Exam 70-797: Configuring Windows Devices (pilot) Practice Test
Exam 70-797 practice focuses on configuring Windows devices for everyday organizational use. The practice bank samples tasks involving device setup, user access, application control, printers, remote support, and troubleshooting. Questions also touch built-in tools for inspecting resource use and repairing system files, along with options for managing drivers and preparing devices with configuration packages.
Exam overview
About the Exam 70-797: Configuring Windows Devices (pilot) Exam
The available questions prompt decisions about matching Windows features to administrative needs: using Task Manager to identify CPU or memory use, applying application-control rules, and connecting to a shared printer. Other scenarios address sign-in messaging, account privileges, temporary interactive support, and access to a managed Microsoft Store catalog. Device-management items include creating provisioning packages, rolling back a driver in Device Manager, and using System File Checker to address damaged protected files. Working through these situations can help distinguish tools with similar purposes, such as remote assistance versus general remote access, or provisioning versus operating-system imaging. The practice material reflects a selection of device-configuration vocabulary rather than a confirmed map of official exam coverage.
Sample Practice Questions
Review a selection from this exam's published US Practice Tests practice bank.
A Windows PC is running slowly, and a technician wants to see which processes are using the most memory and CPU right now. Which built-in tool is the best first choice?
Show answer
Correct answer: ATask Manager provides a real-time view of running processes and their resource usage, including CPU and memory, making it a useful starting point for performance investigation.
An organization wants Windows devices to run only software that meets its configured application-control rules. Which Windows security technology is designed to enforce application control policies?
Show answer
Correct answer: AAppLocker can enforce rules that allow or deny applications based on attributes such as publisher, path, or file hash, depending on Windows edition and policy configuration.
A user needs to install a printer shared by a Windows print server. Which information is typically used to connect to the shared printer?
Show answer
Correct answer: AA shared printer can commonly be added by specifying its UNC path, which identifies both the print server and the printer share.
An administrator wants to display a short organization-specific message to users before they sign in to a Windows device. Which configuration is the most appropriate?
Show answer
Correct answer: AInteractive logon legal notice policies can configure a notice title and message that Windows displays before sign-in.
A Windows 10 administrator wants to create a reusable configuration package that can apply settings and install provisioning assets during initial device setup, without using a full operating-system imaging workflow. Which tool is designed to create such packages?
Show answer
Correct answer: AWindows Configuration Designer creates provisioning packages (.ppkg) that can apply configuration settings and provision devices. The other tools serve disk, memory-diagnostic, or performance-monitoring purposes.
A Windows user needs to let a colleague view and control the user's desktop temporarily for support. Which built-in feature is designed for an interactive remote assistance session?
Show answer
Correct answer: AWindows Remote Assistance is designed to let a helper connect to a user's session, with the user able to permit remote viewing or control as appropriate.
A Windows 10 administrator needs to ensure that a user can install approved applications from a managed company catalog while avoiding unmanaged downloads. Which Microsoft Store capability is most relevant?
Show answer
Correct answer: AA private store for an organization can present a curated set of apps for organizational users. Storage Sense manages storage space, and the remaining options do not provide a managed application catalog.

Preparation tips
- Practice distinguishing Task Manager's live process and resource view from tools used for system repair or configuration.
- For application control and software installation scenarios, compare policy enforcement, standard-user permissions, and managed Microsoft Store access.
- Review how a user connects to a print-server share and how an administrator can configure a pre-sign-in message.
- Compare provisioning packages with operating-system imaging, focusing on when each approach applies settings and setup assets.
- Know the purpose of Device Manager's driver rollback option and the role of System File Checker in scanning protected Windows files.
