Q

Downside to NIC Teaming

A

Large TCP sequences on the network such as Hyper V live migration will avoid using multiple adapters to minimize lost and out of order TCP segments. There will not be any performance increase. Dynamic mode, however, splits these large TCP sequences into smaller units and distributes them among the NICs. This is default load-balancing mode in 2012 r2.

Q

On a new server running Windows Server 2012 R2, Morris created a storage pool that consists of two physical drives holding 1 TB each. Then he created three simple virtual disks out of the space in the storage pool. Using the disk Management snap-in, Morris then created a RAID-5 volume out of the three virtual disks. 1.) In What way is Morris’s storage plan ineffectual at providing fault tolerance? 2.)Why will adding a third disk to the storage pool fail to improve the fault tolerance of the storage plan? 3.) How can Morris modify the storage plan to make it fault tolerant?

A

1.) Morris created a Raid 5 out of virtual disks created out of a storage pool that has only two physical disks. Raid 5 can only provide FT by storing data on 3 disks. 2.)Adding a 3rd disk doesn’t guarantee FT because there is no assurance that each of the three virtual disks exists on a separate individual disk. 3.)To make the plan fault-Tolerant, Morris should delete the three simple virtual disks and create on new virtual disk by using either the mirror or parity layout option.

Causes clients to always use the cached copy of server files, providing better performance. To implement, set the Configure slow-link mode Group Policy setting on the client to a value of 1 millisecond.

102
Q

Share Permissions

A

Control access to folders over a network. To access a file over a network, a users must have appropriate share permissions (and appropriate NTFS permissions if the shared folder is on an NTFS Volume).

103
Q

NTFS Permissions

A

Control access to the file and folders stored on disk volumes formatted with the NTFS file system. To access a file, either on the local system or over a network, a user must have the appropriate NTFS permissions.

104
Q

ACL

A

collection of individual permissions in the form of access control entries (ACE).

105
Q

ACE

A

Consists of a security principal (user name, group, computer granted the permissions) and the specific permissions assigned to that security principal.

106
Q

Basic Permissions

A

Combinations of advanced permissions, which provide the most granular control over the element.

107
Q

Standard Permissions (Pre 2012)

A

Now known as Basic permissions.

108
Q

Special permissions (Pre 2012)

A

Now known as Advanced permissions.

109
Q

Additive permissions

A

Preferred method. Start with no permissions and then grant Allow permissions to individual security principals to give them the access they need.

110
Q

Subtractive

A

Start by granting all possible Allow permissions to individual security principals, giving them full control over the system element, and then grant them deny permissions for the access you don’t want them to have.

111
Q

Effective Access

A

Explicitly assigned, inherited, or received through group membership for an element.

112
Q

Effective Access (Allow)

A

-Allow permissions are cumulative. When a security principal receives Allow permissions from more than one source, the permissions are combined to form the effective access permissions.

113
Q

Effective Access (Deny)

A

Deny permissions override Allow permissions. When a security principal receives Allow permissions—whether explicitly, by inheritance, or from a group—you can override those permissions by granting the principal Deny permissions of the same type.

114
Q

Effective Access (Explicit)

A

Explicit permissions take precedence over inherited permissions. When a security principal receives permissions by inheriting them from a parent or from group memberships, you can override those permissions by explicitly assigning contradicting permissions to the security principal itself.

194
Q

Memory Buffer

A

Specifies a percentage that Hyper-V uses to calculate how much memory to allocate to the VM, compared to its actual utilization, as measured by performance counters. For example, with the Memory Buffer value set to 20 percent, a VM with applications and OS that consume 1 GB of memory will receive a dynamic allocation of 1.2 GB.

195
Q

Memory Weight

A

Specifies a relative value that specifies the priority of this VM compared to the other VMs on the same computer. When the physical memory in the computer is insufficient to allocate the full-buffered amount specified for each VM, the VMs with the highest Memory Weight settings receive priority
