70-410: Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012

You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 has the Hyper-V server role installed.

An iSCSI SAN is available on the network.

Server1 hosts four virtual machines named VM1, VM2, VM3, and VM4.

You create a LUN on the SAN to host the virtual hard drive files for the virtual machines.

You need to create a 3-TB virtual hard disk for VM1 on the LUN. The solution must prevent VM1 from being paused if the LUN runs out of disk space.

Which type of virtual hard disk should you create on the LUN?

Dynamically expanding VHDX
Fixed-size VHDX
Fixed-size VHD
Dynamically expanding VHD

Correct answer: B

Explanation:

The virtual disk needs to be a VHDX file since it is going to be over 2TB in size and it must be fixed-size so that the space is already taken on the server (that way the server does not run out of space as the volume grows) even if the actual virtual disk does not yet hold that amount of data.

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named adatum.com. The domain contains a member server named Host1. Host1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2 and has the Hyper-V server role installed.

Host1 hosts two virtual machines named VM5 and VM6. Both virtual machines connect to a virtual switch named Virtual1.

On VM5, you install a network monitoring application named Monitor1.

You need to capture all of the inbound and outbound traffic to VM6 by using Monitor1.

Which two commands should you run from Windows PowerShell? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

Get-VM “VM6″ | Set-VMNetworkAdapter-IovWeight 1
Get-VM “VM5″ I Set-VMNetworkAdapter -IovWeight 0
Get-VM “VM5″ | Set-VMNetworkAdapter -PortMirroring Source
Get-VM “VM6″ | Set-VMNetworkAdapter -AllowTeaming On
Get-VM “VM6″ | Set-VMNetworkAdapter -PortMirroring Destination
Get-VM “VM5″ | Set-VMNetworkAdapter -AllowTeaming On

Correct answer: CE

Explanation:

- PortMirroring specifies the port mirroring mode for the network adapter. This can be set to None, Source, and Destination. If set to Source, a copy of every network packet it sends or receives is forwarded to a virtual network adapter configured to receive the packets. If set to Destination, it receives copied packets from the source virtual network adapter. In this scenario, VM5 is the destination which must receive a copy of the network packets from VM6, which s the source.

If set to Source, a copy of every network packet it sends or receives is forwarded to a virtual network adapter configured to receive the packets.
If set to Destination, it receives copied packets from the source virtual network adapter.

In this scenario, VM5 is the destination which must receive a copy of the network packets from VM6, which s the source.

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-VmNetworkAdapter cmdlet.
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

Explanation:

The Set-VmNetworkAdapter cmdlet configures features of the virtual network adapter in a virtual machine or the management operating system. References: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/hyper-v/set-vmnetworkadapter?view=win10-ps

You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 has the Hyper-V server role installed. Server1 is connected to two Fibre Channel SANs and is configured as shown in the following table.

You have a virtual machine named VM1.

You need to configure VM1 to connect to SAN1.

What should you do first?

Add one HBA
Create a Virtual Fibre Channel SAN.
Create a Hyper-V virtual switch.
Configure network adapter teaming.

Correct answer: B

Explanation:

You need your virtualized workloads to connect easily and reliably to your existing storage arrays. Windows Server 2012 provides Fibre Channel ports within the guest operating system, which allows you to connect to Fibre Channel directly from within virtual machines. This feature protects your investments in Fibre Channel, enables you to virtualize workloads that use direct access to Fibre Channel storage, allows you to cluster guest operating systems over Fibre Channel, and provides an important new storage option for servers hosted in your virtualization infrastructure. With this Hyper-V virtual Fibre Channel feature, you can connect to Fibre Channel storage from within a virtual machine. This allows you to use your existing Fibre Channel investments to support virtualized workloads. Support for Fibre Channel in Hyper-V guests also includes support for many related features, such as virtual SANs, live migration, and MPIO.

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a server named Server1. Server1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2 and has the Hyper-V server role installed.

On Server1, you create and start a virtual machine named VM1. VM1 is configured as shown in the following table.

You need to recommend a solution to minimize the amount of disk space used for the checkpoint of VM1.

What should you do before you create the checkpoint?

Run the Resize-VHD cmdlet.
Convert Disk1.vhd to a dynamically expanding disk.
Shut down VM1.
Run the Convert-VHD cmdlet.

Correct answer: C

Explanation:

Changing between a fixed and dynamic disk type does not alter the size of a SNAPSHOT much at all. However, since a snapshot is a record of a VMs state at the exact time that the snapshot was taken, shutting down the VM before taking the snapshot prevents the snapshot from having to contain all of the data in RAM (as there is no data in memory when a machine is powered down). The question states that the solution should minimize the amount of disk space used for the checkpoint of VM1. If the checkpoint is taken while VM1 is running, there will be two attritional files present at the checkpoint location; a .VSV with VM1 saved state files and a .BIN file which contains VM1’s memory contents. If, however, VM1 is shut down first, these files will not be created, thus saving disk space. In order to convert Disk1.vhd to a dynamically expanding disk, VM1 still have to be shut down.

You have a print server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.

You discover that when there are many pending print jobs, the system drive occasionally runs out of free space.

You add a new hard disk to Server1.You create a new NTFS volume.

You need to prevent the print jobs from consuming disk space on the system volume.

What should you modify?

The properties on the new volume
The properties of the Print Spooler service
The Print Server Properties
The properties of each shared printer

Correct answer: C

Explanation:

Windows spools print jobs by default to the following directory as they are processed:%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS. It is possible for the administrator of a Windows print server to manually instruct Windows the location for placing the spool files, if for example there is a concern for disk space.
