D-CLS-DY-A-00 Online Practice Questions

Scenario: (Continued from Question 1) The IT Administrator wants to present a business case for investing in deployment automation to move from the "Basic" to at least the "Standardized" level.
According to the IDC research associated with the Dell model, what is the approximate cost saving per PC the organization could expect by achieving this transition?

Mention basic cable management techniques suitable for an office environment.
Evaluation Criteria:
? Correctly identifies all required cables/connections.
? Sequences connections logically, typically starting with peripherals to the dock before connecting the dock to the laptop and power.
? Specifies the correct port types (e.g., DisplayPort on dock and monitor, USB-C/Thunderbolt for laptop connection, RJ45 for network).
? Includes connecting the dock's power adapter as a distinct step.
? Mentions practical cable management (e.g., using Velcro straps, routing cables).

Scenario: An IT Administrator is evaluating their organization's current PC deployment practices using the Dell PC Optimized Deployment Model.
Their assessment reveals the following characteristics across different activities:
Current Practices Assessment:
--------------------------------------------------
Deployment Management: PCs deployed individually ("one-off"), no project management.
Staging and Logistics: Multiple warehouses used, staging supplies exceed 2 weeks.
Imaging: No central image standard exists.
Applications: Primarily loaded manually from network shares or CDs.
User State Migration: Files and settings copied manually by technicians.
Post-Deployment Support: No proactive process, relies on standard help desk tickets.
--------------------------------------------------
Question 1: Based on the assessment results and the definitions provided in the Dell PC Optimized Deployment Model, which maturity level best describes the organization's overall current state?

A deployment script needs to apply a Dell BIOS setting using `cctk.exe`, but only if the current value is not already set correctly. The script should first read the current value of the `--wakeonlan` setting and then apply `--wakeonlan=enable` only if the current value is not 'Enabled'.
# --- PowerShell Snippet ---
$cctkPath = "C:\...\cctk.exe"
$DesiredWOLState = "Enabled" # Note: cctk output is case-sensitive
# Read current state
$CurrentWOLOutput = & $cctkPath --wakeonlan
# Extract value (e.g., output might be "WakeOnLan=Enabled" or "WakeOnLan=Disabled")
$CurrentWOLState = ($CurrentWOLOutput -split '=')[1].Trim()
Write-Host "Current WOL State: $CurrentWOLState"
# Check and apply if needed
if ($CurrentWOLState -ne $DesiredWOLState) {
Write-Host
"Setting WOL State to $DesiredWOLState..."
& $cctkPath
"--wakeonlan=$DesiredWOLState"
# Add error checking
for the set command here...
} else {
Write-Host "WOL
State is already set correctly."
}
# --- End Snippet ---
What is a key benefit of checking the current setting before applying a new value in deployment scripts? (Select all that apply.)

Scenario: A Security Analyst is working with the IT deployment team to enhance the asset information recorded during new Dell client system deployments. The goal is to ensure critical security-related configurations are captured in the central Asset Management System (AMS) from the moment a device is provisioned, facilitating compliance checks and incident response.
Question 1: The Security Analyst mandates that the status of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip (Enabled/Disabled, Activated/Deactivated, Owned/Not Owned) must be recorded in the AMS during deployment.
Which method is most suitable for a Deployment Technician to programmatically retrieve this TPM status from a Dell laptop within a WinPE/SCCM Task Sequence environment for automated recording?
