Server 2012 R2 Installation And Configuration Flashcards
2000::/3
Global unicast space prefix - a conventional, publicly routable address that can be used in the Internet or any public domain that is associated with a single node, and can, in effect, identify the node.
FE80::/10
Link-Local Address - The Link-local address is to be used on a single link and should never be routed.
FC00::/7 & FD00::/8
Unique local unicast - Used for private routing within an organization. They are not routable in the global IPv6 Internet.
FF00::/8
Multicast prefix - One to many communication packets.
::1
Local loopback address.
Diskpart
Which of the following tools can be used to create a 4-TB virtual hard disk (VHD) on a Windows Server 2012 R2 computer?
VM - Smart Paging
Uses disk resources as additional, temporary memory when more memory is required to restart a virtual machine.
What objects can you assign GPOs?
Local - functions for both computer and user group policy processing.
Site - highest level. Apply to all domains and servers that are part of the site within the same forest.
Domains - Third level. Applies to all user and computer objects within the domain. Master settings are made at this level
OUs - Most granular level of settings for GPOs
Group Policy Inheritance…what are the two types?
Last one to apply wins - Cumulative and inherited
Block Policy Inheritance- GP settings for an object are not inherited from the parent.
Force Policy Inheritance- settings placed on the parent object ensures that all lower level objects inherit these settings.
User settings take precedence of computer settings.
Auditpol.exe
Command line utility that displays information about policies.
Loopback policy
Allows two ways to retrieve the list of GPOs for any user when they are using a specific computer object.
Merge Mode - the GPO for the computer are add ed to the end of the GPOs for the users
Replace Mode - user’s GPOs are not used.
Server Options
044 - NetBIOS server

Types of Hyper-V Hard Disks
Dynamically Expanding - Slowest of the disks and is used to save space and expand when needed
Fixed size - Faster than Dynamic disk and differencing disk but slower than physical disk. Ideal for cloning a local hard drive.
Differencing - commonly found in test environments and show not be used in production considered child
Physical (pass through disk) highest performance. Used in high-end datacenters and for cluster environments
Printing Priority
Indicates priority of the specified network printer.
A higher value indicates a higher priority. If two print queues are sending jobs to the same port, the queue with the higher priority will print first.
How to Change the Printer Priority
To change the value of this entry, click on the Start menu, point to Settings, and then select Printers. Right-click the printer name, and then select Properties. Click the Advanced tab, and then select a value from the Priority box.
Printer Device
A print device is the actual hardware that produces hard-copy documents on paper or other print media.
Printer
a printer is the software interface through which a computer communicates with a print device
Print Server
A print server is a computer (or standalone device) that receives print jobs from clients and sends them to print devices that are either attached locally or connected to the network.
Printer Driver
A printer driver is a device driver that converts the print jobs generated by applications into an appropriate string of commands for a specific print device
Easy Print
The component that enables Remote Desktop clients to print to their local print devices
Printer Pool
must have at least two identical print devices, or at least two print devices that use the same printer driver. The print devices must be in the same location because there is no way to tell which print device will process a given document. You must also connect all the print devices in the pool to the same print server. If the print server is a Windows Server 2012 R2 computer, you can connect the print devices to any viable ports
Remote Management
WinRM enables administrators to manage a computer from a remote location by using tools based on Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Windows PowerShell.
To manage WinRM from a Windows PowerShell session, as in the case of a computer with a Server Core installation, use the following command:
Configure-SMRemoting.exe –Get|–Enable|-Disable
-Get Displays the current WinRM status
-Enable Enables WinRM
-Disable Disables WinRM
Hyper-V - Hypervisor
Server virtualization in Windows Server 2012 R2 is based on a module called a hypervisor. Sometimes called a virtual machine monitor (VMM), the hypervisor is responsible for abstracting the computer’s physical hardware and creating multiple virtualized hardware environments, called VMs
Hyper-V - RemoteFX
RemoteFX enables remote computers to connect Hyper-V guest VMs with an enhanced desktop experience, including graphics adapter virtualization, USB redirection, and intelligent encoding and decoding.
Hyper-V - Type II Virtualization
The arrangement, in which the hypervisor runs on top of a host OS
Hyper-V - Type I Virtualization
the hypervisor is an abstraction layer that interacts directly with the computer’s physical hardware—that is, without an intervening host OS.
Hyper-V - Server Types
Standard/Datacenter Servers only.
The Hyper-V Server is also limited to the Server Core interface
Hyper-V - Primary tool for creating and managing VMs
Hyper-V Manager console
Hyper-V - Hardware Requirements
A 64-bit processor that includes hardware-assisted virtualization. Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) or AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) technology
A system BIOS that supports the virtualization hardware, on which the virtualization feature has been enabled.
Hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention (DEP)
