  4. Whistler


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

To answer this question, the user needs to have knowledge about the pre-release history of Windows PowerShell.

The correct answer is:

B. Monad

Explanation:

Before its formal announcement, Windows PowerShell was code-named "Monad." Monad was a project that Microsoft had been working on for several years. It was designed to be a task-based command-line shell and scripting language that would make it easier to automate system administration tasks. In 2006, Microsoft announced Monad as Windows PowerShell, which became its official name. Option B is the correct answer.

A. Longhorn: Longhorn was the code name for Windows Vista, which was released in 2006, the same year PowerShell was formally announced.

C. Cairo: Cairo was a code name for a project that Microsoft worked on in the early 1990s. It was intended to be a future version of Windows NT with an advanced object-oriented user interface and a new file system. However, the project was cancelled, and its technologies were incorporated into other Microsoft products.

D. Whistler: Whistler was the code name for Windows XP, which was released in 2001. It was the successor to Windows 2000 and was the first version of Windows to use the Windows NT kernel for both consumer and business versions of the operating system.

What must you set before you can run a PowerShell script?

  1. Your alarm clock

  2. Your budget

  3. Your execution policy

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of PowerShell execution policies.

Option A) Your alarm clock - This option is incorrect because setting an alarm clock is not necessary to run a PowerShell script. The execution of a script is not dependent on time management.

Option B) Your budget - This option is incorrect because setting a budget has no relevance to running a PowerShell script. The execution of a script is not related to financial planning.

Option C) Your execution policy - This option is correct because before running a PowerShell script, you need to set the execution policy. The execution policy determines the level of security for running scripts on your system. By default, the execution policy is set to "Restricted," which prevents the execution of any script. You need to change the execution policy to a more permissive value, such as "RemoteSigned" or "Unrestricted," to allow the execution of scripts.

Option D) All of the above - This option is incorrect because only option C, setting the execution policy, is relevant to running a PowerShell script. Options A and B (setting an alarm clock and a budget) have no connection to executing a script.

The correct answer is C) Your execution policy. This option is correct because before running a PowerShell script, you must set the execution policy to allow script execution on your system.
