Microsoft TS: Windows Server 2008 R2, Server Virtualization Sample Questions:

Question #1
Your company has an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain that includes an AD security group named Monitoring.
You are configuring a Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V server.
You need to ensure that members of the Monitoring group can view virtual machines (VMs) but cannot make changes to them.
What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)

A. In Local Users and Computers, create a group named HVMonitor. Grant the Read permission to the HVMonitor group for the VM configuration files and the VHD files. Add the Monitoring group to the HVMonitor group.
B. In Authorization Manager, create a role named HVMonitor. Add all the View operations and the Read Service Configuration operation to the role. Assign the role to the Monitoring group.
C. In Authorization Manager, create a role named HVMonitor. Create a task that includes all the View operations and the Read Service Configuration operation. Add this task to the HVMonitor role. Assign the role to the Monitoring group.
D. In Active Directory, create a group named HVMonitor. Grant the Read permission to the HVMonitor group for the VM configuration files and the VHD files. Add the Monitoring group to the HVMonitor group.

Question #2
All servers on your network run Windows Server 2008 R2. You deploy Remote Desktop Services (RDS).
You are configuring the Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) role service.
You need to ensure that programs that are running continue to run when users are no longer actively connected to the RD Session Host server.
Which setting should you configure?

A. End a disconnected session
B. When a session limit is reached or connection is broken
C. Idle session limit
D. Active session limit

Question #3
You use Hyper-V server 2008 R2 and failover clustering to host several virtual machines (VMs). You plan to perform a Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) backup of a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV).
You need to ensure that resources can continue to use the CSV during the VSS backup.
What should you do?

A. Turn on maintenance mode for the CSV.
B. Turn on redirected access for the CSV.
C. Use Failover Cluster Manager to remove dependences from your disk resources.
D. Configure your VSS-aware backup utility as a generic application in failover clustering.

Question #4
A company has a Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V server environment. The environment is managed with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008 R2. The company requires that all server operating systems be provisioned as virtual machines (VMs). A server operating system should be provisioned as a physical server only if it does not function properly as a VM.
You are preparing to deploy a VM that will run Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. The VM will run a server application that has the following characteristics:
-The server application will use a minimum of 512 MB of memory.
-Based on performance monitoring data, the server application consumes 4 GB of memory during nightly processing.
-The network adapter speed must be 10 Gbps or faster.
You need to prepare the environment for the server application and ensure that application performance is maximized.
What should you do?

A. Add a synthetic network adapter to the VM and select the Enable spoofing of MAC addresses option.
B. Add a disk drive to the VM by using the Add-ClusterSharedVolume PowerShell cmdlet.
C. Add an emulated network adapter to the VM and select the Enable virtual network optimizations option.
D. Install the server application in a VM with the latest supported integration components.
E. Assign 1 GB of startup RAM and 4 GB of maximum RAM to the VM.
F. Add a synthetic network adapter to the VM and select the Enable virtual network optimizations option.
G. Add a disk drive to the VM by using the New-VirtualDiskDrive PowerShell cmdlet.
H. Assign 4 GB of static memory to the VM.
I. Assign 1 GB of startup RAM and 8 GB of maximum RAM to the VM.
J. Add a disk drive to the VM by using the iscsicli.exe command line tool.
K. Install the server application on a physical server.
L. Add an emulated network adapter to the VM and select the Enable spoofing of MAC addresses option.

Question #5
Your virtual environment includes a Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V failover cluster. You manage the environment by using Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008 R2.
You need to configure the live migration network priorities for all virtual machines (VMS).
What should you do?

A. In Failover Cluster Manager, edit the properties of a single VM.
B. Enable Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs).
C. In Hyper-V Manager, take each VM offline and edit the settings of each VM.
D. In Virtual Network Manager, edit the properties of the virtual network.
