A file server hosts a folder with 2 TB of user home directories. Most files are Office documents and PST files. You need to reduce disk usage without changing the file system. What should you configure?

Enable Data Deduplication on the volume and set a minimum file age of 5 days.

Enable SMB Direct on the file share.

Enable NTFS compression on the folder.

Create a storage space with parity.

What is the primary purpose of SMB Direct (SMB over RDMA) in Windows Server?

To compress SMB traffic to save bandwidth.

To provide high-throughput, low-latency file sharing by leveraging RDMA-capable network adapters.

To encrypt SMB traffic for security.

To provide fault tolerance for file shares.

You have a Windows Server 2022 server with a new 1-TB disk. The disk is initialized as MBR. You need to create a volume that can be extended later to more than 2 TB. What should you do?

Create a spanned volume across multiple disks.

Convert the disk to GPT before creating the volume.

Create a simple volume and extend it later.

You enabled Data Deduplication on a volume a week ago. You want to verify the space savings and check the last optimization run. What should you do?

Use Performance Monitor to view the Deduplication counters.

Open Disk Management and view the volume properties.

Run Get-Volume and check the SizeRemaining.

Run Get-DedupStatus and Get-DedupJob.

A Windows Server 2022 server needs to connect to an iSCSI SAN. The SAN has been configured with a target IQN. What must you do on the Windows Server to establish the connection?

Enable SMB Direct and map a drive.

Open iSCSI Initiator, enter the target IQN, and connect.

Use Disk Management to attach a virtual disk.

Install the iSCSI Target Server role and create a target.
