Your environment contains one Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain. All domain controllers have Windows Server 2012 R2 installed. All domain controllers are virtualized domain controllers.
You design a disaster recovery strategy. You have the following requirements:
- The domain controllers can be recovered in the event that a Hyper-V host server
fails.
- The AD DS domain must be restorable to a consistent state.
- You must minimize the data loss.
You need to ensure that the domain controllers can be recovered in the event of a failure. What should you do?

HOTSPOT
A company has a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V environment that contains a single Active Directory Domain Services domain named Contoso.com. The environment also has three servers named Host1, Host2, and Host3 that have the Hyper-V role installed. You configure all of the hosts as a single failover cluster. You have two guest clusters named VM-Cluster1 and VM-Cluster2. The environment is configured as shown in the following diagram: When a virtual machine guest cluster node is migrated to another host, the guest cluster fails over to the other node. You must provide high availability for all virtual machines. Guest clusters must NOT fail over if they are migrated to another host.

You need to configure the guest clusters.

HOTSPOT
You administer the Hyper-V environment for a company. All virtual machines must use dynamic memory and virtual non-uniform memory access (NUMA) settings that are aligned to the underlying hardware.
One virtual machine is misconfigured.
You need to update the misconfigured virtual machine.
In the Settings dialog box for the virtual machine, which two options should you select?
Correct Answer:
You administer two servers that run Windows Server 2012 R2. Both servers are part of a Hyper-V cluster. The servers are configured as shown in the following diagram:

All of the .vhdx files are stored on DISK1.
You observe that the physical input/output (I/O) performance degrades when .vhdx files are accessed.
You need to improve performance.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

You have a Windows Server 2012 R2 server with the Hyper-V role installed. The host server hosts a virtual machine (VM) named NYC-VM. The virtual switches for the host server are configured as follows:

---
NYC-VM must meet the following requirements:
communicate with all of the VMs on the same virtualization host server communicate with the virtualization host server must NOT communicate with VMs on different virtualization host servers
You need to configure the virtual switch for NYC-VM.

HOTSPOT
A company has six physical Windows Server 2012 R2 servers. The servers are configured as shown in the following diagram:

Host 1 and Host2 run Windows Server 2012 R2 and have the Hyper-V role installed.
You need to configure the environment to support shared files that use the VHDX file format.

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 a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host server that contains production and test virtual machines (VMs). You plan to optimize the performance of the VMs.
The following settings must be applied to the VMs:
- You must set a maximum value for the input/output operations per second (IOPS) on the test VMs. - You must set a minimum value for the IOPS on the production VMs.
You need to configure the environment. What should you do?

A company has a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host server named NYC-HOST1 that hosts a virtual machine (VM) named NYC-VM1.
A critical security update must be applied immediately to NYC-VM1. There is no time to test the update before deployment. You must minimize the amount of time needed to restore the VM.
You need to capture the state of NYC-VM1 before you install the critical security update.
