When you partition and format a disk, the process creates a table containing file and folder information for the file system. Which of the following are tables supported by Windows Server 2016 formatted for NTFS? (Choose all that apply.)

Globally Unique Identifier Partition Table

Sector Extending Partition Table

Extensible Unique Block Partition Table

Master Boot Record with partition table

Which of the following can be configured when your server is using dynamic disks? (Choose all that apply.)

Simple volume

Spare volume

Striped volume

Spanned volume

Your server has a 1 TB volume that is only one-fifth used. You would like to recover the unused portion of this volume as unallocated disk space. What process can you use?

You’ll have to back up the volume, repartition it, and then restore the files to one of the partitions.

Use opaque formatting to recover the unused space.

Shrink the volume.

Use the partition tool to create an unused pool.

You are consulting for a company that has been performing full backups every night for its Windows Server 2016 servers. A problem they have been experiencing is that the backups are taking longer and longer. What is your recommendation for this company?

Perform the full backups in zip mode, which cuts the backup time in half.

Use a custom backup that enables you to use a combination of full and incremental backups.

Use a copy backup, which copies every other folder each time it runs.

Purchase disk drives with smaller spindles for faster rotation.

Your business needs to have storage that is quickly accessed for customer service representatives who work the phones and storage for high capacity use, such as for data and application files used internally by company employees. Which of the following solutions do you recommend?

A storage pool that uses SSD and SATA disks using tiered storage places

Basic disks configured as spanned disks

Dynamic disks configured with data optimization

A RAID array containing small disks that provide fast access while achieving high capacity storage

As the IT director for a large investment company, you are always looking for ways to build in better fault tolerance for your computer systems and versatile disk handling. As you consider your present hard disk storage situation, you have a large iSCSI SAN connected to the main network through a high-speed switch. You also have Solid State Drives and SAS drives built into individual computers. Which of the following technologies gives you the most versatility for this kind of storage, while allowing you to have redundancy?

Traditional RAID level 1

Serial RAID

Dynamic disk

Storage Spaces

Which of the following can you restore from the Windows Server Backup tool? (Choose all that apply.)

Subfolders

Volumes

Folders

The operating system

Your company uses RAID arrays to help ensure the most uptime for access to its data. Each RAID array can be connected using two cables for extra redundancy. What Windows Server 2016 capability do you need to install to take advantage of the two-cable connectivity?

Disk mirroring

RAID duplexing

Multipath I/O

Storage switching

You have spent the morning archiving old files to DVDs and then deleting those files as a way to get back some disk space. Also, you’ve recovered some archived financial files to prepare for the auditor’s visit. After you finish, you notice that the server seems to run slower. What should you do?

Start the Optimize tool to defrag your disks.

Perform a full backup. Reformat the disk and then perform a recovery from your backup.

Use the Disk Check tool to retrieve contiguous disk space.

Use Device Manager to perform a disk verification.

Windows Server 2016 has automatically identified some damaged disk areas on your organization’s server. Which of the following tools should you run to fix these damaged areas (with users off your system)?

Disk Check

Disk Clean

Chkdsk /i

Chkdsk /spotfix

Your new IT colleague is trying to determine the location of a mounted drive on the server because he is not sure what a mounted drive is. Which of the following do you tell him?

A mounted drive is always a DVD mounted in the DVD drive.

A mounted drive is located in a folder.

Because Windows Server 2016 does not support floppy drives, a mounted drive is always drive A.

A mounted drive is always a drive used by UNIX and Linux clients for sharing folders and files on Windows Server 2016 and is designated as drive U.

When you use software RAID level 5, recognize that you must have __________ additional memory for system functions related to RAID.

16 MB

Explain disk duplexing.

In disk duplexing the information on a main disk is shadowed or mirrored on a second disk. If the main disk fails, the mirrored disk is used. Disk duplexing is different than disk mirroring, however because it places the backup disk on a different controller or adapter than is used by the main disk – which provides better fault tolerance.

You have configured a RAID-5 volume using five 750 GB disks. How much disk space is actually available for storage of folders and files?

1875 GB

2812.5 GB

3000 GB

3750 GB
