Q

VM Dynamic Memory Settings - Startup RAM

A

Specifies the amount of memory that you want to allocate to the VM when it starts. When you are using Dynamic Memory, this value can be the minimum amount of memory needed to boot the system.

45
Q

VM Dynamic Memory Settings - Minimum RAM

A

Specifies the smallest amount of memory the VM can use at anytime. OSs can require more memory to start up than to run, so this value can be smaller than the Startup RAM value.

46
Q

VM Dynamic Memory Settings - Maximum RAM

A

Specifies the largest amount of memory that the VM can use at any time. The value can range from a low equal to the Startup RAM value to a high of 64 GB.

47
Q

VM Dynamic Memory Settings - 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.

48
Q

VM Dynamic Memory Settings - 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

49
Q

VM Dynamic Memory Settings - PowerShell Command

50
Q

Hyper-V - Resource Metering

A

is a Windows PowerShell–based feature in Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V that enables administrators to document VM usage.

Resource metering uses Windows PowerShell cmdlets to track a variety of performance metrics for individual VMs, including the following:
CPU utilization
Minimum, maximum, and average memory utilization
Disk space utilization
Incoming and outgoing network traffic

51
Q

Hyper-V - Enable Resource Metering

A

To use resource metering, you must first enable it for the specific VM that you want to monitor by using the Enable-VMResourceMetering cmdlet with the following syntax:
Enable-VMResourceMetering –VMName

Once you have enabled metering, you can display a statistical report at any time by using the Measure-VM cmdlet with the following syntax:
Measure-VM –VMName

55
Q

VM - Pass Through Disk

A

A pass-through disk is a type of virtual disk that points to a physical disk drive installed on the host computer.
To add a physical hard disk to a VM, the VM must have exclusive access to it. This means that you must first take the disk offline in the parent OS by using the Disk Management

56
Q

VM - Tool to Modify

A

Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard in Hyper-V Manager. To edit an existing VHD or VHDX file

57
Q

Virtual Switch - External

A

can all access the physical network to which the physical adapter is connected

58
Q

Virtual Switch - Internal

A

can all access the virtual network implemented by the virtual switch

59
Q

Virtual Switch - Private

A

A private network switch exists only in the Hyper-V server and is accessible only to the VMs running on the child partitions. The host OS on the parent partition can access the physical network through the physical network interface adapter, but it cannot access the virtual network created by the virtual switch.

60
Q

VM MAC Address

A

Hyper-V creates a pool of MAC addresses during the installation of the role and it assigns addresses from this pool to VMs as you create them. To view or modify the MAC address pool for the Hyper-V server, you open the Virtual Switch Manager and, under Global Network Settings, select MAC Address Range.
`

61
Q

Virtual Switch Adapter - Synthetic

A

purely virtual device that does not correspond to a real-world product. Synthetic devices in a VM running on a child partition communicate with the parent partition by using a high-speed conduit called the VMBus. The virtual switches you create in Hyper-V reside in the parent partition and are part of a component called the network Virtualization Service Provider (VSP). The synthetic network adapter in the child partition is a Virtualization Service Client (VSC). The VSP and the VSC are both connected to the VMBus, which provides interpartition communications

62
Q

Virtual Switch Adapter - Emulated (Legacy)

A

adapter—is a standard network adapter driver that communicates with the parent partition by making calls directly to the hypervisor, which is external to the partitions,
emulated adapters load their drivers before the OS, so it is possible to boot the VM by using the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) and then deploy an OS over the network

63
Q

VM Hardware Acceleration - Enable Virtual Machine Queue

A

technique that stores incoming packets intended for VMs in separate queues on the physical network adapter and delivers them directly to the VMs, bypassing the processing normally performed by the virtual switch on the parent partition

64
Q

VM Hardware Acceleration - Enable IPsec Task Offloading

A

Uses the components on the network adapter to perform some of the cryptographic functions required by IPsec. You can also specify the maximum number of security associations you want the adapter to be able to calculate.

65
Q

VM Hardware Acceleration - Single-Root I/O Virtualization

A

Enables the virtual adapter to take advantage of the SR-IOV capabilities of the physical adapter

66
Q

What are the Three blocks of addresses allocated for private use?

A

  2. 16.0.0/12
  3. 168.0.0/16
67
Q

IPv6 supports three types of transmissions:

A

Unicast Provides one-to-one transmission service to individual interfaces, including server farms sharing a single address
Multicast Provides one-to-many transmission service to groups of interfaces identified by a single multicast address Ex: FF00::/8
Anycast Provides one-to-one-of-many transmission service to groups of interfaces, only the nearest of which (measured by the number of intermediate routers) receives the transmission

68
Q

78
Q

What are the three types of GPOs?

A

Local/Nonlocal/Starter

79
Q

Local GPO

A

Local GPOs contain fewer options than domain GPOs. They do not support folder redirection or Group Policy software installation. Fewer security settings are available. When a local and a nonlocal (Active Directory–based) GPO have conflicting settings, the nonlocal GPO settings overwrite the local GPO settings.

80
Q

NonLocal GPO

A

are created in AD DS and linked to sites, domains, and OUs. Once linked to a container, the settings in the GPO are applied to all users and computers within that container by default.

81
Q

Starter GPO

A

introduced in Windows Server 2008. A starter GPO is essentially a template for the creation of domain GPOs based on a standard collection of settings. When you create a new GPO from a starter GPO, all the settings in the starter GPO are automatically copied to the new GPO as its default settings

82
Q

Central Store

A

This is where the ADMX files are stored. You must create the appropriate folder in the SYSVOL volume on a domain controller. To create a Central Store, you must copy the entire PolicyDefinitions folder to the same location as the Group Policy templates; that is, %systemroot%\SYSVOL\ sysvol\Policies, on a domain controller, or, in universal naming convention (UNC) notation, \< domain name >\SYSVOL< domain name >\Policies.

83
Q

Group Policy Management Console

A

Tool used to create GPOs andsave ADMX files to the \%systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions folder, which on most computers is C:\Windows\ PolicyDefinitions.
