开始使用windows vista了

在gepc183上装上windows vista Business了，Intel 3.O GHz 双核CPU，1G的DDR内存，就是显卡差些，是Intel G945主板自带的。安装很简单，不到一个小时就完成了。vista下已经没有boot.ini了，另外配置也大多写在xml文件里，不再是各式各样的txt文件了。连日志文件都用xml文件。

现在正在看MCSA/MCSE的Exam 70-270的Training Kit，学到一些以前不知道的东西。只是不知道是不是现在考"Installing , Configurring and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Prosessional"会不会有些过时了，因为Vista都推出来了，win xp被淘汰只是迟早的事了。

10 Things You Need to Know about Deploying Windows Vista

Tools You Need; Tools to Forget

Here’s a rundown of the tools you’ll be using when you roll out Windows Vista, followed by a list of the tools you can retire for good once Windows Vista arrives.

USE THESE:

• SYSPREP This is the updated version, modified for Windows Vista.
• SETUP A new installation tool for Windows Vista, replaces WINNT and WINNT32.
• IMAGEX The new command-line tool for creating WIM images.
• Windows System Image Manager A tool for creating and modifying unattend.xml files.
• PEIMG The tool for customizing Windows PE 2.0 images.
• Windows Deployment Services The new version of RIS, which adds the ability to deploy Windows Vista and Windows XP images, as well as Windows PE 2.0 boot images.
• PNPUTIL This is the new tool for adding and removing drivers from the Windows Vista driver store.
• PKGMGR Also new, this Windows Vista tool is used for servicing the operating system.
• OCSETUP This replaces SYSOCMGR and is used for installing Windows components.
• BCDEDIT A new Windows Vista tool for editing boot configuration data.
• Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0 This updated tool lets you assess whether your applications are compatible with Windows Vista.
• User State Migration Tool 3.0 An updated tool for capturing and restoring user state, supports Windows XP and Windows Vista, as well as all versions of Office including 2007.
• BitLocker The full-volume drive encryption capability included in Windows Vista Enterprise and Ultimate editions.

FORGET THESE:

• Remote Installation Services RIS has been replaced by Windows Deployment Services (WDS) but still offers legacy support on Windows Server 2003; RIPREP and RISETUP are not possible with Windows Vista.
• Setup Manager/Notepad Use Windows System Image Manager instead for editing unattended setup configuration files.
• WINNT.EXE and WINNT32.EXE Use SETUP instead.
• SYSOCMGR Replaced by OCSETUP, PKGMGR.
• MS-DOS Boot Floppies Forget them. Use Windows PE!
