Clarification on command line server role installations

Jordus

Im studying for 640 and cant seem to find a clear answer on this.

Server Core uses ocsetup.exe to install its server roles. Thats fine.

However, I keep finding contradicting information about ocsetup.exe on a FULL install of Server 2008.

I know you can use ServerManagerCMD.exe to install roles, but is ocsetup.exe there and fully functional in a FULL install of Server 2008, as well?

I've seen some practice questions on this that are like:

How do you configure DHCP server role on Server 2008 Standard Full Install (choose all that apply):

A) open command line and type ipconfig /renew
open command line and type start w/ OCsetup DHCPServerCore
C) open command line and type ServerManagerCMD.exe /install DHCP

so would it be just B or B and C?

OCSetup Command-Line Options

ocsetup is available under Full. But you need to read your answers carefully. It could not be answer B as that is the Core version of DHCP, not the Full version. For full you would do start /w ocsetup DHCPServer

Well thanks to MS for making me learn double the switches for one EXE and entirely different switches for yet another EXE.

Why the hell cant they choose one and stick to it?

The best part is that ocsetup is gone in R2 and now they are going with DISM.
