Question: 1 / 400

What is the procedure to prepare a Windows VM for creating a managed image in Azure?

Run Sysprep.exe and accept the default values

Run Sysprep.exe and select the Generalize check box

Run Sysprep.exe, select Generalize, and then Shutdown

To prepare a Windows virtual machine (VM) for creating a managed image in Azure, the correct procedure involves running Sysprep.exe and selecting the Generalize option, followed by shutting down the VM. This process is crucial as it prepares the Windows installation to be captured as an image.

Running Sysprep.exe with the Generalize option removes all system-specific data from the Windows installation, allowing Azure to create an image that can be used to deploy additional VMs without carrying over unique identifiers or configurations from the source VM. By shutting down the VM afterward, you ensure that the system is no longer in use and that Azure can safely take a snapshot of the VM's state for image creation.

The correct choice encompasses these key steps: it generalizes the Windows instance and shuts it down properly, making the captured image suitable for deployment in various scenarios across your Azure infrastructure.
