Q1. Your network contains a Hyper-V host named Hyperv1. Hyperv1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2. 

Hyperv1 hosts four virtual machines named VM1, VM2, VM3, and VM4. All of the virtual machines run Windows Server 2008 R2. 

You need to view the amount of memory resources and processor resources that VM4 currently uses. 

Which tool should you use on Hyperv1? 

A. Task Manager 

B. Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) 

C. Hyper-V Manager 

D. Resource Monitor 

Answer:

Q2. Your network contains an Active Directory domain named adatum.com. The domain 

contains a member server named Server1 and a domain controller named DC2. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2. 

On DC2, you open Server Manager and you add Server1 as another server to manage. 

From Server Manager on DC2, you right-click Server1 as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.) 

You need to ensure that when you right-click Server1, you see the option to run the DHCP console. 

What should you do? 

A. On DC2, install the Role Administration Tools. 

B. On DC2 and Server1, run winrmquickconfig. 

C. In the domain, add DC2 to the DHCP Administrators group. 

D. On Server1, install the Feature Administration Tools. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

You need to install the feature administrations tools for the dhcp . Need to install DHCP management tools on DC2 then you will have access to dhcp management. 

Q3. Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two domain controllers. The domain controllers are configured as shown in the following table. 

In the perimeter network, you install a new server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 is in a workgroup. 

You need to perform an offline domain join of Server1 to the contoso.com domain. 

What should you do first? 

A. Run the djoin.exe command. 

B. Run the dsadd.exe command. 

C. Transfer the PDC emulator role to DC1. 

D. Transfer the infrastructure master role to DC1. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

There do not appear to be any requirements on operations master roles for this specific requirement. 

Moreover, ODJ is available on both 2008R2 and 2012 and if there was to deal with a FSMO, RID would be concerned as it's needed to create an AD object (in this case, creating the computer account) 

Q4. You have a server named Data1 that runs a Server Core Installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. 

You need to configure Data1 to run a Server Core Installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. You want to achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of administrative effort. 

What should you perform? 

A. An online servicing by using Dism 

B. An offline servicing by using Dism 

C. An upgrade installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 

D. A clean installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 

Answer:

Explanation: 

A. Not least effort 

B. Not least effort 

C. dism /online /set-edition 

D. offline would be less ideal and more workex: DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerEnterprise / ProductKey:489J6-VHDMP-X63PK-3K798-CPX3YWindows Server 2008 R2/2012 contains a command-line utility called DISM (Deployment Image Servicing andManagement tool). This tool has many features, but one of those features is the ability to upgrade the edition ofWindows in use. Note that this process is for upgrades only and is irreversible. You cannot set a Windowsimage to a lower edition. The lowest edition will not appear when you run the /Get-TargetEditions option. If the server is running an evaluation version of Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard or Windows Server 2012 R2Datacenter, you can convert it to a retail version as follows: If the server is a domain controller, you cannot convert it to a retail version. In this case, install an additionaldomain controller on a server that runs a retail version and remove AD DS from the domain controller thatruns on the evaluation version. From an elevated command prompt, determine the current edition name with the command DISM /online /Get-CurrentEdition. Make note of the edition ID, an abbreviated form of the edition name. Then run DISM /online /Set-Edition:<edition ID> /ProductKey:XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX /AcceptEula,providing the edition ID and a retail product key. The server will restart twice. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574204.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744380%28v=ws.10%29.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/server_core/archive/2009/10/14/upgrading- windows-server2008-r2- without-media.aspx http://communities.vmware.com/people/vmroyale/blog/2012/05/30/howto-

Q5. You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. 

You discover that the performance of Server1 is poor. 

The results of a performance report generated on Server1 are shown in the following table. 

You need to identify the cause of the performance issue. 

What should you identify? 

A. Insufficient processors 

B. Excessive paging 

C. Driver malfunction 

D. Insufficient RAM 

Answer:

Explanation: 

Processor: %DPC Time. Much like the other values, this counter shows the amount of time that the processor spends servicing DPC requests. DPC requests are more often than not associated with the network interface. Processor: % Interrupt Time. This is the percentage of time that the processor is spending on handling Interrupts. Generally, if this value exceeds 50% of the processor time you may have a hardware issue. Some components on the computer can force this issue and not really be a problem. For example a programmable I/O card like an old disk controller card, can take up to 40% of the CPU time. A NIC on a busy IIS server can likewise generate a large percentage of processor activity. Processor: % User Time. The value of this counter helps to determine the kind of processing that is affecting the system. Of course the resulting value is the total amount of non-idle time that was spent on User mode operations. This generally means application code. 

Processor: %Privilege Time. This is the amount of time the processor was busy with Kernel mode operations. If the processor is very busy and this mode is high, it is usually an indication of some type of NT service having difficulty, although user mode programs can make calls to the Kernel mode NT components to occasionally cause this type of performance issue. Memory: Pages/sac This value is often confused with Page Faults/sec. The Pages/sec counter is a combination of Pages Input/sec and Pages Output/sec counters. Recall that Page Faults/sec is a combination of hard page faults and soft page faults. This counter, however, is a general indicator of how often the system is using the hard drive to store or retrieve memory associated data. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc768048.aspx 

Q6. You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 has the Hyper-V server role installed. 

The disks on Server1 are configured as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.) 

You create a virtual machine on Server1. 

You need to ensure that you can configure a pass-through disk for the virtual machine. 

What should you do? 

A. Convert Disk 1 to a GPT disk. 

B. Convert Disk 1 to a dynamic disk. 

C. Delete partition E. 

D. Take Disk 1 offline. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

NB: added the missing exhibit http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2008/10/24/configuring-pass-through-disks-inhyper- v.aspx Passthrough Disk Configuration Hyper-V allows virtual machines to access storage mapped directly to the Hyper-V server without requiring the volume be configured. The storage can either be a physical disk internal to the Hyper-V server or it can be a Storage Area Network (SAN) Logical Unit (LUN) mapped to the Hyper-V server. To ensure the Guest has exclusive access to the storage, it must be placed in an Offline state from the Hyper-V server perspective. Additionally, this raw piece of storage is not limited in size so, hypothetically, it can be a multi terabyte LUN. 

After storage is mapped to the Hyper-V server, it will appear as a raw volume and will be in an Offline state (depending on the SAN Policy (Figure 1-1)) as seen in Figure 1. 

We stated earlier that a disk must be Offline from the Hyper-V servers' perspective in order for the Guest to have exclusive access. However, a raw volume must first be initialized before it can be used. To accomplish this in the Disk Management interface, the disk must first be brought Online. Once Online, the disk will show as being Not Initialized (Figure 2). 

Right-click on the disk and select Initialize Disk (Figure 3) 

Select either an MBR or GPT partition type (Figure 4). 

Once a disk is initialized, it can once again be placed in an Offline state. If the disk is not in an Offline state, it will not be available for selection when configuring the Guest's storage. In order to configure a Pass-through disk in a Guest, you must select Attach a virtual disk later in the New Virtual Machine Wizard (Figure 5). 

If the Pass-through disk will be used to boot the operating system, it must be attached to an 

IDE Controller. 

Data disks can take advantage of SCSI controllers. In Figure 6, a Passthrough disk is 

attached to IDE Controller 0. 

Note: If the disk does not appear in the drop down list, ensure the disk is Offline in the Disk Management interface (In Server CORE, use the diskpart.exe CLI). Once the Pass-through disk is configured, the Guest can be started and data can placed on the drive. If an operating system will be installed, the installation process will properly prepare the disk. If the disk will be used for data storage, it must be prepared in the Guest operating system before data can be placed on it. If a Pass- through disk, being used to support an operating system installation, is brought Online before the Guest is started, the Guest will fail to start. When using Pass-through disks to support an operating system installation, provisions must be made for storing the Guest configuration file in an alternate location. This is because the entire Pass-through disk is consumed by the operating system installation. An example would be to locate the configuration file on another internal drive in the Hyper-V server itself. Or, if it is a cluster, the configuration file can be hosted on a separate cluster providing highly available file services. Be aware that Pass-through disks cannot be dynamically expanded. Additionally, when using Pass-through disks, you lose the capability to take snapshots, and finally, you cannot use differencing disks with Pass-through disks. 

Q7. Your network contains a single Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a member server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. 

Server1 has the Windows Server Updates Services server role installed and is configured to download updates from the Microsoft Update servers. 

You need to ensure that Server1 downloads express installation files from the Microsoft Update servers. 

What should you do from the Update Services console? 

A. From the Products and Classifications options, configure the Products settings. 

B. From the Products and Classifications options, configure the Classifications settings. 

C. From the Update Files and Languages options, configure the Update Files settings. 

D. From the Automatic Approvals options, configure the Update Rules settings. 

Answer:

Q8. Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two member servers named Server1 and Server2. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2. 

Server1 and Server2 are nodes in a Hyper-V cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 hosts 10 virtual machines. All of the virtual machines run Windows Server 2012 R2 and are members of the domain. 

You need to ensure that the first time a service named Service1 fails on a virtual machine, the virtual machine is moved to a different node. 

You configure Service1 to be monitored from Failover Cluster Manager. 

What should you configure on the virtual machine? 

A. From the General settings, modify the Startup type. 

B. From the Recovery settings of Service1, set the First failure recovery action to Take No Action. 

C. From the Recovery settings of Service1, set the First failure recovery action to Restart the Service. 

D. From the General settings, modify the Service status. 

Answer:

Explanation: 

C. Configure the virtual machine to take no action through Hyper-V if the physical computer shuts down by modifying the Automatic Stop Action setting to None. Virtual machine state must be managed through the Failover Clustering feature. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc742396.aspx http://windowsitpro.com/windows-server-2012/enable-windows-server-2012-failover-cluster-hyper-v-vmmonitoring
