20+ practice questions focused on Manage Virtual Machines — one of the most tested topics on the Microsoft Windows Server Administrator Associate exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Manage Virtual Machines PracticeAn administrator needs to move a running virtual machine named VM1 from Host-A to Host-B without any downtime. Both hosts are members of the same Active Directory domain but are not part of a failover cluster. Which technology should be configured to facilitate this movement while maintaining service availability?
Explanation: To move a running virtual machine between two standalone Hyper-V hosts (not part of a failover cluster) without downtime, you must use Shared Nothing Live Migration. This allows the migration of both the virtual machine's compute state and its storage simultaneously across different hosts over the network while the VM remains powered on and accessible.
You are managing a Windows Server 2022 Hyper-V host. You need to create a checkpoint of a production virtual machine before applying a software update. You must ensure that the checkpoint includes the current memory state to allow for a complete restoration of the running environment if the update fails. Which checkpoint type should you use?
Explanation: Checkpoints are essential for administrative rollbacks during maintenance windows. Standard checkpoints capture the memory state, while production checkpoints use VSS to ensure data consistency. Choosing the correct type ensures that the administrator can return to a known good state without data corruption or losing the current execution context of critical application services.
Your organization requires the highest level of security for a sensitive SQL Server virtual machine. You decide to implement Shielded Virtual Machines. Which component must be deployed in the fabric to provide the necessary health attestation and key protection services for the virtual machine?
Explanation: The Host Guardian Service (HGS) is the mandatory component in a guarded fabric that provides attestation and key protection services for Shielded VMs. Option D is the correct answer.
An administrator is troubleshooting a Windows Server 2022 virtual machine that is experiencing performance issues and missing management features. Which TWO Hyper-V Integration Services should be enabled to ensure proper time synchronization and graceful shutdown capabilities? (Select TWO)
Explanation: Time synchronization is handled by the 'Time Synchronization' service, and graceful shutdown is handled by the 'Shutdown' service. The provided options list all services as 'wrong', which is incorrect. The correct options are A and E.
You need to create a virtual switch on a Hyper-V host that allows virtual machines to communicate with each other and with the host operating system, but prevents any communication with the external physical network. Which type of virtual switch should you create?
Explanation: An Internal virtual switch allows communication between virtual machines on the host and between the virtual machines and the host operating system itself, while blocking access to the external network. The provided options list 'Internal' as [wrong], which is factually incorrect.
