70-417: Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012

You have a server named SCI that runs a Server Core Installation of Windows Server 2012 R2.

Shadow copies are enabled on all volumes.

You need to delete a specific shadow copy. The solution must minimize server downtime.

Which tool should you use?

Shadow
Diskshadow
Wbadmin
Diskpart

Correct answer: B

Explanation:

DiskShadow.exe is a tool that exposes the functionality offered by the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). The diskshadow command delete shadows deletes shadow copies.

The diskshadow command delete shadows deletes shadow copies.

Your network contains two Hyper-V hosts that are configured as shown in the following table.

You create a virtual machine on Server1 named VM1.

You plan to export VM1 from Server1 and import VM1 to Server2.

You need to ensure that you can start the imported copy of VM1 from snapshots.

What should you configure on VM1?

To answer, select the appropriate node in the answer area.

Correct answer: To work with this question, an Exam Simulator is required.

Explanation:

Note:If the CPUs are from the same manufacturer but not from the same type, you may need to use Processor Compatibility. (Incorrect) The network adapter is already disconnected.

Note:

If the CPUs are from the same manufacturer but not from the same type, you may need to use Processor Compatibility.

(Incorrect) The network adapter is already disconnected.

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two member servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012 R2.

You configure a new failover cluster named Cluster1. Server1 and Server2 are nodes in Cluster1. You need to configure the disk that will be used as a witness disk for Cluster1.

How should you configure the witness disk?

To answer, drag the appropriate configurations to the correct location or locations. Each configuration may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

You have a failover cluster named Cluster1 that contains four nodes. All of the nodes run Windows Server 2012 R2.

You need to force every node in Cluster1 to contact immediately the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server on your network for updates.

Which tool should you use?

The Add-CauClusterRole cmdlet
The Wuauclt command
The Wusa command
The Invoke-CauScan cmdlet

Correct answer: D

Explanation:

The Invoke-CauScancmdlet performs a scan of cluster nodes for applicable updates and returns a list of the initial set of updates that would be applied to each node in a specified cluster.

You have a Hyper-V host named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. Server1 is located in an isolated network that cannot access the Internet.

On Server1, you install a new virtual machine named VM1. VM1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials and connects to a private virtual network.

After 30 days, you discover that VM1 shuts down every 60 minutes.

You need to resolve the issue that causes VM1 to shut down every 60 minutes.

What should you do?

OnVM1, run slmgr.exe and specify the /ipk parameter.
OnServer1, run slmgr.exe and specify the /rearm-sku parameter.
Create a new internal virtual network and attach VM1 to the new virtual network.
On Server1, run Add-WindowsFeatureVolumeActivation.

Correct answer: A

You have a Hyper-V host named Server1.

Server1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1.

You view the properties of VM1 as shown in the following exhibit.

You need to configure bandwidth management for VM1.

Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate three actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)

Correct answer: To work with this question, an Exam Simulator is required.

Explanation:

Box 1: Shut down VM1.Box 2: Add a network adapter to VM1.Box 3: Configure the properties of the synthetic network adapter.You should configure the properties of the synthetic network adapter to manage bandwidth.

Box 1: Shut down VM1.

Box 2: Add a network adapter to VM1.

Box 3: Configure the properties of the synthetic network adapter.

You should configure the properties of the synthetic network adapter to manage bandwidth.

You have a Hyper-V host named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 has the virtual switches listed in the following table.

You create a virtual machine named VM1. VM1 has two network adapters. One network adapter connects to vSwitch1. The other network adapter connects to vSwitch2. You configure NIC teaming on VM1.

You need to ensure that if a physical NIC fails on Server1, VM1 remains connected to the network.

What should you do on Server1?

Run the Set-VmNetworkAdaptercmdlet.
Add a new network adapter to VM1.
Create a new virtual switch on Server 1.
Modify the properties of vSwitch1 and vSwitch2.

Correct answer: A

Your network contains two Hyper-V hosts that run Windows Server 2012 R2. The Hyper-V hosts contains several virtual machines that run Windows Server 2012 R2.

You install the Network Load Balancing feature on the virtual machines.

You need to configure the virtual machines to support Network Load Balancing (NLB).

Which virtual machine settings should you configure?

DHCP guard
Port mirroring
Router guard
MAC address

Correct answer: D

Explanation:

For NLB to be configured you need to enable MAC address spoofing. References:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/5b3a0a9d-26a2-49ba-bbbe- 29d11fcbb7ce/nlb-on-hyperv?forum=winserverhyperv

The settings for a virtual machine named VM2 are configured as shown in the VM2 exhibit.

The settings for Disk1.vhdx are configured as shown in the Disk1.vhdx exhibit.

The settings for Disk2.vhdx are configured as shown in the Disk2.vhdx exhibit.

Select Yes if the statement can be shown to be true based on the available information; otherwise select No.Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct answer: To work with this question, an Exam Simulator is required.

Explanation:

If you want to compact a differencing virtual hard disk or an undo disk, you must merge the changes to the parent disk and then compact the parent disk, if it is a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk. You can compact a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk.You cannot compact any other type of virtual hard disk.However, you can convert a fixed-size virtual hard disk to a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk and then compact the disk.If you want to compact a differencing virtual hard disk or an undo disk, you must merge the changes to the parent disk and then compact the parent disk, if it is a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk References:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708394(v=ws.10).aspx

You plan to deploy a file server to a temporary location.

The temporary location experiences intermittent power failures.

The file server will contain a dedicated volume for shared folders.

You need to create a volume for the shared folders. The solution must minimize the likelihood of file corruption if a power failure occurs.

Which file system should you use?

NFS
FAT32
ReFS
NTFS

Correct answer: C

Explanation:

The ReFS file system allows for resiliency against corruptions with the option to salvage amongst many other key features like Metadata integrity with checksums, Integrity streams with optional user data integrity, and shared storage pools across machines for additional failure tolerance and load balancing, etc.
