An administrator is deploying multiple Windows 2003 Virtual Machines from the same template. What two steps should be taken to avoid network conflicts? (Choose two.)

Using Guest Customization Specifications during deployment triggers Sysprep to assign each VM a unique hostname, SID, and optionally a unique IP address, preventing network identity conflicts between cloned VMs.

Installing VMware Tools improves VM performance and integration with the hypervisor but does not address duplicate SIDs, hostnames, or IP addresses that cause network conflicts.

For Windows 2003, vCenter Server does not include Sysprep by default - the administrator must manually copy the Microsoft Sysprep tools to the vCenter Server system so that the guest customization engine can invoke Sysprep during deployment.

Selecting the e1000 virtual NIC adapter type is a hardware compatibility choice and has no effect on network conflicts caused by duplicate OS-level identities such as SIDs or hostnames.
