Microsoft Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services Sample Questions:
Question #1
You have a Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFQ that has the following configurations:
* Name: App1
* Owner node: Node3
* Type: Generic Application
The General settings for App1 are shown in the General exhibit. (Click the General tab.) The Failover settings for App1 are shown in the Failover exhibit. (Click the Failover tab.) The Advanced Policies settings for App1 are shown in the Advanced Policies exhibit. (Click the Advanced Policies tab.) For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
CORRECTED ANSWER: You can move App1 to Node4 manually: No. If Node3 fails, App1 will fail over to Node2 automatically: No. If App1 automatically fails over from Node3, App1 will fail back to Node3 automatically after Node3 is repaired: No.
Detailed Explanation
App1 ' s General tab shows its current owner as Node2, so a failure of Node3 - a node App1 is not running on - has no clustered workload to relocate, and therefore triggers no automatic failover to Node2 or any other node; failover only occurs when the node currently hosting a role fails. Automatic failback in Windows Server Failover Clustering always targets the highest-priority node that is checked in the role ' s Preferred Owners list on the General tab - never simply " whichever node it most recently ran on " - and since only Node1 and Node2 are checked as Preferred Owners for App1 (Node3 is unchecked), App1 can never automatically fail back to Node3, even though the Failover tab has " Allow failback: Immediately " configured. Whether App1 can be moved to Node4 manually is governed by the Possible Owners list on the Advanced Policies tab (a separate setting from Preferred Owners), which for this role excludes Node4 as a valid host.

Question #2
You have three servers named Server1, Server2, Server3 that run Windows Server and have the Hyper-V server role installed.
You plan to create a hyper-converged cluster to host Hyper-V virtual machines.
You need to ensure that you can store virtual machines in Storage Spaces Direct.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Exhibit
Exhibit
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation
Deploying a Storage Spaces Direct hyper-converged cluster follows a fixed sequence: first the Failover Clustering feature is used to create and validate the cluster across Server1, Server2, and Server3; only after the cluster exists can Storage Spaces Direct be enabled on it (which pools the local/shared disks across the nodes into a single software-defined storage pool); and volumes (which back the Cluster Shared Volumes used to store the Hyper-V virtual machines) are created from that pool afterward. Actions like creating a DFS namespace, a Scale-Out File Server role, or a file share are unrelated to hosting VM storage on S2D volumes and are not part of this sequence.

Question #3
Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain that has the Active Directory Recycle Bin enabled. The domain contains two domain controllers named DC1 and DC2. The system state of the domain controllers is backed up daily at 23:00 by using Windows Server Backup.
You have an organizational unit (OU) named ParisUsers that contains 1,000 users.
At 08:00, DC1 shuts down for hardware maintenance. The maintenance completes, but DC1 remains shut down.
At 09:00, an administrative error causes the manager attribute of each user in ParisUsers to be deleted.
You need to recover the user account details as quickly as possible. The solution must minimize data loss.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
CORRECTED ANSWER: Start DC1 in Directory Services Restore Mode > Perform an authoritative restore on DC1 > Start DC1 normally.
Detailed Explanation
Because DC1 was shut down at 08:00-before the 09:00 deletion of the manager attribute-its on-disk Active Directory database already holds the correct, pre-incident values for every affected user, making it what Microsoft ' s guidance calls a " latent " domain controller that never replicated the bad change. In this exact scenario, official troubleshooting guidance for restoring accidentally modified or deleted AD data explains that when an unaffected domain controller is available, you can skip a system state restore entirely: boot that domain controller into Directory Services Restore Mode to isolate it from inbound replication, then use ntdsutil to perform an authoritative restore, which raises the version numbers on the affected objects so they win when replicated outward. Restarting DC1 normally afterward pushes its authoritative, correct manager attribute values out to DC2 and any other domain controllers. Restoring system state from the prior night ' s
23:00 backup at this point would actually reintroduce more data loss, since it would discard any legitimate changes made between 23:00 and DC1 ' s 08:00 shutdown-exactly what the minimize-data-loss requirement is designed to avoid. The Active Directory Recycle Bin does not help here because it recovers deleted objects, not attribute values that were cleared on objects that still exist.

Question #4
You have a Windows Server 2022 Storage Spaces Direct cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 has four nodes that contain virtual machines.
You need to perform an in-place upgrade of Cluster! to Windows Server 2025. The solution must ensure that the virtual machines are always available during the upgrade.
In which order should you perform the actions? To answer, move all actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Exhibit
Exhibit
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation
To keep virtual machines available while performing an in-place OS upgrade of a Storage Spaces Direct node, the node is first paused and drained (Suspend-ClusterNode -Drain) so its cluster roles, including running VMs, move to other nodes. The node ' s storage is then placed into storage maintenance mode, which stops it from participating in the storage pool ' s redundancy operations while its physical disks are offline for the upgrade. With the node drained and its storage quiesced, the in-place Windows Server 2025 upgrade is performed, and afterward storage maintenance mode is removed so the node ' s disks rejoin the pool and Storage Spaces Direct resynchronizes data before the node resumes cluster roles.

Question #5
Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain. The domain contains two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server.
You need to ensure that you can use the Computer Management console to manage Server2. The solution must use the principle of least privilege.
Which two Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security rules should you enable on Server2? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. the COM+ Network Access (DCOM-ln) rule
- B. the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI-ln) rule
- C. the COM+ Remote Administration (DCOM-ln) rule
- D. all the rules in the Remote Event Log Management group
- E. the Windows Management Instrumentation (DCOM-ln) rule
