  A Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) is a file formatted to be structurally identical to a physical Hard Disk Drive. It is typically used in various virtualization packages, and can be used to install a wide variety of operating systems. A Virtual Hard Disk

  allows multiple operating systems to reside on a single host machine. This method enables developers to test software on different operating systems.

  VHDs are implemented as files that reside on the native host file system.

  Native VHD Boot refers to the ability of a physical computer to mount and boot from an operating system contained within a VHD. Windows 10 supports this ability using VHDX files, both with and without a host operating system to be present.

• Question 112:

  You work as a Server Administrator for company Inc. The company has a Windows Server 2016 based network environment. There are thirty client computers running Windows 10 and three servers running Windows Server 2016.

  You need to implement a system in the network that provides data access to heterogeneous network clients using SMB/CIFS.

  Which of the following will you use?

  A. Storage area network
  B. Failover clustering
  C. Datafile striping
  D. Network-attached storage
  D. Network-attached storage

  ---

  You should use Network-attached storage (NAS).

  Network-attached storage (NAS) is file-level computer data storage connected to a computer network providing data access to heterogeneous network clients. NAS systems contain one or more hard disks, often arranged into logical,

  redundant storage containers or RAID arrays.

  It removes the responsibility of file serving from other servers on the network. NAS uses file-based protocols, such as NFS, SMB/CIFS, or AFP.

  NAS units rarely limit clients to a single protocol.

  Incorrect Answers:

  A: Storage Area Networks are a specialized RAID array that can be accessed by multiple servers over a specialized network connection. A host bus adapter is required on servers that use the Storage Area Networks. The Storage Area Networks administrator partitions the available storage into logical unit numbers and assigns them to the servers. The disk volume shown in Disk manager is logical unit numbers. SAN use block-level protocols such as iSCSI or Fiber Channel. They do not use SMB or CIFS.

  B: Failover clustering is a technique used in the Windows Server 2016 environment to provide high availability of applications.

  C: Datafile striping, also referred to as striping, is a technique used to enhance the I/O of datafiles. In this technique, a large datafile is split into smaller datafiles and the latter are then stored on separate disks. Hence, striping allows quicker I/ Os by reading or writing through multiple read-write heads of the disks (which store the datafiles that have been split) operating in parallel. This technique is of great help in parallel processing where throughput is of prime concern.

  Basic disks are the storage types most often used with Windows. The term basic disk refers to a disk that contains partitions, such as primary partitions and logical drives, and these in turn are usually formatted with a file system to become a volume for file storage. You can add more space to existing primary partitions and logical drives by extending them into adjacent, contiguous unallocated space on the same disk. To extend a basic volume, it must be formatted with the NTFS file system. You can extend a logical drive within contiguous free space in the extended partition that contains it. If you extend a logical drive beyond the free space available in the extended partition, the extended partition grows to contain the logical drive as long as the extended partition is followed by contiguous unallocated space. Dynamic disks provide features that basic disks do not, such as the ability to create volumes that span multiple disks (spanned and striped volumes) and the ability to create fault-tolerant volumes (mirrored and RAID-5 volumes). Like basic disks, dynamic disks can use the MBR or GPT partition styles on systems that support both. All volumes on dynamic disks are known as dynamic volumes. Dynamic disks offer greater flexibility for volume management because they use a database to track information about dynamic volumes on the disk and about other dynamic disks in the computer.

• Question 116:

  You work as a Server Administrator for company Inc. The company has a Windows-based network environment.

  You need to make a balance between accessibility, security, and cost while planning for backup.

  Which of the following management methods will allow you to switch to the backup site while repairing the primary site?

  A. Near-line
  B. Backup site
  C. Off-line
  D. On-line
  B. Backup site

  ---

  You should use the backup site management method.

  This method allows you to switch to the backup site while repairing the primary site. It is a very expensive solution and it is difficult to implement this solution properly.

  Incorrect Answers:

  A: The near-line method is less accessible and less expensive than the on- line method. It is used to include a tape library with restore times ranging from seconds to a few minutes.

  C: The off-line method requires some direct human action to manually load tapes into a tape library or drive. Access time can vary from minutes to hours or days.

  D: The on-line method is the most accessible type of data storage in which hard disks or disk arrays are used. In this method, restore begins in milliseconds.

• Question 117:

  You work as a System Administrator for company Inc. You have deployed a workstation and roll it out to production, but you find some issues with the video display.

  The display worked in the beginning when you first set up the system. The video has degraded to standard VGA 640x800 and its performance is badly affected after applying several system and driver updates.

  What is the most likely cause of this issue?

  A. The video adapter is not properly placed on the system board.
  B. The video card is not enabled on the system.
  C. You need to upgrade RAM according to the video driver.
  D. You have installed an unsigned video driver.
  D. You have installed an unsigned video driver.

  ---

  In the given scenario, the video problem occurred because of the installation of an unsigned video driver. For better performance, you should always use a device driver that is signed by Microsoft. Unsigned drivers are not compatible with all

  systems. They may be poorly written and may include viruses or malware.

  Incorrect Answers:

  A, B: If the video adapter is not properly placed on the system board or the video card is not enabled, you do not get the video clip in the beginning when you first set up the system.

  C: It is not required to upgrade RAM.

  C. VPN
  D. SMTP
  A. FTP

  ---

  File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used to transfer files to or from a server. Most FTP sites are used primarily to download files. In most of these situations, FTP uses anonymous authentication, in which username and password are not required.

• Question 120:

  Which of the following is described in the following statement:

  "It is a 512 bytes long boot sector that is the first sector of a default boot drive. It is also known as Volume Boot Sector, if the boot drive is un-partitioned."

  A. POST
  B. BIOS
  C. SBR
  D. MBR
  D. MBR

  ---

  The Master Boot Sector (MBR) is a 512-byte long boot sector that is the first sector of a default boot drive.

  It is also known as Volume Boot Sector, if the boot drive is un-partitioned.

  When the MBR is found, the program is tested and loaded to ensure that the last two bytes are h55AA.

  The actual program is only 444 bytes long. The structure of the MBR is as follows:

  

  Incorrect Answers:

  A: Power On Self Test (POST) is a small program stored in a Read Only Memory (ROM) Basic Input Output System (BIOS) of a computer system starting at address hf000. This program tests the basic motherboard functions such as power supply, memory, buses, interfaces, etc. and reports any error with audio beep codes. It also sends diagnostic code to internal port h80 if an error occurs.

  B: Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is software that manages hardware and enables the operating system to communicate with the computer's hardware components. The BIOS software is built-in on a ROM chip, known as Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) chip, on the motherboard.

  C: This is not a valid option.
