Catelin creates a virtual machine template named WindowsServer2019VMTemplate. She wants to import this template, so she opens the Import Virtual Machine wizard in Hyper-V Manager on SERVERX and proceeds with the process. She specifies the location D:\VMS\Win2019VM1 for the configuration files and virtual hard disks. When Catelin clicks Finish during the last step and the virtual machine is created, what name will it have? A. WindowsServer2019VMTemplate B. SERVERX C. Win2019VM1 D. It will not have a name.
A. WindowsServer2019VMTemplate Analysis: a. Correct. When a new virtual machine is created based on the virtual machine template, it will be given the same name as the virtual machine template within Hyper-V Manager. Catelin should select it, click Rename in the Actions pane, and supply the same name chosen within the virtual machine folder paths, Win2019VM1. b. Incorrect. The server name is not used for the newly created virtual machine. c. Incorrect. Catelin can rename the virtual machine as Win2019VM1, but this is not the name given to the newly created virtual machine. d. Incorrect. The virtual machine will be created with a default name.
Deion is creating a new virtual machine using the New Virtual Machine Wizard. After choosing the generation for his virtual machine, he is prompted to select the memory and an optional choice to enable the use of dynamic memory. He consults a colleague, Kanesha, and they decide against enabling dynamic memory. What is the most likely reason that prompted this decision? A. Deion chose Generation 2 in the previous step. B. Deion intends to use this virtual machine in a nested virtualization configuration. C. Deion allocates 1024 MB of startup memory, which is sufficient to run most operating systems. D. Deion intends to run Windows Server 2019 on this virtual machine.
B. Deion intends to use this virtual machine in a nested virtualization configuration. Analysis: a. Incorrect. Deion's decision to choose Generation 2 in the previous step should not influence his decision to not enable dynamic memory in this step. b. Correct. If Deion intends to use this virtual machine in a nested virtualization configuration, the decision to not use dynamic memory is correct. Dynamic memory should not be enabled if you use nested virtualization, as memory resource utilization cannot be efficiently managed between two different Hyper-V hypervisors. c. Incorrect. 1024 MB is sufficient to run small footprint versions of Windows Server, LINUX, or UNIX. For other environments, it is advisable to use more memory or scale according to the needs of the applications and services installed. d. Incorrect. This reason neither justifies the decision to proceed without enabling dynamic memory nor makes a case against it.
Fareeda, a system administrator, is configuring the security settings for a Generation 2 virtual machine called VM1. She enables the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Next, she wants to encrypt the virtual hard disks for VM1 so that other virtual machines are restricted from using these hard disks. If the virtual hard disks are successfully encrypted, which of the following statements must be true? A. Secure Boot is disabled by default in Generation 2 virtual machines. B. Fareeda enabled shielding in the security settings for VM1. C. Fareeda selected the option to Encrypt state and virtual machine traffic. D. BitLocker contains the encryption keys.
B. Fareeda enabled shielding in the security settings for VM1. Analysis: a. Incorrect. Secure Boot is enabled by default within Generation 2 virtual machines; however, this is unrelated to the encryption of the virtual hard disks. b. Correct. If the virtual hard disks are successfully encrypted, the most likely explanation is that Fareeda enabled shielding in the security settings for VM1. If you enable shielding, BitLocker will be used to encrypt virtual hard disks so that they cannot be used on another virtual machine, using encryption keys that are stored in the TPM. c. Incorrect. This option is unrelated to the encryption of virtual hard disks. If Fareeda selected this option, it will enable the encryption of live migration traffic. d. Incorrect. If BitLocker was used to encrypt the virtual hard disks, the encryption keys would be stored in the TPM.
Freya notices some performance issues with an important Generation 2 virtual machine. She realizes that the issue is caused by the presence of other virtual hard disks on the same physical disk. She has another physical hard disk on her system that is currently underutilized. She decides to use this disk as a pass-through disk to enhance the performance of the virtual machine. If Freya was able to accomplish this task successfully, which of the following must be true? A. Freya deleted the virtual disk from her system. B. Freya changed the physical disk's settings to take it offline. C. Freya removed the virtual hard drive from the virtual machine. D. Freya used the Browse option under the virtual hard drive settings.
B. Freya changed the physical disk's settings to take it offline. Analysis: a. Incorrect. Deleting the virtual disk from Freya's system is not a requirement for the physical hard disk to be used as a pass-through disk. b. Correct. To use a physical hard disk as a pass-through disk, it has to be taken offline first, and this is most likely what Freya did. c. Incorrect. Removing the virtual hard drive from Freya's system is not a requirement for the physical hard disk to be used as a pass-through disk. d. Incorrect. Choosing Browse will allow Freya to replace the current virtual hard disk file with another existing one. She cannot use this option to replace a virtual hard disk with a physical hard disk.

Isabella configures three virtual machines, VM1, VM2, and VM3, on a Windows Server 2019 host. The host and VM1 are connected to a physical switch (external virtual switch). VM1 and VM2 are connected to a private virtual switch. VM2 and the host are connected to an internal virtual switch. VM3 is not connected to any switch. Isabella is building an application that provides clients access to confidential financial information in a secure database. Isabella chooses to run the application on the host server and decides to implement an N-tier security design to protect the database. Where should Isabella place the database? A. On the host server B. On VM1 C. On VM2 D. On VM3
C. On VM2 Analysis: a. Incorrect. Since the host server is running the application, that is not the best place to place the database. An N-tier security design requires that users pass through a number of systems (N) that implement security measures before gaining access to sensitive data. b. Incorrect. VM1 and the host server are connected to the same physical switch. This configuration forwards data packets without monitoring them, so VM1 is not a good choice to host the database. An N-tier security design requires that users pass through a number of systems (N) that implement security measures before gaining access to sensitive data. c. Correct. VM2 is the best choice to place the database because VM2 and the host are connected to an internal virtual switch. Any users trying to access the database in VM2 can only do so through the application running on the host. This type of data security design is called N-tier, as it requires that users pass through a number of systems (N) that implement security measures before gaining access to sensitive data. d. Incorrect. VM3 is not connected to any switch, so users will not be able to access the database. Although the most secure, this configuration does not allow access to any data. An N-tier security design requires that users pass through a number of systems (N) that implement security measures before gaining access to sensitive data.
Devansh creates a checkpoint on his virtual machine before making some Windows Registry changes. After making these changes, he runs a test to verify that the virtual machine is working as intended.

Which of the following is true of this scenario? A. The modifications within the checkpoint file will be merged into the virtual hard disk. B. Devansh can choose to reverse the Windows Registry modifications while retaining other modifications. C. The checkpoint file that is used to reverse the changes will be deleted from the system. D. The checkpoint file will replace the current virtual hard disk file.
C. The checkpoint file that is used to reverse the changes will be deleted from the system. Analysis: a. Incorrect. The modifications within the checkpoint file will be merged into the virtual hard disk only if Devansh deletes the checkpoint file. b. Incorrect. Devansh cannot choose to retain specific changes from the checkpoint file. c. Correct. When Devansh applies the checkpoint to revert the virtual system to its earlier state, the checkpoint file that is used will be deleted. d. Incorrect. When Devansh applies the checkpoint to revert the virtual system to its earlier state, the checkpoint file will not replace the current virtual hard disk file.

What is the advantage of using production checkpoints over standard checkpoints? A. Production checkpoints are applied without shutting down the guest operating system. B. Unlike production checkpoints, standard checkpoints use a backup service provided by the guest operating system. C. Unlike standard checkpoints, production checkpoints are created automatically whenever a virtual machine starts. D. Production checkpoints cause fewer problems than standard checkpoints when applied.
D. Production checkpoints cause fewer problems than standard checkpoints when applied. Analysis: a. Incorrect. If you apply a production checkpoint, the guest operating system will shut down to perform the action. After you start the virtual machine again, you can safely delete this checkpoint if you do not plan to make other potentially problematic modifications. b. Incorrect. Production checkpoints are the ones that use the backup service provided by the guest operating system, which makes them less resource-intensive. c. Incorrect. You can enable automatic checkpoints for both types of checkpoints. When enabled, a checkpoint will be created automatically each time the virtual machine starts, replacing the previously created automatic checkpoint. d. Correct. Compared with standard checkpoints, production checkpoints cause fewer problems, as they do not save the state of running programs. Hyper-V uses production checkpoints by default.
