Question 3

Linwood is the IT manager of a small organization, Turtle Designs, with less than 50 employees. Caroline, his boss, asks him to set up a computer that will act as the central repository for the company's data. Linwood estimates the costs and suggests using an Internet-based service instead. What is Linwood recommending in this scenario?
A) An on-premise server
B) A cloud-based server
C) A client
D) A network

Accepted Answer

Linwood is suggesting using an Internet-based service, which is a characteristic of a cloud-based server. This would be a more cost-effective solution for a small organization rather than setting up an on-premise server. A client is a computer or device that accesses the server, and a network is the infrastructure connecting the devices, but neither of these is the solution that Linwood is recommending.

Question 4

Storage pinning is the process of planning hardware for a specific server within an organization.

Accepted Answer

Storage pinning actually refers to the process of fixing or "pinning" certain data to specific storage media, such as SSDs, within a storage system to ensure performance or availability, rather than planning hardware for a specific server.

Question 12

Nadira is testing an application that needs to work on multiple operating systems. For this purpose, she uses Hyper-V to set up a Windows Server 2019 virtual machine (named VM1) and a Linux-based virtual machine (named VM2) on her host Windows 10 operating system. She sets up a third virtual machine, Windows Server 2012 (named VM3), to test the compatibility of the application between Windows Server 2019 and 2012 versions. Which of the following must be true if VM3 was set up successfully using nested virtualization?
A) Nadira removed VM2 to accommodate VM3.
B) Nadira powered off VM1, ran a PowerShell command, and powered on VM1.
C) Nadira ran the following PowerShell command: Get-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName VM3 | Set-VMNetworkAdapter -MacAddressSpoofing On.
D) Nadira enabled nested virtualization in Windows 10 using a PowerShell command.
