    Correct answer: D

    D

    When IIS is running multiple websites, what do you use to isolate one site from another website?

    Show answer details

    Correct answer: B

    Explanation:
    An application pool is a set of resources (a worker process or a set of worker processes) used by a website or application that defines the memory boundaries for the site. Forcing each application to have its own application pool ensures that one site does not interfere with another site on the same server, which ensures application performance and improved application availability.
    Therefore, if one application has a memory leak or crashes, it will not affect the other sites.

    To enable enhanced keyboard and mouse functions for a Hyper-V virtual machine, you need to install:

    Show answer details

    Correct answer: A

    Explanation:
    To get a virtual machine (VM) to work properly, it's critical to install the Hyper-V integration components. These integration components install agents into a VM that enable a host to successfully back up a VM, recognize when it has gone down, copy and paste data into and out of a VM, and synchronize its clock to the host. These components are important to processing a VM's workload: In effect, their installation reconfigures an operating system to make it "aware" that it has been virtualized, resulting in an "enlightened" OS.

  4. 4

    You need to make a share hidden. Which symbol should you append to the share name?

    Show answer details

    Correct answer: E

    Explanation:
    The "$" appended to the end of the share name means that it is a hidden share. Windows will not list such shares among those it defines in typical queries by remote clients to obtain the list of shares. One needs to know the name of an administrative share in order to access it. Not every hidden share is administrative share; in other words, ordinary hidden shares may be created at user's discretion.

  5. 5

    Which of the following are the types of disk partitioning styles supported by Windows Server 2016? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. (Choose two.)

    Show answer details

    Correct answer: B, C

    B, C -- Explanation:
    Windows Server 2016 supports the following two types of partitioning styles: Master Boot Record (MBR): MBR is the partitioning style that allows up to four primary partitions per disk.
    GUID Partition Table (GPT): GPT is the partitioning style that allows up to 128 partitions on each disk.
    Incorrect answers:
    A: Server core and interactive are types of installation techniques.

    You need to centralize management of network printers. You also need to enable users to choose a printer based on location.

    What should you do?

    Show answer details

    Correct answer: B

    Explanation:
    Publishing your shared printers in Active Directory can make locating printers across a network more efficient for your users.

  7. 7

    Mark works as a Network Administrator for NetTech Inc. The company has a Windows 2016 domain-based network. The network has a file server that uses a RAID-5 volume. The RAID-5 volume is configured with five hard disk drives. Over the weekend, a drive in the RAID-5 volume fails.

    What will Mark do to restore the RAID-5 volume?

    Show answer details

    Correct answer: B

    Explanation:
    In order to restore the RAID-5 volume, Mark will have to replace the failed drive with a new one, use Disk Management, select a new area of free space, and then regenerate the volume. When a member of a mirrored volume or a RAID-5 volume fails, it becomes an orphan. Data for the orphaned member can be regenerated from the remaining members. A new area of free space that is of the same size or larger than the other members of the RAID-5 volume should be selected in Disk Management and then the data should be regenerated. The fault-tolerance driver reads the information from the stripes on the other member disks, and then re-creates the data of the missing member and writes it to the new member on restarting the computer. The volume must be locked by the operating system to regenerate a RAID-5 volume. All network connections to the volume will be lost when a volume is regenerated.

  8. 8

    Which of the following administrative tools will you use to set up recovery actions that take place when a service fails and to create custom names and descriptions for services so that they can be easily identified?

    Show answer details

    Correct answer: B

    Explanation:
    You should use Services to set up recovery actions that take place when a service fails and to create custom names and descriptions for services so that they can be easily identified. It manages services on computers.
    Incorrect answers:
    C: Computer Management is used to manage local computers or remote computers from a single, consolidated desktop utility.
    A: Component Services is used to deploy and administer COM+ programs from a GUI interface and automate administrative tasks using a scripting or programming language.
    D: System Configuration is used to identify issues that can affect Windows performance.

  9. 9

    You have created a cloned copy of Windows Server 2016 and applied this cloned copy to multiple computers.

    Each cloned copy of Windows uses the same image with the same parameters, including the computer name and security identifier. For these computers to operate properly without conflicting on a network, all parameters should be unique.

    What will you do to overcome this problem?

    Show answer details

    Correct answer: C

    Explanation:
    To overcome the given problem, you should run Sysprep (system preparation tool). When you use the Sysprep tool, it removes security identifiers (SIDs) and all other user-specific or computer- specific information from the computer before you run the disk cloning software to make the cloned disk image.

  10. 10

    Which of the following refers to a digital storage system directly attached to a server or workstation, without a storage network in between?

    Show answer details

    Correct answer: A

    Explanation:
    Direct-attached storage (DAS) refers to a digital storage system directly attached to a server or workstation, without a storage network in between.
    A typical DAS system is made of a data storage device connected directly to a computer through a host bus adapter (HBA). Between those two points, there is no network device (like hub, switch, or router), and this is the main characteristic of DAS. The main protocols used for DAS connections are ATA, SATA, eSATA, SCSI, SAS, and Fibre Channel.
    Incorrect answers:
    C: Network Attached Storage (NAS) is the hard disk storage that is set up with its own network address rather than being attached to the unit computer that is serving applications of a network's workspace users. A fully-featured operating system is not needed on a NAS device, so often a stripped-down operating system is used. NAS provides both storage and a file system.
    D: SAN stands for storage area network. It is an architecture to attach remote computer storage devices to servers in such a way that the devices appear as locally attached to the operating system. Sharing storage usually simplifies storage administration and adds flexibility since cables and storage devices do not have to be physically moved to shift storage from one server to another. SANs also tend to enable more effective disaster recovery processes.
    B: Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a computer bus used to move data to and from computer storage devices such as hard drives and tape drives. SAS depends on a point-to- point serial protocol that replaces the parallel SCSI bus technology. SAS offers backwards- compatibility with second-generation SATA drives.
