Best Answer Lesson 1
Choose the letter that corresponds to the best answer. More than one answer choice may achieve the
goal. Select the BEST answer.

1. You are deciding which Windows Server 2012 edition is right for your needs: a Remote

Access server. You are eager to create a virtual machine (VM) on which you can install
a virtual operating system environment (VOSE). You foresee needing only one VOSE.
What Windows Server 2012 edition is best?

1. Windows Server 2012 Datacenter edition
2. Windows Server 2012 Standard edition
3. Windows Server 2012 Foundation edition
4. Windows Server 2012 Essentials edition

2. Your company wants to upgrade to Windows Server 2012. Considering the present environment

2. Windows Server 2012 provides hardware-independent NIC teaming or bonding to

enable better network performance and adapter fault-tolerance. However, in what scenario
is the NIC teaming limited?

1. During a Hyper-V live migrationNIC teaming has one significant limitation. If your traffic consists of large TCP sequences,such as a Hyper-V live migration, the system avoids using multiple adapters for thosesequences to minimize the number of lost and out-of-order TCP segments. You therefore donot realize any performance increase for large fi le transfers using TCP.
2. When network adapters connect to different switches
3. When network traffic consists of large TCP sequences
4. For multiple network adapters to function as one interface

2. Use Server Manager on the nearest Windows Server 2012
3. Connect to the target server using Remote Desktop Services
4. Using PowerShell, install the desired role to all target servers at once

4. What is the advantage of deploying roles to a virtual hard disk (VHD) file?
5. Administrators can use Server Manager to modify VHD files
6. An administrator can modify server roles to offline virtual machines (VMs) without

starting the VM page 51

1. An administrator can modify server roles to offline VMs without connecting the VM

to the network

1. VHD files require fewer resources (for example, hard drive space)

5. What is the key benefit behind delegating server administration?
6. In larger networks, delegation uses permissions to restrict access Page 54
7. In smaller networks, delegation provides formalized synergy
8. In larger networks, delegation improves prioritization of tasks
9. In smaller networks, delegation creates employment opportunities

Configuring Servers | 57

2. Windows Server 2012 provides hardware-independent NIC teaming or bonding to

enable better network performance and adapter fault-tolerance. However, in what scenario
is the NIC teaming limited?

1. During a Hyper-V live migrationNIC teaming has one significant limitation. If your traffic consists of large TCP sequences,such as a Hyper-V live migration, the system avoids using multiple adapters for thosesequences to minimize the number of lost and out-of-order TCP segments. You therefore donot realize any performance increase for large fi le transfers using TCP.
2. When network adapters connect to different switches
3. When network traffic consists of large TCP sequences
4. For multiple network adapters to function as one interface

3. As an administrator of a Windows Server 2012 network, you want to add a role to a few

servers on the network. What is your best available option?

1. Install a role at the target server’s console
2. Use Server Manager on the nearest Windows Server 2012
3. Connect to the target server using Remote Desktop Services
4. Using PowerShell, install the desired role to all target servers at once

4. What is the advantage of deploying roles to a virtual hard disk (VHD) file?
5. Administrators can use Server Manager to modify VHD files
6. An administrator can modify server roles to offline virtual machines (VMs) without

starting the VM page 51

1. An administrator can modify server roles to offline VMs without connecting the VM

to the network

1. VHD files require fewer resources (for example, hard drive space)

5. What is the key benefit behind delegating server administration?
6. In larger networks, delegation uses permissions to restrict access Page 54
7. In smaller networks, delegation provides formalized synergy
8. In larger networks, delegation improves prioritization of tasks
9. In smaller networks, delegation creates employment opportunities

BEST Answer Lesson 3
Choose the letter that corresponds to the best answer. More than one answer choice may achieve the
goal. Select the BEST answer.

Learning Team: Diagram Current Local Campus Network in SIM Part I

The South Dakota Campus with its 45 full-time employees has recently increased its enrollment to 1500 students per night. The increase in student population has had a significant slowdown in the network connectivity in the classroom. Reports have stated that it can take up to twenty minutes, sometimes longer, to get connected to the online classroom or to get to the Internet. The campus is using a Cisco 3500 Router and a Cisco Switch that is wired to the access points in each classroom.
Your team has been tasked to determine the root cause of this problem. The analysis should begin by taking a holistic view of the network diagram to understand the topology. Then, progress through the OSI model to find the problem. Also, look for potential choke points that could cause a significant network slowdown. After locating the potential cause of the problem, design a network with the proposed solution.
Develop a diagram in Microsoft^® Visio^®, Word, or PowerPoint^® based on the description provided above of the current South Dakota network. Assumptions can be made in order complete the diagram. The finished diagram should include the following:

Reports have stated that it can take up to twenty minutes, sometimes longer, to get connected to the online classroom or to get to the Internet.
Your team has been tasked with determining the root cause of this problem. The troubleshooting should begin by taking a holistic view of the network diagram to understand the topology. Then, progress through the OSI model to find the problem. Also, look for potential choke points that could cause a significant network slowdown. After you have found the cause of the problem, design a network with the proposed solution. Develop a business proposal and presentation that highlight the problem, the solution, implementation plan, and cost to implement. In doing so, please include any assumptions that your team has made related to the current South Dakota campus network.
