Test Preparation Questions: Windows Server Administration
1. Answer C is correct. RAID 1 (disk mirroring) needs two disks to be implemented.Before you can enable RAID 1 using
Windows Server 2008, you need to convert basicdisks to dynamic disks, which converts the partitions into volumes. Answers
A and Bare incorrect because write catching improves disk performance but does not helpimplement RAID 1. Answer D is
incorrect because to implement RAID 1 usingWindows Server 2008, you must use dynamic disks.
2. Answer B is correct. RAID 1, disk mirroring, uses two disks to provide fault tolerance.In RAID 1, whatever is written
to one disk is written to the other. Answer A is incorrectbecause RAID 0, disk striping, does enhance performance, but
does not provide faulttolerance. Answers C and D are incorrect because RAID 5 (disk striping with parity)needs three disks
to be implemented.
3. Answers A, C, and D are correct. Windows Server 2003 supports disk striping (RAID 0),disk striping with parity (RAID
5), and disk mirroring (RAID 1). Answer B is incorrectbecause Windows Server 2008 does not natively support hammering code
error-cor-recting code (ECC) disk configurations (RAID 2). Answer E is incorrect becauseWindows Server 2008 does not
natively support striped volumes that are part of a mir-rored set (RAID 0+1). Answer F is incorrect because Windows Server
2008 does notnatively support mirrored volumes that are part of a striped array set (RAID 10).
4. Answers A and C are correct. You can install a fresh copy of Windows Server 2008onto a basic partition and onto a
dynamic volume if the volume was originally a basicpartition that was upgraded to dynamic because Windows Server 2008 can
be installedonly on a disk that contains a partition table. Answer B is incorrect because a dynamicvolume that was created
from unallocated space does not contain a partition table.Answer D is incorrect because Windows Server 2008 Setup does not
support installa-tion onto removable
