Could someone please help here.
The MSCST exam covers disater recovery
Im a bit confused as to which disater recovery tool should be used when
dealing with start up problems by using (Safe Mode or LKGC.)
My Nuggetts video tells me as a general rule to try LKGC first if there is
a problem starting and then if not work try Safe Mode to get things up and
running. Glenn in Microsoft Press book states the opposite (2:50) try safe
mode first as LKGC can alter some system settings so for this reason try Safe
Mode first.
Can some please clarify which option should be used first.
Thanks

I think it depends on the specific situation. If you install a new
application and the new application causes a problem on the computer then
Last Known Good Configuration (LKGC) will remove the registry settings made
by the new application and restore the registry to the way it was right
after the last successful login.

From one my of practice tests:

You are a desktop support technician for your company. Sarah uses a Windows
XP Professional computer for word processing, spreadsheet and e-mail
applications. Recently, Sarah received a promotion. The added
responsibilities require that she use a database application. You install
the new application on Sarah's computer. Immediately after you install the
application, Sarah's computer displays a stop error. You need to remove the
changes that the application installation has made to the Registry so that
her computer will function normally. Which of the following procedures
should you use to remove the entries from the Registry on Sarah's computer?

1. You should restart the computer.
2. You should restart the computer in Safe Mode.
3. You should restart the computer in Safe Mode with Networking.
4. You should restart the computer in Safe Mode and use Device Driver Roll
Back.
5. You should restart the computer by using the Last Known Good
Configuration.

Thanks for that Mark.
Having looked at the alternatives in the answer I may have gone for Safe
Mode had the question not referred to registry settings. Safe Mode is
recommended for being able to revert problems connected with applications and
drivers but I'm not sure if it also reverts registry settings as well. ?

Starting a Windows XP computer in Safe Mode will not make any changes to the
registry.
