6.4 Flashcards
You are troubleshooting a custom application on Srv4, a server that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
On a periodic basis, the application writes or modifies several registry entries. You want to monitor these
registry keys so that you can create a report that shows their corresponding settings over the next 5 days.
What should you do?
Create a Scheduled Task that runs periodically. In the task, create a script that backs up the necessary portions of the registry.
In Performance Monitor, configure a configuration data collector.
Use the reports generated in Reliability Monitor. Select each of the past 5 days and look for registry
changes in the System Stability Report.
In Event Viewer, attach a task to the events that are logged when the registry values change.
In Performance Monitor, configure a configuration data collector.
You want to monitor the processor utilization on Srv12, a system running Windows Server 2012 R2.
You want to get an e-mail notification every time the processor utilization exceeds 90%. You create a new
Data Collector Set in Performance Monitor.
What type of Data Collector should you create?
Performance counter data collector
Configuration data collector
Performance counter alert
Event trace data collector
Performance counter alert
