What is the correct answer to the middle-bottom question: "How should they set it up?"
Core 2 PBQ: Supporting OS/App Installations Performance-based Question
- Thread starter Chris Gehringer
- Start date
I also have no idea what they are looking for. In this case it is unclear what they are looking for. I'm going through the PBQ again and I still don't know what they are looking for. Use sysprep right? Not sure even CompTIA knows. I find a lot of messed up questions on their learning and testing.

Even the video in CompTIA lessons doesn't mention specifically.
I've tried many different options to no avail.

Thanks for sharing the question.
The long answer is that -> they'll need to do unattended installation, then in the unattend.xml script, that's where they write how their computers should be named. This can be via System Image Manager (SIM).
As to what exactly the PBQ requires as correct answer, am not sure tho.

I have tried everything I can think of...
Including but not limited to -
Windows System Image Manager
SIM
System Image Manager
unattend.xml
unattend.xml script
script
PowerShell
CMD
department-serial
Department - Serial Number
automatically
automatically generated computer name
according to their department and serial number
Anyone have luck yet?
We have had the same issue with that PBQ. It might be a glitch in the answer form because we tried everything too with no positive result. Always a 13/15 score with those same two answers marked wrong. If anyone has successfully scored 15/15, please let us know ;-)
What other one did you miss? I have gotten it to a 14/15 but never 15/15.
The one that we always seem to get marked wrong is the one requesting path of install pkg. I think one Student got 14 also but never that one
"S:\" is the installer path.
16/17 and I'm out of ideas to try for the answer file setup.
The answer is as follows. This is not covered in the lessons from CompTIA but if you know your environment variables it will make sense.

You have to make sure you use a capital "S" and use the backslash to denote the root of the drive. -----> S:\
