70-413 Exam Server Deployment and Virtualization 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Hyper-V component enables multiple virtual machines to share physical network adapters through virtual network connections?
- Virtual Switch (Correct answer)
- Network Adapter Teaming
- SR-IOV passthrough
- Virtual NIC
Correct answer: Virtual Switch
A Hyper-V Virtual Switch is a software-based Layer 2 network switch that allows VMs to communicate with each other and the physical network through shared adapters.
Question 2: What WSUS feature automatically approves updates based on configured criteria such as classification, product, and target computer group?
- Computer Groups
- Automatic Approval Rules (Correct answer)
- Synchronization Schedule
- Update Classifications
Correct answer: Automatic Approval Rules
Automatic Approval Rules in WSUS evaluate incoming updates against defined criteria and approve them for specified computer groups without manual administrator action.
Question 3: Which Hyper-V virtual disk type gives a virtual machine direct access to a physical disk, bypassing the virtualization layer for maximum I/O performance?
- Dynamically Expanding VHD
- Fixed-Size VHD
- Pass-through Disk (Correct answer)
- Differencing VHD
Correct answer: Pass-through Disk
Pass-through disks connect a VM directly to a physical disk or LUN, eliminating the VHD abstraction layer overhead for the highest possible disk I/O performance.
Question 4: What is the purpose of WDS Prestaging when deploying computers in a domain environment?
- Pre-downloading updates before the OS install
- Linking a computer's GUID or MAC address to a pre-created AD computer account (Correct answer)
- Pre-configuring static IP addresses for new computers
- Pre-installing device drivers before OS deployment
Correct answer: Linking a computer's GUID or MAC address to a pre-created AD computer account
WDS Prestaging maps a specific computer's GUID or MAC address to a pre-created Active Directory computer account, controlling which image is deployed to that machine.
Question 5: Which Hyper-V feature creates a point-in-time copy of a virtual machine's state, configuration, and data that can be used to revert the VM to a previous state?
- VM Export
- Live Migration
- Checkpoint (Correct answer)
- Hyper-V Replica
Correct answer: Checkpoint
Hyper-V Checkpoints (formerly called Snapshots) capture the complete state of a running VM so it can be restored to that exact point if needed.
Question 6: What Windows Server capability, when combined with Hyper-V Live Migration, allows virtual machines to remain running during planned host maintenance by transparently moving them to another cluster node?
- Hyper-V Replica
- Dynamic Memory
- Failover Clustering (Correct answer)
- Network Load Balancing
Correct answer: Failover Clustering
Failover Clustering combined with Hyper-V Live Migration enables administrators to drain a host node of its VMs transparently before performing maintenance.
