ch 12 - Server Management

You manage a network with a single location. You want to use WSUS to make sure that only approved updates are applied to all client computers. Client computers should download all approved updates from a WSUS server in your location. You install WSUS on one server. You synchronize the list of updates on the server, and approve the updates that you want applied to client computers. You check the client computers and find that only the approved updates are being applied, but updates are being downloaded from the Microsoft Update website and not your local WSUS server. What should you do?

Edit the WSUS server properties to store updates locally on the server.

You want to monitor memory statistics your windows server named Srv12. During the afternoon, users report that the server is running slow. You want to gather memory statistics for the server every week day between the hours of noon and 4 pm. You do not need data for the server outside of those hours. In Performance Monitor, you create a new Data Collector Set and add the required Data Collectors for the statistics you want to monitor. What should you do to complete the configuration? (Select two. Each choice is a required part of the solution.)

Edit the properties of the Data Collector Set. Create a schedule for Monday through Friday at noon. Edit the properties of the Data Collector Set. Configure a stop condition overall duration of 4 hours.

You are troubleshooting a custom application on a windows server named Srv4. On a periodic basis, the application writes or modifies several registry entries. You want to monitor these registry keys so that you can create a report that shows their corresponding settings over the next 5 days. What should you do?

In Performance Monitor, configure a configuration data collector.

You manage a Windows server that is used to store user data files. You install a tape drive in the server. Following the installation, you check Device Manager and the device appears to be working correctly. You run Windows Server Backup and start the Backup Schedule wizard. After configuring the schedule, you get a message stating that there is no available backup destination. What should you do?

Add a new external hard disk to the system.

You want to monitor processor and memory utilization on Srv4. You create a single Data Collector Set configured to save log files every day. You add the processor and memory Data Collectors to the Data Collector Set. After running the Data Collector Set for several days, you have several separate log files. You would like to compare the statistics for the first day with the statistics reported for the last day. In particular, you would like to be able to see a single graph that lines up the processor utilization on an hour-by-hour basis. What should you do?

At a command prompt, run the Perfmon /sys multiple times to open a view of each log file. Use the Compare option to transparently overlay each log onto the first log.

You want to monitor processor and memory utilization on Srv4. You create a single Data Collector Set configured to save log files every day. You add the processor and memory Data Collectors to the Data Collector Set. After running the Data Collector Set for several days, you have several separate log files. You would like to combine the multiple files into a single view so you can see a graphic in Performance Monitor for the entire time period. What should you do? (Select two. Each choice is a possible solution.)

At a command prompt, run the Relog command. Open the resulting log in Performance Monitor. In Performance Monitor, use the View Log Data option to select all log files in the range. Expand the date range to include all log files.

You manage a network with two locations: San Jose and Oakland. The two networks are connected with a WAN link, and each site has its own Internet connection. Srvl is in San Jose, and Srv2 is in Oakland. You decide to implement a WSUS solution using Srvl and Srv2 as WSUS servers. Your solution should meet the following requirements: Client computers should contact the WSUS server in their site for a list of approvals and download the updates from the WSUS server in their site. All updates for both sites are approved from Srvl. You must minimize traffic on the WAN link between the two sites. You have completed the configuration of the WSUS server in the San Jose location. How should you configure Srv2 in Oakland to meet the design requirements?

Configure Srv2 to synchronize with Srvl as a downstream server to Srv1. Configure the server to store updates locally, and to download updates from Microsoft Update.

You manage a network with two locations: San Jose and Oakland. The two networks are connected with a WAN link, and each site has its own Internet connection. You decide to implement a WSUS solution with a single WSUS server in the San Jose location.

Not only that, but the backup from the previous day no longer exists. You want to make sure that you can save multiple backups to the shared folder, if possible. If a backup fails, it should not affect existing backups. What should you do?

Configure the script to save the backups in subfolders in the shared folder.

You have configured Windows Server Backup to take regular backups once a day and save those backups to an external disk. You find that users working on a new project are constantly overwriting files and asking you to restore older versions of files that exist on backups from as far back as a week ago. You would like to implement a solution so that users can restore files without an administrator's help. What should you do?

Enable VSS on the volume that holds user data.

You manage a Windows server that stores user data files. You have previously configured several scheduled backups in Windows Server Backup. A user comes to you wanting a file restored from a recent backup. You check your backup media and find that you have a DVD from today. You also have a hard disk with a backup taken last night, but that disk is stored in an offsite location. You need to restore the file as soon as possible with the least amount of disruption to other users. What should you do?

Go get the hard disk with last night's backup. Run the Recovery Wizard using the backup on the disk.

You need to view a list of infected files that Windows Defender has quarantined. Click the option in windows defender you would use to do this.
