I don't think it's B. C seems reasonable if Python is on the system, since .py scripts can automate a lot, but Windows doesn’t run them natively at log-in without special setup. I could see techs using it in some environments though. Maybe I'm missing something?
A or C? .bat is classic for Windows logon tasks, but I've also seen .py used when Python's installed on every machine. C feels like a trap here since that's not always default. Pretty sure A is what most techs would use out of the box, correct me if I'm missing something!
A or C? I know .bat is standard for Windows logon scripts but I've seen .py used if Python's set up on the machine. Might be reading too much into it but C trips me up sometimes in practice test scenarios.
A tbh
Option A
.sh is for Linux, not Windows logins. .py and .js aren’t used as basic logon scripts in Windows either. Pretty sure it’s .bat unless the question mentioned PowerShell scripts, which it didn’t.
C vs A
A not B. .bat is way more common for Windows log-in automation unless you're in a super Python-heavy shop. Anyone disagree?
A is the one. C is tempting but only works if Python's installed by default, which isn't guaranteed.
A, but if the environment defaults to PowerShell scripts instead of cmd, this flips fast. Seen this confusion in some practice sets.
Batch files (.bat) are like the go-to for Windows automation at log-in. They're built into all Windows versions and work out of the box, unlike .py which needs Python installed. I'm pretty sure A fits what most support techs would actually use for this use case. Agree?
Be respectful. No spam.
