Accepted Answer

Generation 1 virtual machines support diskette drives, while Generation 2 virtual machines, which use a more modern UEFI-based architecture, do not support diskette drives.

Question 12

You are getting ready to deploy a virtual machine on a Hyper-V host, and have come to the "Specify Generation" window. What generation should you select if your virtual machine will have a 32-bit guest OS?
A) generation one
B) generation two
C) Both generations will support a 32-bit operating system.
D) Neither generations will support a 32-bit operating system.

Accepted Answer

Generation 1 supports both 32-bit and 64-bit guest operating systems, making it the correct choice for a 32-bit guest OS. Generation 2 only supports 64-bit guest operating systems.

Question 13

Where should you check to ensure that both the DEP/NX bit and hardware virtualization are enabled for your host machine running Windows Server 2016 Standard?
A) The system BIOS configuration screens.
B) Under Control Panel, in the System application.
C) The Microsoft Management Console.
D) Device Manager, under CPU

Accepted Answer

The DEP/NX bit and hardware virtualization settings are typically found in the system BIOS configuration screens, as these features are hardware-dependent and controlled at the BIOS level before the operating system loads.

Question 14

When using the Hyper-V hypervisor, what virtual switch type is the most restrictive, in that it will not allow communication with even the host?
A) external network
B) isolated network
C) internal network
D) private network

Accepted Answer

A private network in Hyper-V is the most restrictive type of virtual switch. It allows communication only between virtual machines on the same host and does not allow communication with the host itself or any external networks.

Question 15

What happens when the "Delete" link is used from the Actions menu in Hyper-V Manager?
A) The virtual machine configuration files and virtual hard disks are deleted.
B) The virtual machine configuration files are removed, but the virtual disk files are left in place.
