AZ-802 Practice Test 4 — 10 Questions

Question 1

You are configuring a Windows Server 2022 instance to act as a router between two subnets. You have enabled IP forwarding, but traffic is not passing between the subnets. Which PowerShell cmdlet should you use to verify if the routing table is correctly identifying the local interface routes?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Get-NetRoute. The Get-NetRoute cmdlet is essential for inspecting the IPv4 and IPv6 routing tables on Windows Server. It allows administrators to verify that the destination network is reachable via the correct interface and gateway. Misconfigured routes are a primary cause of packet loss in multi-homed server environments, and this tool provides the granular visibility needed to troubleshoot connectivity issues between internal subnets.

Answer

Get-NetIPAddress

Answer

Test-NetConnection

Answer

Get-NetAdapter

Question 2

You are managing a hybrid cloud environment and need to connect an on-premises Windows Server 2022 to an Azure Virtual Network. Which service should you implement to provide a secure, persistent, and encrypted tunnel over the public internet?

Accepted Answer

Azure Site-to-Site VPN. A Site-to-Site VPN is the standard solution for connecting on-premises infrastructure to Azure over the internet using an IPsec/IKE tunnel. It provides a secure, encrypted path for traffic, ensuring that data moving between the local data center and the cloud remains protected. This is the most common deployment scenario for hybrid connectivity where a dedicated line like ExpressRoute is not financially feasible.

Answer

Azure ExpressRoute

Answer

Remote Access Server (RAS) Gateway

Answer

Azure Point-to-Site VPN

Question 3

Refer 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?

Accepted Answer

Two drive failures. The exhibit shows a three-way mirror configuration, indicated by NumberOfDataCopies being set to three. In Storage Spaces Direct, a three-way mirror can tolerate the simultaneous failure of two disks or two entire nodes. This high level of redundancy is standard for mission-critical workloads requiring maximum uptime and data integrity.

Answer

One drive failure

Answer

Three drive failures

Answer

Zero drive failures

Question 4

You are monitoring network utilization on a Windows Server 2022 node. You notice consistently high CPU usage when transferring large amounts of data over the network. Which feature can you enable to offload this processing and improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Receive Side Scaling (RSS). Receive Side Scaling (RSS) is a technology that allows the network stack to distribute incoming network traffic processing across multiple CPU cores. By offloading this task, the server can handle higher network throughput without overloading a single core, which is critical for high-traffic servers. This reduces CPU bottlenecks and ensures that the server can scale its networking capabilities to meet increasing demand efficiently.

Answer

Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ)

Answer

IPsec Task Offloading

Answer

Network Load Balancing (NLB)

Question 5

You are configuring DHCP failover between two Windows Server 2022 nodes named Server1 and Server2 to ensure high availability for a critical subnet. Which TWO failover modes are available for selection during the configuration wizard?

Accepted Answer

Load Balance. Windows Server DHCP failover provides two distinct modes to ensure that IP address leasing remains operational if one server fails. Choosing the correct mode depends on whether the administrator wants both servers to actively lease addresses simultaneously or have one server remain idle until a failure event occurs within the network environment.

Answer

Active-Passive Cluster

Answer

Split-Scope

Answer

Distributed Relay

Question 6

A 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?

Accepted Answer

Nested resiliency. Storage Spaces Direct requires specific resiliency configurations for small clusters to maintain availability. Nested resiliency is a feature introduced for two-node clusters that provides data redundancy both within a single node and across the two nodes. This ensures that even if one node is offline for maintenance and a drive fails in the remaining node, the data remains accessible.

Answer

Three-way mirroring

Answer

Two-way mirroring

Answer

Dual parity

Question 7

You 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?

Accepted Answer

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). SMB Direct requires network adapters that support Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). RDMA allows the network adapter to transfer data with minimal CPU intervention and extremely low latency. This is a key technology for high-performance workloads like Storage Spaces Direct and SQL Server over SMB.

Answer

Receive Side Scaling (RSS)

Answer

Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ)

Answer

Network Teaming (LACP)

Question 8

You 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)

Accepted Answer

iSCSI Virtual Disk. Setting up an iSCSI environment requires configuring both the storage provider (Target) and the client (Initiator). On the Windows Server side, you must define which disks are available and which hosts are permitted to connect. This involves creating virtual disks and mapping them to specific target objects that define the security boundaries and access protocols for the initiators.

Answer

iSCSI Initiator Name Service (iSNS)

Answer

Multipath I/O (MPIO)

Answer

Fibre Channel Zoning

Question 9

You are managing a Windows Server 2022 DNS server. You need to implement DNS policies to ensure that queries for 'www.contoso.com' are resolved to different IP addresses based on the client's subnet. Which DNS policy component should you create first to define the client groupings?

Accepted Answer

DNS Server Client Subnet. DNS policies in Windows Server allow for intelligent traffic management by tailoring responses based on various criteria. To achieve location-based or subnet-based resolution, the server must first be able to identify which subnet a client belongs to. This is the foundational step before any resolution logic or policies can be applied.

Answer

DNS Server Zone Scope

Answer

DNS Server Recursion Scope

Answer

DNS Server Query Resolution Policy

Question 10

You are troubleshooting a Windows Server DNS environment where stale resource records are not being removed, leading to name resolution errors. Which THREE conditions must be met for DNS scavenging to successfully delete a stale record?

Accepted Answer

Scavenging must be enabled at the DNS server level.. DNS scavenging is a multi-step process that requires specific configurations at both the server and zone levels. If any of these components are misconfigured, the scavenging engine will not process the records, leading to an accumulation of outdated data that can interfere with network operations and IP management.

Answer

The record must be a static record with a zero timestamp.

Answer

The DNS server must be a member of the Schema Admins group.
