2. The owner of Fourth Coffee wants to add a new computer to the company network. The owner configures the Host IP Address for the computer but still cannot connect to the network.

   Which component should the owner use to connect to the network?

   • DNS Server
   • DHCP address
   • Subnet mask
   • Domain name

   Explanation:

   The second item the subnet mask is missing here. It is required for TCP/IP to work.

3. Which two files are executed so that a Windows Server 2016 server boots into the operating system? (Choose two.)

   • winload.exe
   • ntldr.exe
   • bootmgr.exe
   • boot.ini
   Explanation:
   A: The Windows Boot Manager invokes winload.exe—the operating system boot loader—to load the operating system kernel executive (ntoskrnl.exe) and core device drivers. In that respect, winload.exe is functionally equivalent to the operating system loader function of NTLDR in prior versions of Windows NT.

   C: Windows Vista and later operating systems replaced the NTLDR with the Windows Boot Manager (BOOTMGR). The BOOTMGR file is located in the 100 MB system partition automatically created during the Window 10 and Server 2016 installation.

   Incorrect Answers:
   B, D: In legacy operating systems the boot sector (boot strap loader) loads the NTLDR that would then look for the BOOT.INI.

4. You maintain backup schedules for a Windows Server 2016 server. Some users store vital information on their local hard drives.

   You need to include the users’ data when you perform nightly backups of the server.

   Which built-in process should you use?

   • Agent backup
   • Folder redirection
   • Local backup schedules
   • System state data backup
   Explanation:
   Use folder redirection to store the vital information on a network share instead. Then it will be easy to backup this data.

   Note: Folder Redirection lets administrators redirect the path of a folder to a new location. The location can be a folder on the local computer or a directory on a network file share. Users can work with documents on a server as if the documents were based on a local drive.

    In order to resist power outages or power fluctuations, you should connect UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to the server.
    UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) devices employ a large battery to provide power to a system in the event of a power outage. The amount of time it can continue to supply power to the system depends upon the size of the battery, and the power consumption. UPS is built into the system between the reader and the external power source. The reader is susceptible to power spikes (caused due to lightning strikes or generator variations). UPS keeps the readers running in case of a power failure and also protects them against unexpected power spikes. The UPS helps in keeping data, which may be in the random access memory (RAM) and not yet pushed up to the application, from being lost and the configuration is not wiped out.

    Incorrect Answers:
    A: A hard disk drive is a non-volatile storage device that stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating rigid platters with magnetic surfaces.

    C: Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) is a file with a .vhd extension. This file acts as a separate hard disk. In the Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 operating system, Virtual hard disks can be created and used on computers that are not virtual machines.

    D: Random Access Memory (RAM) is a chip that comes embedded within a computer. It is loaded by an operating system while starting the computer and it also copies an application to be run on the computer, such as a word processor or database program. Whenever a new program is created by a user, the program is temporarily held by RAM and copied to the disk to save the data permanently.
