You administer a Windows Server 2022 file server hosting critical engineering files. You need to configure File Server Resource Manager storage quotas to ensure that a specific engineering department folder cannot exceed 500 GB of capacity. When usage reaches 90 percent, you must ensure that users can still save files without immediate rejection, but administrative alerts are generated automatically. Which type of quota should you configure?
2A company has a two-node Windows Server 2022 cluster running Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). They need to ensure the highest possible availability for their storage pool, allowing it to survive both a disk failure and a simultaneous node failure. Which resiliency setting must be applied to the virtual disks?
3An administrator is implementing Azure File Sync to centralize file shares from several branch offices. The administrator notices that the local server's disk space is nearly full, despite enabling Cloud Tiering. Which setting should be adjusted to ensure the server maintains at least 20% free space at all times?
4An administrator is planning to enable Data Deduplication on a Windows Server 2022 file server. Which TWO of the following workloads are officially supported and typically see high savings from Data Deduplication? (Select TWO)
5You are configuring an iSCSI Target Server on Windows Server 2022 to provide block storage to a Linux-based application server. Which TWO components must be configured on the Windows Server to allow the Linux host to connect and mount a volume? (Select TWO)
6An organization uses Azure Files to store sensitive company data. They need to ensure that users can only access the files if they are authenticated via their on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Which technology should be implemented to support this?
7You are using the Storage Migration Service (SMS) to migrate data from an aging Windows Server 2012 R2 machine to a new Windows Server 2022 instance. During the cutover phase, what happens to the source server's identity and network configuration?
8An administrator is managing a Hyper-V cluster with Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) storage. They want to prevent a single non-critical virtual machine from consuming all available storage bandwidth and affecting the performance of a production database VM. Which feature should be used?
9An administrator is configuring a new storage pool on a Windows Server 2022 stand-alone server with four 4TB SATA drives. They need to create a virtual disk that can survive the failure of any single drive while providing the best possible write performance. Which resiliency type should they choose?
10You are deploying a 4-node Azure Stack HCI cluster. You need to configure the networking to support Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) east-west traffic. Which TWO networking features are highly recommended by Microsoft to ensure low-latency and high-throughput storage communication? (Select TWO)
11An administrator wants to provide secure file access to remote workers without requiring a traditional VPN. They decide to implement SMB over QUIC on a Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition file server. What is a requirement for the client side of this connection?
12Refer to the exhibit. A Storage Spaces Direct cluster is configured with the resiliency settings shown. What is the maximum number of simultaneous drive failures this pool can sustain without losing data access?
13You plan to implement Storage Replica between two Windows Server 2022 clusters in different cities. The network connection between the sites has a consistent round-trip latency of 20ms. Which replication mode should you implement to ensure application performance is not negatively impacted by storage writes?
14You are configuring Data Deduplication on a Windows Server 2022 file server that hosts various types of data. One volume is dedicated to storing virtual machine backup files. Which usage type should you select to maximize space savings for this specific data?
15You are preparing to use the Storage Migration Service to migrate data from several Windows Server 2012 R2 servers. Which THREE components are essential parts of the Storage Migration Service architecture?
16You use File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) to manage a folder shared by the marketing department. You want to prevent users from saving more than 10GB of data in the folder. If they reach this limit, they must be blocked from adding new files. What should you configure?
17Refer to the exhibit. An administrator executes the PowerShell command shown to configure an iSCSI target. What is the effect of the -InitiatorId parameter in this command?
18You are configuring Azure File Sync to synchronize a local folder on FileServer1 with an Azure file share. Which TWO endpoint types must be added to a Sync Group to enable this functionality?
19You are deploying a new file server that will host Hyper-V virtual machine files. You want to take advantage of block cloning to improve the performance of checkpoint merging and VM cloning operations. Which file system should you use?
20You are optimizing a Windows Server 2022 cluster for high-performance storage traffic. You want to enable SMB Direct to allow the network adapters to transfer data directly between application memory and the network. Which feature must the network adapters support?
21Refer to the exhibit. An administrator has configured a share with the FolderEnumerationMode shown. What is the result when a user without Read permissions to a specific subfolder browses the share?
22A small branch office has five client computers running Windows 11. There is no server located at the branch. You want to implement BranchCache to reduce WAN traffic when users access files from the main office. Which mode should you use?
23Your company runs Windows Server 2022 and utilizes Storage Spaces Direct. You need to configure a new storage pool using available drives. Which Windows PowerShell cmdlet should you create and initialize this storage pool?
