A. .bat
B. .dll
C. .ps1
D. .txt
Explanation: The .bat file type would be used in the Windows Startup folder to automate copying a personal storage table (.pst) file to a network drive at log-in. A .bat file is a batch file that contains a series of commands that can be executed by the command interpreter. A .bat file can be used to perform various tasks, such as copying, moving, deleting, or renaming files or directories. A .bat file can be placed in the Windows Startup folder to run automatically when a user logs in to the system. A .bat file can use the copy command to copy a .pst file from a local drive to a network drive. A .pst file is a personal storage table file that contains email messages, contacts, calendars, and other data from Microsoft Outlook. A .pst file can be backed up to a network drive for security or recovery purposes. The .dll, .ps1, and .txt file types are not used in the Windows Startup folder to automate copying a .pst file to a network drive at log-in. A .dll file is a dynamic link library file that contains code or data that can be shared by multiple programs. A .dll file cannot be executed directly by the user or the system. A .ps1 file is a PowerShell script file that contains commands or expressions that can be executed by the PowerShell interpreter. A .ps1 file can also perform various tasks, such as copying files or directories, but it requires PowerShell to be installed and configured on the system. A .txt file is a plain text file that contains unformatted text that can be read by any text editor or word processor. A .txt file cannot contain commands or expressions that can be executed by the system.

A. Install and run Linux and the required application in a PaaS cloud environment
B. Install and run Linux and the required application as a virtual machine installed under the Windows OS
C. Use a swappable drive bay for the boot drive and install each OS with applications on its own drive Swap the drives as needed
D. Set up a dual boot system by selecting the option to install Linux alongside Windows
The user should install and run Linux and the required application as a virtual machine
installed under the Windows OS. This solution would allow for parallel execution of the
Linux application and Windows applications2.
The MOST efficient solution that allows for parallel execution of the Linux application and
Windows applications is to install and run Linux and the required application as a virtual
machine installed under the Windows OS. This is because it allows you to run both Linux
and Windows together without the need to keep the Linux portion confined to a VM
window3.
