Pass Your Microsoft 70-414 Exam Easy!

I don't know if I'm going to say the definetly right answer, but between CNAME and SCP option, I'll choose the first one: CNAME. We have to believe that SYSADMIN installed the first AD RMS following these best practice. I saw different technets reports, which were oriented on the same way.

Your network contains an Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) cluster named Cluster1.

You plan to change Cluster1 to a new AD RMS cluster named Cluster2.

You need to ensure that all users retrieve the location of the AD RMS templates from Cluster2.

What should you do?

A)Create an alias (CNAME) record named cluster1.contoso.com that points to Cluster2.
B)Modify the Service Connection Point (SCP).

AD RMS Installation Best Practices

Use DNS aliases, such as CNAME records, or DNS host records, such as A Records for the fully qualified domain name of the AD RMS cluster.
This allows you to easily add additional servers to the AD RMS cluster and allows you to load balance and perform disaster recovery very easily.

Use DNS aliases, such as CNAME records, or DNS host records, such as A Records for your AD RMS database server.
This makes future migration of your AD RMS databases much easier.

B, Q4.
To generate a monthly report, the answer should be either A or D. I would say the answer is D, since System Center 2012 and ACS can be implemented with GPO which does not require any software installation.

Hello, i write the exam tomorrow morning. I study any dumps here. The most answers are the same in any dumps but any questions are not the same. Maybe anyone can help me.

Q1: Minimum amount of file Server required ?? 2 or 3 ???
Q2: CNAME or SCP ????
Q3: Network Adapter or virtual Switch ??
Q4:
Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. You currently have an intranet web
site that is hosted by two Web servers named Web1 and Web2.
Web1 and Web2 run Windows Server 2012. Users use the name intranet.contoso.com to request the web
site and use DNS round robin.
You plan to implement the Network Load Balancing (NLB) feature on Web1 and Web2. You need to
recommend changes to the DNS records for the planned implementation.
What should you recommend?
A. Remove both host (A) records for Web1 and Web2, Create a new host (A) record named Intranet
B. Delete both host (A) records named Intranet. Create a pointer (PTR) record for each Web server.
C. Create a new host (A) record named Intranet. Remove both host (A) records for Web1 and Web2.
D. Delete one of the host (A) records named Intranet. Modify the remaining host (A) record named Intranet.

is D really correct ????

Q5: You plan to deploy AD FS.

A: AD DS
B: Microsoft SQL Server 2012
C: AD LDS
D: AD RMS
E: DFS

Different Answers at different Dumps: A&B or A&B&C ??

Q6: Cloud or Host Group ???

I hope anyone give me good answers.

Thx

Passed today in Spain, 910. Only one new question:
Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The network contains two servers named Server1 and Server2.

You deploy Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS). The certification authority (CA) is configured as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)

You need to ensure that you can issue certificates based on certificate templates. What should you do?

A - On Server1, install the Network Device Enrollment Service role Service.
B - Configure Server1 as a standalone root CA.
C - Configure Server2 as an Enterprise CA
D - On Serverl, run the Add-CertificateEnrollmentPolicyServer cmdlet.

I choose C, as "In a typical CA infrastructure the Stand-alone CAs are primarily intended to be used as Trusted Offline Root CAs in a CA hierarchy or when extranets and the Internet are involved. In a stand-alone CA Certificate templates are not used. An enterprise CA uses certificate types, which are based on a certificate template."

There are several wrong answers. It´s strongly advised to study the materials and dive in Technet.

Passed this exam with the score 820/1000. Seppfuchs dumps are 100% valid. There are few wrong answers. Don't worry, if you study his/her dumps carefully you will cross more than 800 for sure. Total Questions=51(39q+ 2 case studies(6q each)). Study the cbt nuggets videos for more clarity on this paper and to be clear on which is the right answer. Thats all you have to do it.

passed today with 850 using mainly the modified v5 by Mary from the links below.

A Q1 - I'm thinking the answer should be "D". Reason being is that you can staisfy the requirement completly with a task attached to an Event. Something else to consider is that the question does not state a requirment of alerting an Admin. SCOM would do that but it's not required.

Also would you really want to fill SCOM with workstation alerts for an APP?

Thoughts?

Passed with mid *800's. I looked at SeppFuch's as well. I mostly chose from V5 here in the comments. Alot of the answers were in different order and it seemed that a couple that had multiple selections had either new answers added or changed, but the ones here were the ones I chose. I was a little nervous due to this and it got me off my game, so I cannot remember which questions. I was going to try to remember. I think if you use Nos v5 or SeppFuch's you will pass. No new questions.

The is a forum group set up at

http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=42879/*http://groups.yahoo.com/group/70414

It's a bit easier for discussion groups. I've started a thread may join in and we can work through the debated questions.
I take my exam Friday..I'm in Vancouver and it's about 7:30 AM here now so depending where all of you are it may be a bit challenging on timiing but if we just keep posting to the thread it'll work it's way out.

@Tom Joe
Yeah, its kinda confusing if you dont follow the thread from the bottom up, people posting updates in the thread because this site doesn't post things quickly when there is an update. I think someone uploaded Anon1's vce and it took 4 or 5 days to show up. I wish they would allow instant uploads, or allow the person (maybe by IP) who uploaded the original to edit it.

@ Hawk..I thought the dump was reuploading. I downloaded the one at the top :-(

C Q4 - I'm challenging this one. I believe the answer is A - The iSCSI Target Server cluster role.

Wouldn't this be required on the cluster to create the access point to the iSCSI SAN?

Comments anyone?

Q B15 - Why would you not use a virtual switch to evenly distribute the bandwidth to the 20 VM on HyperV1?

@Renton

May I suggest we use the following forum to discuss this as the 5 post limit is a bit frustrating

http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=42879/*http://groups.yahoo.com/group/70414

On Mary Anne's edit I don't agree with 2. Here is what I'm pretty sure on;


B Q15 = D

D Q12 = agreed on edit

D Q21 = agreed on edit

Datum Q8 = B

B Q15 = D

C Q4 I'm questioning? Would this require the iSCSI Traget Server role?

It's similar to questions D Q9 & B Q11 which also was answered with CSV. Does the iSCSI SAN change anything in C Q4?



I've created my own version based on various edits but it's basically v5 including the above edits

@Pat. What about the modified one from Mary-Anne which contains updates to the v5 of NOS' file? Do you reckon that one might be better? Thanks

I've the dump from Azrael http://www.examcollection.com/microsoft/Microsoft.Compilation.70-414.v2013-05-07.by.Azrael.92q.vce.file.html

To ersion 5 of this dump and the differences are in the following questions NOS Q# Azrael Q#

AQ1 Q11
BQ6 Q28
CQ6 Q38
CQ12 Q44
DQ7 Q50
DQ9 Q52

Have a look and see what you think. These seem to be the most debated questions.

Version 5 of this dump I think is pretty close. There are still a few questions up for debate and it may be the luck of the draw on the pool of questions you get. I've been through this dump and I'm still questioning about 12 questions that on whether they are correct. I'm estimating you'd need to get about 15 questions wrong on the exam to fail..

@Tom Joe
When you say this dump, do you mean the one you download here at the top or v5 that has been posted in the comments? Also, did were you scoring 100% on the dump or just using it as a guide?

@ Renton, if your asking if I only used this dump as study material then no. I did self study in labs as well. If you mean was this the only dump I referenced than yeah it is.

@Tom Joe. Did you only use this dump? Thanks

Failed. Weakest areas were Plan and implement a server virtualization infrastructure & plan and implement a highly available enterprise infrastructure

All questions were in this dump

C Q4 I'm questioning? Would this require the iSCSI Traget Server role?

It's similar to questions D Q9 & B Q 11 which also was answered with CSV. Does the iSCSI SAN change anything in C Q4?

@ Trash..thanks! I hate these types of questions :)

Sorry, typo below. SCCM won't run software inventory without a client.

So to put it another way, the client machine cannot report back the software inventory to the SCCM Management Point without the SCCM client software being present on the client machine. MAP is far from ideal but it would do the job. SCCM won't run software inventory with a client.

@PAT

Hiya, Yep, that article confirms this: After software inventory is enabled and the clients run a software inventory cycle, the client sends the inventory information to a management point in the client's site. The management point then forwards the inventory information to the Configuration Manager site server, which stores the inventory information in the site database. Software inventory runs on clients according to the schedule that you specify in client settings.

@trash

Information is gathered through a policy so no software is installed. There is a setting on the client you need to enable but there is no client "software" installed.

Source: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682049.aspx

How can SCCM gather information from the clients without an agent installed? It must be MAP.

@Nos

What are your thoughts on B Q4

MAP or SCCM software inventory?

This is another debated question that I'd like to get clarified. My thought is SCCM software inventory. No software is required on the clients and it has rich reporting options. However it does not state in the question that System Center is installed in the environment but that technically doesn't really matter becasue to provide the required solution you'd simply install it. As long as no software was installed on the clients..It's also not really clear to me that MAP would report on all applications on the client outside a selection of Microsoft applications.

Any pointer or thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Yah pat, now that i think about it, I am pretty sure this is how i answered it the first time, and got very high scores in that section.

1. Restore a copy of the CA's private key, and then retrieve a copy of the CRL.
2. By using Certutil, resign the CRL, and then extend the validity period of the CRL.
3. By using Certutil, republish the CRL.

Datum Q8

Additionally..You cannot use DFS in a multi-site cluster environment. Microsoft does not have a replication solution for this, hense the need to purchase a storage solution.

@Pitacus
I may be wrong in my logic but here is how I read it. The question states that you are evaluating the deployment and that you need to identify the changes needed to support it. Multi-site clusters need a low latency connection from what I've read. Also, DFS-R is not supported for replication of Virtual Machines.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd197575(v=ws.10).aspx
DFS-R only performs its data replication after a file is closed. This works well for files such as documents, presentations, or spreadsheets, but it will not work for files that are held open, such as databases or virtual machines. You must choose a replication option other than DFS-R.
Perhaps I'm missing something here..very possible

@Pat

Datum Q8

The link between Miami and Seattle is a low bandwidth and will not be Replaced for another year. This invalidates the option B.

The use of dynamic memory allows migration between hosts does not consume all available memory on the destination host.

A copy of App2 needs to be kept in Seattle. DFS uses the RDC and consume little bandwidth.

A Q14 - I'm pretty sure now this is the correct answer

1. Restore a copy of the CA's private key, and then retrieve a copy of the CRL.
2. By using Certutil, resign the CRL, and then extend the validity period of the CRL.
3. By using Certutil, republish the CRL.

The CA is offline so you need to restore the private key and retrieve a copy of the CRL. You need to do this step!

As far as publishing is concerned..this is an AD CS infrastructure so you publish the CRL to AD using Certutil..you do ot need to copy the files to the Web server farm.

See link

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc782041(v=ws.10).aspx

@Pitacus I'd agree with you on D Q15.

You wouldn't want to remove the A records for the individual servers Web1 and Web2 from DNS because those would exist along with the 2 DNS Round Robin records for intranet.contoso.com. Hosts communicating with those servers using the A entries for Web1 and Web2 would no longer resolve if removed..Good catch.

@haqr

D Q19 according to this link and the requirements of the question where you need to limit the certificates being trusted, the correct answer is "D"

See this link
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4954.windows-xp-certificate-status-and-revocation-checking.aspx

Cross Certification Section states

Cross-certification is the process of cross-certifying CA hierarchies using basic constraints, name constraints, issuance policies, and application policies to limit which certificates are accepted from partner CA hierarchies or a secondary hierarchy within the same organization.

A Cross-Certification Authority (CrossCA) certificate includes its defined constraints and policies, and allows clients that trust your CA hierarchy's root CA to trust certificates issued by CAs from another organization that meet the constraints and policies defined in your CrossCA certificate.

@ Mary-Anne

B - Q15

The correct answer is D.

If the record intranet.contoso.com use round robin, which means there are two of them. One pointing to the IP of Web1 and another pointing to the IP of Web2.

When you deploy NLB, it creates a virtual IP.

Therefore, the most appropriate is to delete one of the two records intranet.contoso.com and change the other to point to the virtual IP of the NLB.

Regards.

@Mary-Anne

Thanks for the updated file. I have my exam on Friday so I will use yours from now on. I have been using the v5 NOS so far. Thanks again :-)

Sorry.. here is the link I spoke of

http://windowsitpro.com/hyper-v/use-dfs-r-replicate-windows-server-2012-hyper-v-virtual-machines

@Mary..congrats on your pass.

For A Datum Q8. From the research I've been doing I'm fairly confident that C is not the answer. I know you got 100% but perhaps this question fell under another catagory.

The questions states to "identify" what is required regardless of the WAN link not being upgraded for a year a fast WAN link is required for multi-site clusters.

Also DFS-R, as indicated in the link provided, does not support VM's for replication.

Of all the options "B" really is the only one that seems correct.

Further to this..What would the purpose of the VM's using Dynamic Memory serve?

I passed today with a mid- 800 score using only V5 from NOS.

Since I have taken the exam twice and found a lot of supporting evidence, I altered NOS' VCE file.

http://depositfiles.com/files/4v2w6z8f5

The following lists the changes I made:

The main changes I made were adding supporting screenshots and links, syntax errors, and answer choice changes that I noticed from the exam. The changes are noted in the comments. However, the bulk of the alterations I made were to structure, grammar and replacing 'I' with '1' and 'visualization' with 'virtualization' so the VCE is overall easier to read and understand.

Exam B Q 15: Changed the answer to C, which was how it appeared on the exam.
Exam D Q 12: Changed the answer to B, wording may be slightly off but the same concept appeared on the exam twice. I also changed the wording of answer C to reflect the actual exam.
Exam D Q 21: Changed the answer to B, Modify the Service Connection Point (SCP). It was the answer I chose and the one everyone seems to agree on the most. Added more supporting information.
Case Datum Q 8: I chose answer C as NOS suggested and got 100% in Plan and Implement a Server Virtualization Infrastructure.

Please point out any further errors or corrections to be made. I hope someone takes this further and further until a solid VCE is available.

Exam D, Q19. I believe A. Exchange the root certs and deploy via GPO to Trusted root cert is the correct answer. This is the exact method taught in the 414 MS course.

Pretty sure this is correct, for the exact same reasons I choose SCP earlier.

Answer 2
1. By using Certutil, resign the CRL, and then extend the validity period of the CRL.
2. By using Certutil, republish the CRL.
3. Copy the CRL to the Web server farm.

Version 5 is about as good as it gets atm. There are still many wrong answers. A lot of it depends on the pool of questions you get.

I would say That the Virtualization questions are the most accurate of the bunch atm.

@ Pat
D - Q21
A Service Connection Point (SCPs) allows AD RMS-enabled clients in your organization to find and access the AD RMS cluster. Registering an SCP places the cluster URL in Active Directory. So, the clients will use de resource records to retrieve the location.

The cluster address is a URL that is used by clients to publish and consume rights-protected content.

So, i think the answer "Modify SCP" is the best choice, in this case.

Regards!

Looking for guidance on A Q14. Ther seems to be conflicting answers on this and neither are really clear..

Answer 1
1. Restore a copy of the CA's private key, and then retrieve a copy of the CRL.
2. By using Certutil, resign the CRL, and then extend the validity period of the CRL.
3. By using Certutil, republish the CRL.

Answer 2
1. By using Certutil, resign the CRL, and then extend the validity period of the CRL.
2. By using Certutil, republish the CRL.
3. Copy the CRL to the Web server farm.

Any help in clarifying the proper process would be appreciated.

@ Mary-Anne Good luck with your exam! I take mine on May 17th. Let us know how you do. Did you review version 5 of NOS's dump from http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/70414/files/?

@Pitacus..Thanks I found that on C Q12. I'm wavering back and forth on D Q21 however between SCP and CNAME.

@NOS..Thanks for the note on D Q21. Maybe I'll go with SCP. I wish the question was worded a bit better. In your opinion is v5 of your dump up to date with the latest edits?

I believe the correct answer is SCP, as I chose CNAME the 2nd time around and scored worse in Design and Implement Identity and access solutions. Not concrete, but nonetheless.

@ Pat
C - Q12
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427293.aspx

The physical computer to be converted must meet the following requirements:

- Must have at least 512 MB of RAM.
- =====>>> Cannot have any volumes larger than 2040 GB. <<<=====
- Must have an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) BIOS. Vista WinPE will not install on a non-ACPI BIOS.
- Must be accessible by VMM and by the virtual machine host.
- Cannot be in a perimeter network.

@ Mary-Anne
B - Q4
MAP is the correct answer.
VDI do not requires System Center and the question don't talk about System Center installed in environment.

@Jake

You are correct for B Q4. Answer is: A Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager software inventory

Microsoft Explanation: http://i.imgur.com/bedP0bk.jpg

@Pat

Well I have my exam tomorrow. I first took it May 10th and failed so I really pulled all the stops and researched most of the questionable answers. I'm confident I will pass tomorrow but I will not stop reviewing!

@Mary-Anne Thanks for the link. I'll have a look tomorrow. Too much research today already. My head is spinning.

@Pat

In my opinion, D Q21 is the most poorly worded question I have ever seen from Microsoft yet!

In order to properly change over AD RMS you have to go through a ton of steps. See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj835767%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

However, if you go by Microsoft's guide, the step before registering the SCP is to make DNS changes. "Updating the DNS name for the old RMS cluster to point to the load balanced VIP of the new AD RMS cluster is done so that any clients that will request licenses for old content will go to the new cluster." At that point you would change the CNAME record to point to Cluster2. The step to modify or register the SCP on the new cluster comes after this step.

The question still leaves a lot up for debate and I am still reading over the step by step guide to see if I can determine if one answer is better than the other. For now though, I am going with answer A, creating an alias (CNAME) for cluster2.

Read through what I linked and let me know what you think.

@Mary-Anne..NP:) Do you have any thoughts on D Q21?

I'm leaning toward B "Modify SCP" but perhaps I'm assuming or reading it wrong. A would technically work as well but my thought is you'd re-registering the the SCP for Cluster2 using the AD RMS console is the proper way. Now I'm assuming that Cluster1 was properly decommissioned.

What do you think?

@Pat

Wow, you are totally correct. I kept reading that as 4GB in my head the whole time not thinking a Server 2003 install would ever have 4TB of physical space. Thanks for letting me know! :)

Mary-Ann - I missed it at first as well but the max supported disk size is 2040 (2 TB). Server 2 fails the requirements because it has a 4 TB disk. Otherwise it'd be OK.

Nos,

I agree with @Pat on Q C12.

The answer should be:
A: Server 1
B: Server 2
D: Server 4
E: Server 5

Server 3 fails Microsoft's prerequisites; it cannot have any volumes larger than 2040GB. http://i.imgur.com/LBb5DpJ.png

However, Server 2 is explicitly allowed. http://i.imgur.com/HQ0CUQN.png

You sourced the whole 2012 VMM article https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/systemcenter/hh278293.aspx but, if you drill down to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427293.aspx you will find an exact list of compatible P2V machines and prerequisites.

I do not see R2 listed specifically but I believe it is required for SP2, if that is the issue then please correct me.

Jake..I'd agree with you on B Q4 but on D Q21 I suppose it's open to interpretation. Adding a CNAME alias technically would work but would it not be more of a bandaid and it would depend on how AD RMS was installed on Cluster2 and if AD RMS was decommisioned properly off Cluster1. You can register or re-register the SCP connection point in the AD RMS console.

Thoughts?

Im thinking Exam D Q21 is correct based on these articles:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee221045%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj735304.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj835767%28v=ws.10%29.aspx#bkmk_UpdateDnsName

SCP is normally registered with AD during provisioning. Also, although the question doesnt explicitly state it, MS usually wants the answer that involves the least administrative effort.. Modifying/Creating a CNAME is significantly easier than using ASDIEdit to manually edit the SCP record.

Exam B Q4.

MAP is used to assess the ability to upgrade the host to Win8/Server2012.

I dont see anything in the documentation (or running the program itself) the provides a "Software Inventory" especially one that can generate a report that generates once a month.

As such, Im inclined to go with A. Configuration Manager Software Inventory instead of C.

Failed. 680 points. Using version 4. No new question. Going to re-exam.

Jake..Thanks for your reply! I apprecate the help.

Pat,
B is not a possible answer for D9.

Based on this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831413.aspx

Storage accessed through a virtual Fibre Channel supports devices that present logical units. Virtual Fibre Channel logical units cannot be used as boot media.



You cant boot from the vFC so you cant run VMs directly from vFC. Additionally, since vFC requires the FC to be physically connected to the hypervisors, which precludes it from being presented to Cluster 2 since the question actually states your network contains a SAN that is only capable of 2 FC connections.

vFC is used to give the VM direct access to shared storage but unless you're clustering in VMs or need direct access to the SAN for IO purposes, its likely you'd still present the LUN to the hypervisor and give the VM direct disk access to the hypervisor's locally presented disk.

Finally , passed 730 in v5
Thanks Nos and omar

D9 - Would you also not add "From a node in Cluster1, create a Virtual Fibre Channel SAN" as a solution for connecting to the SAN?

Answer possibly B, C, D?

Thoughts?

Ignore my previous post regarding B5..I suppose you'd use Orchestrator if you wanted to automate tasks whereas SM provides what is need in this particular scenario. So A OP & SM it is.

BQ5 - Answer must be Operations Manager & Orchestrator

See this link and decide for yourself

http://windowsitpro.com/system-center-2012/understanding-system-center-orchestrator-2012

Orchestrator is a complete solution that goes beyond basic automation. You can configure Orchestrator runbooks to be triggered according to event logs or, more usefully, Microsoft Systems Center Operations Manager alerts. Rather than waiting for an end user to notice that a service has become unavailable or having a member of the support team raise a job according to an Ops Manager alert, you can automate the process entirely through the use of an Orchestrator runbook that is triggered by an alert, raises a job in the job-tracking system, runs a complex operation to resolve the issue that triggered the alert, adds information to the job in the job-tracking system, and then closes that job. The alert is resolved, the job is logged and closed, and everything is completed without direct human intervention.

Thanks Nos!

A Datum Q8..DFS is not supported as staed here;

http://windowsitpro.com/hyper-v/use-dfs-r-replicate-windows-server-2012-hyper-v-virtual-machines

"DFS-R, however, can't be used with Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs) because DFS-R works only with closed files. The files associated with a VM are kept open and therefore wouldn't be replicated until stopped."

Also here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd197575(v=ws.10).aspx

"Not using Distributed File System Replication: You cannot use the feature in Windows Server 2008 called Distributed File System Replication (DFS-R) as your data replication method in a multi-site cluster. DFS-R only performs its data replication after a file is closed. This works well for files such as documents, presentations, or spreadsheets, but it will not work for files that are held open, such as databases or virtual machines. You must choose a replication option other than DFS-R."

The question also states that you are "evaluating the deployment"..based on that the chages you need to identify are in "B"
Upgrade the WAN link between the Miami and Seattle offices.
Purchase a storage solution that replicates the virtual machines.

Why would you need to configure all the virtual machines to use dynamic memory?

Examb, Q15 is so unclear indeed, only difference it makes is that when you delete both host A-records, open connections or new connections can not be mae until you create the A-records for the NLB cluster (which you in answer A do immediately afterwards). It makes no difference to me, but we are talking MS here..

Confused by your reasoning here, the article sited (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg675092.aspx) says to keep (not change) the name and release number if you are restoring.

The process as I understand it should be as follows:
1) Import the updated xml file.
2) In the Name box, enter a name for the service template. If you are restoring a service template (we are restoring the same service template), so we keep the same service template name.
3) In Release box, provide a release value for the service template. If you are restoring a service template (we are not restoring the same version of the service template), so we do not keep the same release value.
4) In the Change Service Template wizard, on the Updated Service Template page, select Replace the current template with an updated template for this service.
5) When you are ready to apply the updates to the deployed service (for example, during a regularly scheduled maintenance windows), in the VMs and Service workspace, select the service that you want to update.
6) After the update job has completed, in the VMs and Services workspace, verify that the Template Release value for the service has been updated.

Additional information which supports changing the release number:

@Anonymous: Exam B, Q10

Think about it. What do initiators do? They connect to targets. Why would you reconfigure them before the target has been configured?

The one in the uploaded link v4 is newest. I just added Version didn't change date.

Exam A, Q14

"CRL re-signing is a manual process whereby the Administrator can use the CA's backed up certificate and private keys to re-sign an existing CRL file. This process allows you to extend the lifetime of the existing CRL, and even add certificates to the CRL, effectively revoking them."

I believe the correct order to be:
1) Restore a copy of the CA's private key, and then retrieve a copy of the CRL.
2) By using Certutil, resign the CRL, and then extend the validity period of the CRL.
3) By using Certutil, republish the CRL.

Exam B, Q10

I believe the order is as follows:
1) Install the Failover Clustering feature.
2) Create a cluster.
3) Reconfigure the iSCSI Intiator settings.
4) Add the iSCSI Target Server cluster role.
5) Create iSCSI targets.

So the same order as this except with iSCSI Initiator reconfiguration moved ahead two spaces.

Exam D, Q18

The question is poorly worded, but I agree with your answer of:
"Server authentication certificate that is issued by a trusted third-party root CA and that contains the subject name serverl.contoso.com"
and
"Self-signed server authentication certificates for serverl.contoso.com"

The self-signed certificates are automatically generated, but they are still required.

Exam D, Q15

I concur that the updated answer of "The settings of the network adapter" is the correct one, as it is likely referring to these Set-VMNetworkAdapter settings:

-MaximumBandwidth<Int64>
-MinimumBandwidthAbsolute<Int64>
-MinimumBandwidthWeight<UInt32>

Nos, the one you posted in the comments as updated has a filename of the old dump date, but v4, not this dump's date. Is that one that has been updated or the last one that was updated? Would have thought you would have put this dump's name plus v2? Just asking in case u uploaded the wrong one. Thanks!!!

Just passed the exam half an hour ago, score 700, I answered as it on the dump all questions was from the dump obvious some answeres are incorrect. be carefull

C 12..still the link does not show 2003 R2 SP2 as supported OS regardless of HD size. Am I wrong in reading this?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427293.aspx

Thx Nos.I was trying to find something on HD size but had no luck. I'm assuming that 2 TB is the max size?

It is about the size of the Hard drives on C q12.

You might be right about the 800xp workstations, I copied that from a previous dump, still unsure if that makes branch cache right.

Ocean about the collectors, not sure why it is the answer you provided even with the link

Contoso Q5..Answer is B - BranchCache I'm pretty sure. The note of 800 XP users does not apply to the Contoso case study..it's part of the A Datum case study.

Exam C Q12 - I think it may only be A & D The following link does not show 2003 R2 SP2 as supported or 2008 R2 SP1.. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427293.aspx
Am I missing something here as to why Server 2 (Win 2003 R2 SP2) was not selected but Server5 also Win 2003 R2 SP2 was selected?

Hi Nos

U can update your dump as i have found the answer of Exam D, Q2.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cac5835c-bc12-4d35-bc46-b61931559f26#BKMK_PlanHierarchy

Role-based administration provides a central administrative security model for the hierarchy, and you do not have to install sites to provide a security boundary. Instead, use security scopes, security roles, and collections to define what administrative users can see and manage in the hierarchy.

Answer should be one site with 3 site collections (one for each office).

Thanks for the dumps..I took the test a few minutes ago and had almost every question you changed in the last dump..passed with a 700..not sure that the changed answers are correct..but I"m done w/ this test..thanks again guys

UPDATED DUMP pls download below.

Changed
Exam C Q2 and Q13 with Explanations.

Hi Nos,

Kind of misleasing documentation screenshots in the previous dumps, i think the answer is 2/3/5 as well.

Hi Guys,

About your dump NOS i think it is accurate. Exam E, Q5 i can confirm the answer should be DFS-R:

http://pertorben.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/dfs-r-or-branchcache/

The requirements specifically say that the file services should be available if a wan link goes down

Exam C Q10, It does indeed look like 2/3/5 is correct for the Raid Disks. Thanks to Azreals dump on this one.

Please update us with scores, and HOW you scored in each of the 4 sections.

Questions I would like to get a better confirmation are correct.

Exam A, Q13, Q14

Exam B, Q5, Q6, Q10

Exam D, Q1, Q2, Q8

@NotSure, it downloaded fine here. Give it a try again or from a different computer.

Yes. Both this and the previous one have the questions changed and Anon is sourced in the Answer section. Approx 5-6 questions, ones that it is hard to get a consensus on, have answers where testers got significantly higher scores when they went with that answer.

I am extremely unsure about Exam D Q8. I have B. but answer is probably C.? Would be nice to get this question Cleared up.

This one is downloading as corrupt. Any chance it can be reloaded?

Updated dump. Should be more accurate.
