Microsoft 70-450 Actual Free Exam Questions & Community Discussion

You administer a SQL Server 2008 instance.
The instance is one of three servers in a peer-to-peer transactional replication topology.
The publication contains a table named Orders. The Orders table contains 200 GB of data
across multiple partitions. A batch process bulk loads 10 GB of data to the Orders table periodically.
You need to design a replication strategy to minimize latency.
What should you do?

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator.
A new database application is hosted by the instance. The data security strategy should be designed for the application. The data should be duplicated to another instance of SQL Server 2008 by utilizing the Snapshot duplication.
Since you are the technical support of the company, you should make sure that all stored data should be
encrypted,
and the minimum amount of administrative effort should be utilized.
Which action will you perform?

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator.
An instance runs on a computer, and the computer has eight quad-core processors and 128-GB RAM. The instance is utilized by four different applications. Not only a low number of CXPACKET waits but also a large number of lazy writer waits are experienced by the instance. The performance of the instance should be optimized.
Which action will you perform to accomplish the goal?

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator.
The security requirements should be designed for a new database application. A code segment is utilized by the application, and the code segment includes the following components:
A method that the registry is accessed on the SQL Server
A method that the file system is accessed on a network file server
A class definition that public static fields are utilized
SQL CLR integration is utilized by the code segment
The code segment is implemented as a single assembly.
Since you are the technical support, you are required to make sure that the application should be successfully deployed to the instance.
Which action will you perform?

You are a professional level SQL Sever 2008 Database Administrator.
After a regular test, you find that performance degradation is experienced by an instance for the three reasons:
Excessive CPU usage, Server processes paging and Deadlocks
A monitoring solution should be implemented to provide data, monitor and troubleshoot performance issues and detailed deadlock information should be contained in the provided data.
You should utilize the least amount of administrative effort to finish the task.
Which tool will you utilize to finish the task?

Your organization has many servers that run SQL Server 2008.
You define a rule to ensure that all database servers have Database Mail disabled.
You need to be able to identify and resolve any violation of the rule by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
What should you do? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

You administer a SQL Server 2008 infrastructure.
You plan to upgrade a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 instance to SQL Server 2008 by using an in-place
upgrade.
All user databases use the simple recovery model and have the PAGE_VERIFY option turned off.
You need to ensure that the database engine can identify I/O path errors and memory corruptions for the
data in tables.
Which two actions should you perform before the upgrade? (Each correct answer presents part of the
solution. Choose two.)
