Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services — Question 55

You have a server that runs Windows Server 2025 Standard and has the Hyper-V role installed.

You need to upgrade the server to Windows Server 2025 Datacenter. The solution must minimize downtime.

What should you run?

Answer options

• A. dism.exe
• B. setup.exe
• C. slmgc.vbs
• D. convert.exe

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, dism.exe, which is specifically designed for servicing Windows images and can perform in-place upgrades with minimal downtime. The other options, such as setup.exe, are more suited for clean installs rather than upgrades, while slmgc.vbs is related to activation and convert.exe is not applicable for upgrading the Windows Server edition.
