adapter.
These computers are not ready to have Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition installed. They lack certain minimum hardware requirements. You now need to identify these and upgrade the workstations accordingly so as to comply with the new TestKing.com directive.

Section: 1 - Installing and Upgrading Windows Vista
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
You must have at least 512 MB of RAM and a minimum 20 GB hard drive with 15 GB of free space to successfully install Windows Vista.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Windows Vista requires an 800 MHz CPU, so the current 1.2 GHz processor will be adequate and will thus not need to be upgraded.
C: Windows Vista will function with an SVGA video card, although improvements in the user experience with Aero would require a Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) capable video card.
E: Windows Vista does not have a minimum network adapter requirement, making this option irrelevant in the circumstances.
