What is Always Offline Mode? How do you enable it?
|
Always Offline mode provides faster access to cached files and redirected folders. Always Offline also provides lower bandwidth usage because users are always working offline, even when they are connected through a high-speed network connection.
To enable the Always Offline mode, your environment must meet the following prerequisites. -An Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain, with client computers joined to the domain. There are no forest or domain functional-level requirements or schema requirements. -Client computers running Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012. (Client computers running earlier versions of Windows might continue to transition to Online mode on very high-speed network connections.) -A computer with Group Policy Management installed. Use Group Policy to enable the Configure slow-link mode policy setting and set the latency to 1 (millisecond). Doing so causes client computers running Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 to automatically use the Always Offline mode. |

Why are pass-through disks no longer recommended for Hyper-V virtual machines? (Choose all that apply.)
A.Pass-through disks are no longer being manufactured and, therefore, are difficult to obtain nowadays. B. Tests have demonstrated that fixed-size virtual hard disks perform almost as well as pass-through disks while also providing the flexibility benefits of virtual hard disks. C.Tests have demonstrated that dynamically expanding virtual hard disks perform almost as well as pass-through disks while also providing the flexibility benefits of virtual hard disks. D.Configuring a virtual machine to use a pass-through disk is a complex task that might introduce errors. |
Correct answers: B and C
A.Incorrect: A pass-through disk is a physical disk on the host that is attached to a virtual machine. Pass-through disks are thus simply standard hard drives, which are easily obtained. B. Correct: Tests by Microsoft have indeed demonstrated that fixed-size virtual hard disks perform almost as well as pass-through disks while also providing the flexibility benefits of virtual hard disks. C.Correct: Tests by Microsoft have indeed demonstrated that dynamically expanding virtual hard disks perform almost as well as pass-through disks while also providing the flexibility benefits of virtual hard disks.

Correct answers: A, C, and D
A.Correct: You should never perform snapshots on virtualized domain controllers B. Incorrect: You might consider performing a snapshot of a production virtual machine just before you apply a critical software update to the guest operating system of the virtual machine. That way, if something goes wrong after applying the update, you can quickly revert to the virtual machine to its previous state (that is, before the update was applied). C.Correct: You should never perform snapshots on virtualized workloads that use data distributed across multiple databases. D.Correct: You should never restore snapshots older than 30 days on domain-joined virtual machines. |

You want to enable DHCP Guard on a virtual network adapter on virtual machine SRV-B running on host HOST4. To do this, you run the following command:
Set-VMNetworkAdapter -ComputerName HOST4 -VMName SRV-B -DhcpGuard:$true Unfortunately, running this command returns the following error: Set-VMNetworkAdapter : Cannot bind parameter 'DhcpGuard'. Cannot convert value "True" to type "Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.OnOffState". Error: "Invalid cast from 'System.Boolean' to 'Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.OnOffState'." At line:1 char:67 + Set-VMNetworkAdapter -ComputerName HOST4 -VMName SRV-B -DhcpGuard:$true + ~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-VMNetworkAdapter], ParameterBindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Commands. SetVMNetworkAdapterCommand What is the reason for this error? A.The virtual network adapter does not support DHCP Guard. B. You forgot to include the –VMNetworkAdapter parameter in your command to specify which virtual network adapter you want to configure on the virtual machine. C.You should have specified –DhcpGuard ok instead of –DhcpGuard:$true in your command. D.You should have specified –DhcpGuard 1 instead of –DhcpGuard:$true in your command. |
Correct answers: A, B, and C
A.Correct: All virtual network adapters (except legacy network adapters) support DHCP Guard. B. Correct: While you should include the VMNetworkAdapter parameter in your command to specify which virtual network adapter you want to configure on the virtual machine, this is unnecessary if the virtual machine has only one adapter installed. C.Correct: Specifying –DhcpGuard ok also generates an error. D.Incorrect: Specifying –DhcpGuard 1 works, as does specifying –DhcpGuard On. The clue is in the string "Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.OnOffState", which indicates the data type accepted by this parameter. |

You have used Windows PowerShell to create two 5-TB data volumes on your file
server. The total free space on all connected physical disks is only 2 TBs. What feature of Storage Spaces makes this possible? A. Thin provisioning B. Fixed provisioning C. Mirror resiliency D. Parity resiliency |
Correct answer: A
A. Correct: With thin provisioning, the size of the virtual disk represents the maximum amount of physical storage space that can be allocated from the pool. No space is actually used, however, until data is stored on a volume on the virtual disk, and the amount of space used will grow or shrink as data is written to or deleted from the disk. B. Incorrect: With fixed provisioning, the size of the virtual disk is the actual amount of physical storage space allocated from the pool. C. Incorrect: With Mirror resiliency, the data on volumes created on this type of virtual disk is striped across all physical disks in the pool. Each segment of data is also duplicated on either two or three physical disks, as specified when the mirrored virtual disk is created, so that a copy of all data will still be available if a physical disk in the pool fails. D. Incorrect: With Parity resiliency, the data on volumes created on this type of virtual disk, together with parity information that can be used to facilitate automatic reconstruction of data if a physical disk fails, is striped across all physical disks in the pool. |

How would you get a computer joined to a domain using an offline domain join?
|
Run Djoin.exe at an elevated command prompt to provision the computer account metadata. When you run the provisioning command, the computer account metadata is created in a .txt file that you specify as part of the command. After you run the provisioning command, you can either run Djoin.exe again to request the computer account metadata and insert it into the Windows directory of the destination computer or you can save the computer account metadata in an Unattend.xml file and then specify the Unattend.xml file during an unattended operating system installation of the destination computer.
On the DC: djoin /provision /domain <YOUR DOMAIN HERE> /machine <MACHINE NAME HERE> /savefile c:\shared\blob.txt On the computer that needs to be joined: djoin /requestODJ /loadfile c:\shared\blob.txt /windowspath %SystemRoot* /localos |

How would you empty the recycle bin at the command prompt?
|
rd /s %systemdrive%\$Recycle.bin
So, to remove the directory, use the rd command (remove directory) with the /s parameter, which indicates that all of the files and directories within the specified directory should be removed as well This action will permanently delete all files and folders currently in the Recycle Bin from all user accounts. Additionally, you will (obviously) have to run the command from an elevated command prompt in order to have sufficient privileges to perform this action. The reason that this tactic works is because each drive has a hidden, protected folder with the name $Recycle.bin, which is where the Recycle Bin actually stores the deleted files and folders. When this directory is deleted, Windows automatically creates a new directory. |
