A company has Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain controllers that run on Windows Server 2012 R2 servers. There are two forests, and each has a single domain. There is a two-way forest trust between the forests. The company uses Hyper-V for server virtualization. The Hyper-V environment contains the Hyper-V host servers as shown in the following table:
---
You prepare to deploy System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager (DPM) to back up the Hyper-V environment. The deployment must meet the following requirements:
ensure that all Hyper-V servers can be backed up by using DPM Hyper-V hosts in the perimeter network must use certificate-based authentication Hyper-V hosts in the internal network must use Kerberos authentication minimize the total number of DPM servers
You need to deploy DPM to the environment.
What should you deploy?
An organization uses System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager (DPM).
Backups of virtual machines that are hosted on local volumes complete successfully. Backups of virtual machines that are hosted on storage area network (SAN) volumes fail. You receive the following error message in the Windows Event Log:
Backup failed with the following error An error occurred:
Writer 'Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer' reported an error: 'VSS_WS_FAILED_AT_FREEZE'. Check the application component to verify it is in a valid state for the operation.
You need to ensure that all backups can complete successfully.
What should you do?
HOTSPOT
You are the virtualization administrator for an organization. You use System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) to configure a virtual machine (VM) template that will host a new application.
You have the following requirements for new VMs that host the application:
- New VMs must be highly available. - You must join the VMs to an Active Directory Domain Services domain at deployment.
You need to modify the VM template to support the requirements.
On the properties page for the template, which two settings should you configure? To
answer, select the appropriate settings in the answer area.

You administer a Windows Server 2012 R2 server that has the Hyper-V role installed. You plan to test an update to a virtual machine (VM) in a production environment. You must meet the following requirements:
- migrate the VM to another Hyper-V host as quickly as possible
- ensure that the VM configuration is preserved after the migration is complete
You need to migrate the virtual machine. What should you do first?
You administer four servers that run Windows Server 2012 R2. The servers are part of a four-node Hyper-V cluster. You also have a file server cluster. All four Hyper-V nodes and the file server cluster have access to a storage area network (SAN) that is administered by a SAN administrator.
You have the following requirements:
- The SAN administrator must retain control over which servers have access to the SAN logical unit numbers (LUNs). - The SAN administrator must be able to control the zoning for the SAN environment at the individual guest virtual machine level.
You need to create the virtualized storage environment.
