A company is deploying 50 identical servers in a new data center. The servers have no optical drives, and the administrator wants to install Windows Server 2022 with a consistent configuration across all machines.

Use PXE boot to install the OS from the WDS server.

Mount the ISO via iSCSI and install from the network share.

Perform a clean install from a USB drive for each server.

Perform an in-place upgrade from a previous OS on each server.

A server administrator is installing Ubuntu Server 24.04 on a server with a 2 TB disk. The server will be used for a database that requires high I/O performance. The administrator wants to use LVM for flexibility. Which partitioning scheme should be used?

Create a primary partition for /boot and an LVM physical volume for the rest.

Create a single primary partition for / and format it with ext4.

Create a GPT partition table and use a single primary partition for /.

Create a single extended partition for the entire disk and format it with XFS.

A server administrator is installing Windows Server 2022 on a new server with a single 2 TB disk.

Create one primary partition for the OS and two logical partitions for data and logs.

Create one primary partition for the OS and one extended partition with two logical drives for data and logs.

Create three primary partitions: one for the OS, one for data, and one for transaction logs.
