Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712991.aspx Determine Whether to Migrate Configuration Manager 2007 to System Center 2012 ConfigurationManagerIn Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, the built-in migration functionality replaces in-placeupgrades of existing Configuration Managerinfrastructure by providing a process that transfers data fromactive Configuration Manager 2007 sites. The functionality provided by migration helps youmaintaininvestments that you have made in configurations and deployments while you can take full advantage of corechanges in the product introduced in SystemCenter 2012 Configuration Manager. These changes include asimplified Configuration Manager hierarchy that uses fewer sites and resources, and the improvedprocessingby use of native 64-bit code that runs on 64-bit hardware.

Migration can transfer most data from Configuration Manager 2007.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg681981.aspx

Planning for Migration to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager You must first install a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager hierarchy to be thedestination hierarchybefore you can migrate data from a supported source hierarchy. After you install the destination hierarchy, configure the management featuresand functions that you want touse in your destination hierarchy before you start to migrate data.


http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712313.aspx Prerequisites for Migration in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager To migrate from a supportedsource hierarchy, you must have access to each applicable ConfigurationManager source site, and permissions within the System Center 2012 ConfigurationManager destination siteto configure and run migration operations.

Required Configurations for Migration..Data GatheringTo enable the destination site to gather data, you must configure the following two source site accessaccounts for use with each source site:* Source Site Account: This account is used to access the SMS Provider of the source site.* For a Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 source site, this account requires Read permission to allsource site objects.* For a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager source site, this account requires Readpermission to all source site objects, You grant this permission to theaccount by using role- basedadministration.

* Source Site Database Account: This account is used to access the SQL Server database of thesource site and requires Read and Execute permissions to thesource site database. You can configure these accounts when you configure a new source hierarchy, data gathering for anadditional source site, or when youreconfigure the credentials for a source site. These accounts can usea domain user account, or you can specify the computer account of the top-level site of thedestinationhierarchy.

Security Note: If you use the Configuration Manager computer account for either access account, ensurethat this account is a member of the security groupDistributed COM Users in the domain where thesource site resides.

When gathering data, the following network protocols and ports are used:NetBIOS/SMB 445 (TCP)RPC (WMI) - 135 (TCP)SQL Server - 1433 (TCP)...

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712688.aspx Planning for Client Settings in Configuration ManagerUse client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to configure user and device settings for thehierarchy. Client settings include configurationoptions such as the hardware inventory and schedule, and thepolling schedule for client policy.

All Configuration Manager clients in the hierarchy use the Default Client Settings that are automatically createdwhen you install Configuration Manager. However,you can modify the default client settings and you cancreate custom client settings to override the default client settings for specific users or devices.When youcreate a set of custom client settings, you must assign it to one or more collections for the settingsto be applied to the collection members. If you apply multiple setsof custom client settings to the same user ordevice, you can control the order in which these settings are applied according to the order that you specify.Custom


device or user settings with an Order value of 1 are always processed last and will override any otherconfigurations. The Default Client Settings has a permanentorder of 10,000, which ensures it is always appliedbefore any custom settings are applied. When there is a conflict of settings, the client setting that was appliedlast(with the lower order value) overrides any previous settings. You can view the resultant client settings for auser or a device by using the System Center 2012Configuration Manager reports.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682067.aspx About Client Settings in Configuration ManagerAll client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager are managed in the Configuration Managerconsole from the Client Settings node in theAdministration workspace. A set of default settings is supplied withConfiguration Manager. When you modify the default client settings, these settings are applied toall clients inthe hierarchy. You can also configure custom client settings, which override the default client settings whenyou assign these to collections.Client settings for devices:Background Intelligent TransferClient PolicyCompliance SettingsComputer AgentComputer RestartEndpoint ProtectionHardware InventoryMetered Internet ConnectionsNetwork Access Protection (NAP)Power ManagementRemote ToolsSoftware DeploymentSoftware InventorySoftware UpdatesUser and Device Affinity

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682109.aspx How to Configure Client Settings in Configuration Manager You manage all client settings in SystemCenter 2012 Configuration Manager from the Client Settings node inthe Administration workspace of the Configuration Manager console. Modify the default settingswhen you wantto configure settings for all users and devices in the hierarchy that do not have any custom settings applied. Ifyou want to apply different settings tojust some users or devices, create custom settings and deploy these tocollections. Note:You can also use configuration items to manage clients to assess, track,and remediate theconfiguration compliance of devices.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682109.aspx#BKMK_CustomClientSettings How to Create and Deploy Custom Client SettingsTo configure and deploy custom client settingsFurther information:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682109#BKMK_CustomClientSettings Really not sure:-Create a new set of custom client agent settings for the marketing department and include the custom registryinformation.- Edit ClientSettings2 and include the custom registry information. <--- probably notBecause editing isn't that easy.It is common sense, that you just add another client setting and deploy it to the collection. Why? All settings can be separately deleted and especially named. Easierto handle.



Software Inventory and Hardware Inventory are enabled for all of the client computers. All of the client computers have an Application named App1 installed.App1 saves files to the C:\ABC folder.

All of the files saved by App1 have a file name extension of .abc. You configure Software Inventory to inventory all of the files that have the .abc extension and the.exeextension.

After six months, you discover that some of the client computers failed to inventory .abc files.All of theclient computers inventory .exe files.

You need to ensure that the .abc files are inventoried.

What should you do?

A. Modify C:\Program Files\App1\NO_SMS_On_Drive.sms.B. Delete C:\Program Files\App1\NO_SMS_On_Drive.sms.C. Modify C:\ABC\Skpswi.dat.D. Delete C:\ABC\Skpswi.dat.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh691018.aspx How to Exclude Folders from Software Inventory in Configuration Manager You can create a hidden filenamed Skpswi.dat and place it in the root of a client hard drive to exclude it fromSystem Center 2012 Configuration Manager software inventory. You can also placethis file in the root of anyfolder structure you want to exclude from software inventory. This procedure can be used to disable softwareinventory on a singleworkstation or server client, such as a large file server.Note: Software inventory will not inventory the client drive again unless this file is deleted from the drive ontheclient computer.

You create a report named Report1.Report1 is used by multiple users.


Users report that it takes too long to load Report1.You need to reduce the amount of time it takes to load Report1.

What should you do?

A. Enable caching for the report.B. Decrease the Size of the ReportServer database.C. Decrease the session timeout value for the Reports website.D. Increase the size of the ReportServerTempDB database.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522786.aspx Performance, Snapshots, Caching (Reporting Services)Report server performance is affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrentusers accessing reports, the amount of data in areport, and output format. To understand the performancefactors that are specific to your installation and which remedies will produce the results you want, you willneedto get baseline data and run tests.

General principles to consider include the following:Report processing and rendering are memory intensive operations. When possible, choose a computer thathas a lot of memory.

Hosting the report server and the report server database on separate computers tends to provide betterperformance than hosting both on a single high-endcomputer. If all reports are processing slowly, consider a scale-out deployment where multiple report server instancessupport a single report server database. Forbest results, use load balancing software to distribute requestsevenly across the deployment.

If a single report is processing slowly, tune report dataset queries if the report must run on demand. Youmight also consider using shared datasets that you cancache, caching the report, or running the report as asnapshot.If all reports process slowly in a specific format (for example, while rendering to PDF), consider file sharedelivery, adding more memory, or choosing a differentformat.

To find out how long it takes to process a report and other usage metrics, review the report server executionlog.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155927.aspx

Caching Reports (SSRS)A report server can cache a copy of a processed report and return that copy when a user opens the report. Toa user, the only evidence available to indicate thereport is a cached copy is the date and time that the reportran. If the date or time is not current and the report is not a snapshot, the report was retrieved fromcache.Caching can shorten the time required to retrieve a report if the report is large or accessed frequently. If theserver is rebooted, all cached instances are


reinstated when the Report Server Web service comes backonline.Caching is a performance-enhancement technique. The contents of the cache are volatile and can change asreports are added, replaced, or removed.

Correct Answer: BDSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712308.aspx#BKMK_HeartbeatDisc Planning for Discovery in Configuration Manager - About Heartbeat DiscoveryHeartbeat Discovery differs from other Configuration Manager discovery methods. It is enabled by default andruns on each computer client to create a discoverydata record (DDR).

Heartbeat Discovery runs either on a schedule configured for all clients in the hierarchy, or if manually invoked,on a specific client by running the Discovery DataCollection Cycle on the Action tab in a client's ConfigurationManager program. When Heartbeat Discovery runs, it creates a discovery data record (DDR) thatcontains theclient's current information including network location, NetBIOS name, and operational status details. It is asmall file, about 1KB, which is copied to amanagement point, and then processed by a primary site. Thesubmission of a Heartbeat Discovery DDR can maintain an active client's record in the database, andalsoforce discovery of an active client that might have been removed from the database, or that has beenmanuallyinstalled and not discovered by another discoverymethod. The default schedule for Heartbeat Discovery is set to every 7 days. If you change the heartbeat discoveryinterval, ensure that it runs more frequently thanthe site maintenance task Delete Aged DiscoveryData, which deletes inactive client records from the site database. You can configure the Delete AgedDiscoveryData task only for primary sites. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712679.aspx Planning for Boundaries and Boundary Groups in Configuration ManagerIn System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, a boundary is a network location on the intranet that cancontain one or more devices that you want to manage.Boundaries can be an IP subnet, Active Directory sitename, IPv6 Prefix, or an IP address range, and the hierarchy can include any combination of theseboundarytypes. To use a boundary, you must add the boundary to one or more boundary groups. Boundary groups arecollections of boundaries. By using boundarygroups, clients on the intranet can find an assigned site andlocate content when they have to install software, such as applications, software updates, andoperatingsystem images.

When clients are on the Internet, or they are configured as Internet-only clients, they do not use boundaryinformation. These clients cannot use automatic siteassignment and always download content from anydistribution point in their assigned site when the distribution point is configured to allow client connectionsfromthe Internet....Site AssignmentYou can configure each boundary group with an assigned site for clients. Clients join the assigned site of aboundary group that contains the client's current networklocation. When a boundary is added to multipleboundary groups that have different assigned sites, clients will nondeterministically select one of the sites.SystemCenter 2012 Configuration Manager does not support this overlapping boundary configuration for siteassignment.If you make a change to the site assignmentconfiguration of a boundary group, only new site assignmentactions are affected. Clients that have previously been assigned to a site, do not re-evaluate theirsiteassignment based on changes to the configuration of a boundary group.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb632879.aspx Delete Obsolete Client Discovery Data Task OverviewThe Delete Obsolete Client Discovery Data task deletes obsolete client records from the ConfigurationManager 2007 site database. A record that is markedobsolete typically was superseded by a newer record forthe same client. The newer record becomes the client's current record, and the older record becomesobsolete.When you enable this task, you should configure the schedule to run at an interval greater than the heartbeatdiscovery schedule. This allows clients tosend Discovery Data Records (DDRs) so that the obsolete bit is setcorrectly. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682132.aspx#BKMK_ClientHealthIntroduction to Client Deployment in Configuration Manager - Monitoring the Status of Client Computers inConfiguration ManagerUse the Client Status node in the Monitoring workspace of the Configuration Manager console to monitor thehealth and activity of client computers in your hierarchy.Configuration Manager uses the following twomethods to evaluate the overall status of client computers.

Client Activity: You can configure thresholds to determine whether a client is active, for example:Whether the client requested policy during the last seven days. Whether Heartbeat Discovery found the client during the last seven days. Whether the client senthardware inventory during the last seven days. When all these thresholds are exceeded, the client is determined to be inactive. Client Check: A client evaluationengine is installed with the Configuration Manager client, which periodicallyevaluates the health of the Configuration Manager client and its dependencies. Thisengine can check orremediate some problems with the Configuration Manager client...Client status uses the monitoring and reporting capabilities of Configuration Manager to provide information inthe Configuration Manager console about the healthand activity of the client. You can configure alerts to notifyyou when clients check results or client activity drops below a specified percentage of clients in acollection orwhen remediation fails on a specified percentage of clients.

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712688.aspx Planning for Client Settings in Configuration ManagerUse client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to configure user and device settings for thehierarchy. Client settings include configurationoptions such as the hardware inventory and schedule, and thepolling schedule for client policy. All Configuration Manager clients in the hierarchy use the DefaultClient Settings that are automatically createdwhen you install Configuration Manager. However, you can modify the default client settings and you cancreate customclient settings to override the default client settings for specific users or devices.

When you create a set of custom client settings, you must assign it to one or more collections for the settingsto be applied to the collection members. If you applymultiple sets of custom client settings to the same user ordevice, you can control the order in which these settings are applied according to the order that youspecify.Custom device or user settings with an Order value of 1 are always processed last and will override any otherconfigurations. The Default Client Settings hasa permanent order of 10,000, which ensures it is always appliedbefore any custom settings are applied. When there is a conflict of settings, the client setting thatwas appliedlast (with the lower order value) overrides any previous settings. You can view the resultant client settings for auser or a device by using the SystemCenter 2012 Configuration Manager reports. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682067.aspx About Client Settings in Configuration ManagerAll client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager are managed in theConfiguration Managerconsole from the Client Settings node in theAdministration workspace. A set of default settings is supplied withConfiguration Manager. When you modify the default client settings, these settings are applied toall clients inthe hierarchy. You can also configure custom client settings, which override the default client settings whenyou assign these to collections.

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682108.aspx Introduction to Operating System Deployment in Configuration Manager Methods Used to DeployOperating SystemsThere are several methods that you can use to deploy operating systems to Configuration Manager client computers:PXE initiated deployments: PXE-initiated deployments let client computers request a deployment over thenetwork. In this method of deployment, the operatingsystem image and a Windows PE boot image are sentto a distribution point that is configured to accept PXE boot requests.Multicast deployments: Multicast deployments conserve network bandwidth by concurrently sending data tomultiple clients instead of sending a copy of the data toeach client over a separate connection. In thismethod of deployment, the operating system image is sent to a distribution point. This in turn deploys theimage whenclient computers request the deployment. Bootable Media Deployments: Bootable media deployments let you deploy the operating system when thedestinationcomputer starts. When the destination computer starts, it retrieves the task sequence, theoperating system image, and any other required content from the network.Because that content is notincluded on the media, you can update the content without having to re-create the media.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712275.aspx Planning a Content Deployment Migration Strategy in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

When theclient's current network location is in a boundary group that is associated with thedistribution point, it is considered a preferred distribution point for that client. Whena client requests content,the client first connects to a preferred distribution point to retrieve the application or package content. If thecontent is not available on anypreferred distribution points, depending on the configuration options that youset, the client can retrieve the content from a fallback distribution point.Further information:A protected distribution point will limit deployment to a predefined boundary.

Explanation/Reference:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712290.aspxHow to Extend Hardware Inventory in Configuration ManagerSystem Center 2012 Configuration Manager hardware inventory reads information about devices by using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI isthe Microsoft implementation of web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM), which is an industry standard for accessing management information in an enterpriseenvironment.In previous versions of Configuration Manager, you could extend hardware inventory by modifying the file sms_def.mof on the site server.In System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you no longer edit the sms_def.mof file as you did in Configuration Manager 2007. Instead, you can enable anddisable WMI classes, and add new classes to collect by hardware inventory by using client settings. Configuration Manager provides the following methods toextend hardware inventory:Enable or disable existing inventory classes - You can enable or disable the default inventory classes used by Configuration Manager or you can create customclient settings that allow you to collect different hardware inventory classes from specified collections of clients.Add a new inventory class - You can add a new inventory class from the WMI namespace of another device.Import and export hardware inventory classes - You can import and export Managed Object Format(MOF) files that contain inventory classes from the Configuration Manager console.Create NOIDMIF Files - Use NOIDMIF files to collect information about client devices that cannot be inventoried by Configuration Manager.Create IDMIF Files - Use IDMIF files to collect information about assets in your organization that are not associated with a Configuration Manager client, forexample, projectors, photocopiers and network printers.http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa394143%28v=vs.85%29.aspxWin32_Environment class (Windows)The Win32_Environment WMI class represents an environment or system environment setting on a Windows computer system.

Explanation/Reference:How to Monitor Applications in Configuration ManagerIn Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you can monitor the deployment of all software, including software updates, compliance settings,applications, task sequences, and packages and programs.

You can monitor deployments by using the Monitoring workspace in the Configuration Manager console or by using reports.Applications in Configuration Manager support state-based monitoring, which allows you to track the last application deployment state for users and devices. Thesestate messages display information about individual devices. For example, if an application is deployed to a collection of users, you can view the compliance stateof the deployment and the deployment purpose in the Configuration Manager console.An application deployment state has one of the following compliance states:Success – The application deployment succeeded or was found to be already installed.In Progress – The application deployment is in progress.Unknown – The state of the application deployment could not be determined. This state is not applicable for deployments with a purpose of Available. This state istypically displayed when state messages from the client are not yet received.Requirements Not Met – The application was not deployed because it was not compliant with a dependency or a requirement rule, or because the operating systemto which it was deployed was not applicable.


Error – The application failed to deploy because of an error....To monitor the state of an application in the Configuration Manager console1. In the Configuration Manager console, click Monitoring.2. In the Monitoring workspace, click Deployments.3. To review deployment details for each compliance state and the devices in that state, select a deployment, and then, on the Home tab, in the Deployment group,click View Status to open the Deployment Status pane. In this pane, you can view the assets with each compliance state. Click any asset to view more detailedinformation about the deployment status to that asset.4. To review general status information about an application deployment, select a deployment, and then click the Summary tab in the Selected Deployment window.5. To review information about the applications deployment type, select a deployment, and then click the Deployment Types tab in the Selected Deploymentwindow.

Compliance is evaluated by defining a configuration baseline that contains the configuration items that youwant to evaluate and settings and rules that describe thelevel of compliance you must have. You can importthis configuration data from the web in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Configuration Packsasbest practices that are defined by Microsoft and other vendors, in Configuration Manager, and that you thenimport into Configuration Manager. Or, anadministrative user can create new configuration items andconfiguration baselines.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712331.aspx How to Create Windows Configuration Items for Compliance Settings in Configuration Manager Createconfiguration items in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to define configurations that youwant to manage and assess for compliance on devices.There are different types of configuration items:Application configuration itemUsed to determine compliance for an application. This can include whether the application is installed anddetails about its configuration.Operating system configuration itemUsed to determine compliance for settings that relate to the operating system and itsconfiguration.Software updates configuration itemAutomatically created when you download software updates with Configuration Manager.You do not create or see theseconfiguration items in the Compliance Settings node, but you can selectthem when you define configuration baselines.

General configuration itemUsed to determine compliance for mobile devices.Steps to Create a New Configuration Item for Client Computers Use the following required steps to create a configuration item by using the Create Configuration


Item Wizard:Step 1: Start the Create Configuration Item Wizard.Step 2: Provide general information about the configuration item. Step 3: Provide detection method information for the configuration item. Step 4: Configure settingsfor the configuration item. Step 5: Configure compliance rules for the configuration item. Step 6: Specify supported platforms for the configuration item.Step 7: Complete the wizard.

Automatically uses client installation properties defined on the Client tab in the ClientPush InstallationProperties dialog box.Can cause high network traffic when pushing to large collections. Can only be used on computers that have been discovered by System Center 2012ConfigurationManager.Cannot be used to install clients in a workgroup.A client push installation account must be specified that has administrative rights to the intended clientcomputer.Windows Firewall must be configured on client computers with exceptions so that client push installationcan be completed.You cannot cancel client push installation. When you use this client installation method for a site,Configuration Manager tries to install the client on all discoveredresources and retries any failures for upto 7 days.


Software update point-based installationCan use your existing software updates infrastructure to manage the client software. Can automatically install the client software on new computers if WindowsServer Update Services(WSUS) and Group Policy settings in Active Directory Domain Services are configured correctly.Does not require computers to bediscovered before the client can be installed. Computers can read client installation properties that have been published to Active Directory DomainServices.Will reinstall the client software if it is removed.Does not require you to configure and maintain an installation account for the intended client computer.Requires a functioning software updates infrastructure as a prerequisite. Must use the same server for client installation and software updates, and this server mustreside in aprimary site.To install new clients, you must configure an Group Policy Object (GDO) in Active Directory DomainServices with the client's active software update point and port. If the Active Directory schema is not extended for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, youmustuse Group Policy settings to provision computers with client installation properties. Group Policy installationDoes not require computers to be discoveredbefore the client can be installed.Can be used for new client installations or for upgrades. Computers can read client installation properties that have been publishedto Active Directory DomainServices.Does not require you to configure and maintain an installation account for the intended client computer.Can cause high network traffic if a large number of clients are being installed. If the Active Directory schema is not extended for System Center 2012 ConfigurationManager, you mustuse Group Policy settings to add client installation properties to computers in your site. Logon script installationDoes not require computers to bediscovered before the client can be installed.Supports using command-line properties for CCMSetup. Can cause high network traffic if a large number of clients arebeing installed over a short time period.Can take a long time to install on all client computers if users do not frequently log on to the network.Manual installation

Does not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed.Can be useful for testing purposes.Supports using command-line properties for CCMSetup.No automation, therefore time consuming.

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712701.aspx Planning for Communications in Configuration ManagerPlanning for Communications Across Forests in Configuration Manager When your Configuration Manager design spans multiple Active Directory domains andforests, use theadditional information in the following table to help you plan for the following types of communication:..Communication in a site that spans forests: Does not require a two-way forest trust. To support clients primary sites support the installation of each site system roleon computers in otherforests.Note: Two exceptions are the out of band service point and the Application Catalog web servicepoint. Each must be installed in the same forest as the site server.When the site system role accepts connections from the Internet, as a security best practice, install thesesite system roles in an untrusted forest (for example, in aperimeter network) so that the forest boundaryprovides protection for the site server.

When you specify a computer to be a site system server, you must specify the Site System InstallationAccount. This account must have local administrativecredentials to connect to, and then install sitesystem roles on the specified computer.

When you install a site system role in an untrusted forest, you must select the site system option Requirethe site server to initiate connections to this site system.This configuration enables the site server toestablish connections to the site system server to transfer data. This prevents the site system server thatis in theuntrusted location from initiating contact with the site server that is inside your trusted network.These connections use the Site System Installation Account that youuse to install the site system server.The management point and enrollment point site system roles connect to the site database. By default,when these site systemroles are installed, Configuration Manager configures the computer account ofthe new site system server as the connection account and adds the account to theappropriate SQLServer database role. When you install these site system roles in an untrusted domain, you mustconfigure the site system role connection accountto enable the site system role to obtain informationfrom the database. If you configure a domain user account for these connection accounts, ensure that theaccount hasappropriate access to the SQL Server database at that site:* Management point: Management Point Database Connection Account* Enrollment point: Enrollment Point Connection Account Consider the following additional information when you plan for site system roles in other forests:* If you run a Windows Firewall, configure the applicable firewall profiles to pass communicationsbetween the site database server and computers that are installedwith remote site system roles.

* When the Internet-based management point trusts the forest that contains the user accounts, userpolicies are supported. When no trust exists, only computerpolicies are supported.Further information:The Management Point will collect all Client data and forward it to the Primary Site Server.

Explanation/Reference:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712290.aspxHow to Extend Hardware Inventory in Configuration ManagerSystem Center 2012 Configuration Manager hardware inventory reads information about devices by using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI isthe Microsoft implementation of web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM), which is an industry standard for accessing management information in an enterpriseenvironment.In previous versions of Configuration Manager, you could extend hardware inventory by modifying the file sms_def.mof on the site server...In System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you no longer edit the sms_def.mof file as you did in Configuration Manager 2007. Instead, you can enable anddisable WMI classes, and add new classes to collect by hardware inventory by using client settings. Configuration Manager provides the following methods toextend hardware inventory:Enable or disable existing inventory classes - You can enable or disable the default inventory classes used by Configuration Manager or you can create customclient settings that allow you to collect different hardware inventory classes from specified collections of clients.Add a new inventory class - You can add a new inventory class from the WMI namespace of another device.Import and export hardware inventory classes - You can import and export Managed Object Format (MOF) files that contain inventory classes from theConfiguration Manager console.Create NOIDMIF Files - Use NOIDMIF files to collect information about client devices that cannot be inventoried by Configuration Manager.Create IDMIF Files - Use IDMIF files to collect information about assets in your organization that are not associated with a Configuration Manager client, forexample, projectors, photocopiers and network printers.

The properties of this class can be modified by the user to customizethe desktop.Further information:The screenshots show the wizard screen.Since we need to inventory WMI information, that means we need Hardware Inventory and you can only do that with a Custom Client Device Setting:



You have a sales department that contains 500 employees, 20 of whom are sales managers. Each salesdepartment employee has a desktop computer that isconfigured as their primary device.

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg699365.aspx How to Manage User Device Affinity in Configuration Manager User device affinity in Microsoft SystemCenter 2012 Configuration Manager is a method of associating a userwith one or more specified devices. User device affinity can eliminate the need to know thenames of a user'sdevices in order to deploy an application to that user. Instead of deploying the application to all of the user'sdevices, you deploy the application tothe user. Then, user device affinity automatically ensures that theapplication install on all devices that are associated with that user.

You can define primary devices. These are typically the devices that users use on a daily basis to perform theirwork. When you create an affinity between a userand a device, you gain more software deployment options.For example, if a user requires Microsoft Office Visio, you can install it on the user's primary device byusing aWindows Installer deployment. However, on a device that is not a primary device, you might deploy MicrosoftOffice Visio as a virtual application. You canalso use user device affinity to predeploy software on a user'sdevice when the user is not logged in. Then, when the user logs on, the application is already installedandready to run.

QUESTION 89Your company has a private cloud that is managed by using a System Center 2012 Operations Manager infrastructure.

From Operations Manager, you create a group named Group1.

You add multiple servers to Group1.

You have an Active Directory group named Group2.

You configure a dashboard for the users in Group2 to manage the client computers in Group1.

You need to ensure that the users in Group2 can achieve the following tasks:View open critical alerts generated by Group1.Identify whether a monitor generated an alert.

Which object should you add to the dashboard?

A. An alert viewB. A state viewC. An alert widgetD. An event viewE. A state widget

Correct Answer: C



Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Adding an alert widget to a dashboardStep 1: In an empty dashboard cell, click on the "Click to add widget" link.This opens the New Dashboard and Widget Wizard.Step 2: Now you are presented with a selection of the available widgets.Select Alert Widgets and then click Next.Step 3: Once you give your widget a name and a description, you can choose a group or object for which todisplay alerts.

The ability to select between "Groups" and "Groups and objects" allows you to change the scope of objects forwhich you will receive alerts.

If you only want to target a certain object within a group or class, the "Groups and objects" option allows you to do so, while the "Groups" option enables you to viewalerts for allobjects within the group you choose.

Step 4: Next you can specify the criteria for the alerts you will receive. You may choose the Severity, Priority, and Resolution State of the alerts. For example, I willreceive alerts for warnings and information of all priority, and in either the new or closedstate.

Step 5: Lastly, select the columns to display for each alert. You can also decide how the alerts are sorted by default as well as how they are grouped. One greataddition to the alert widget that is not present in the alert view is the addition of the "Is Monitor Alert"column.

This column allows you to see whether the alert was generated by monitor rather than a rule. In my example, I will group alerts by "Is Monitor Alert" and sort by "LastModified".And there you have it.We've configured a dashboard with a powerful alert widget. It is a great way to quickly view the alerts you care about organized in the way you want. If you aren'tsatisfied with your configuration or if your needs change, you can always click the button whichgives you the option to reconfigure, personalize, or remove yourwidget.

Reconfiguring a widget opens a wizard with your previously chosen widget configuration and allows you tochange all of options to keep up to date with your needs.

Here you can change everything from the groups or objects targeted, to the name of the widget. Personalizing a widget allows you to change the display options forthat widget.

Here you can change which columns are displayed and how your alerts are grouped and sorted. This allows you to view the alerts within a context that is mostappropriate to you, but without having to worryabout the primary configuration details.

QUESTION 91Your company deploys System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).

You plan to perform a new server deployment. The new server deployment will include a custom application named App1.

You use Server Application Virtualization (Server App-V) to virtualize App1. You create an application profile.

You create a service deployment to deploy the App1 by using a Windows Server 2012 R2 template.

After deploying the service, you discover that App1 was not installed. You view the application profile as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)


You need to ensure that App1 is installed when you deploy the service.

What should you add to the application profile?

A. A Script Application that adds the Server App-V Agent


B. A Script Application that adds the WebDeploy AgentC. A Script to Application that installs the Server App-V AgentD. A Script to Application that installs the WebDeploy Agent


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:You use Server Application Virtualization (Server App-V) to virtualize App1" (App-V application package, not a Web Deploy application package)

Please see the following page for more information on why I think the answer is A. Here is the specific quotefrom that page-"In VMM in System Center 2012 R2, ifyou kept the Compatibility option (described in the previous step) set tothe default option, General, you can add an application that will be deployed by running ascript, such as ascript based on a Setup.exe installation program.

QUESTION 116Your company has a private cloud that is managed by using a System Center 2012 Operations Managerinfrastructure.


The network contains three devices.

The devices are configured as shown in the following table.

You need to ensure that Operations Manager can discover all of the devices.

What should you do?

A. From the Operations Manager console, create one group and set the group to Dynamic Members.B. From the Operations Manager console, create two Run As Accounts.C. From the Operations Manager Shell, run the Set-SCOMUserRolecmdlet.D. From the Operations Manager Shell, run the Enable-SCOMDiscoverycmdlet.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Each SNMPv3 device would need its own run as account. As there are no SNMPv3 devices in the list only v1/v2 we need just one run as account per differentcommunitystring.As there are two diffrent community strings used for the 3 devices we need two run as accounts. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212920.aspx


The private cloud has a connection to a partner company.

The connection uses a router named Router1.

Router1 is owned by the partner company.

The partner company's security policy states that only partner company network administrators can access theconfiguration information of the partner company'snetwork devices.

You need to monitor the availability of Router1.

The solution must meet the security policy requirement.

Which access mode should you configure to discover Router1?


A. ICMPB. SNMPv3C. SNMPv1 and SNMPv2D. ICMP, SNMPv1, and SNMPv2E. ICMP and SNMPv3


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:It says we must not access the configuration information of the partner company's network devices. So SNMPis not a choice, because it will give us just that. Tomonitor the availability, in other words the online/offline status of the device, we may use ICMP.Of course the device must answer to our ICMP requests like "ping", but that is not part of the question.

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:The Default Management Pack file contains common elements such as views at the top level of the Monitoringworkspace.This is an unsealed management pack file so that you can create views and folders at this level.It should not be used for any other purpose.For creating elements such as monitors and rules, create a new management pack file.Selecting a Management Pack Filehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh457560.aspx The Default management pack that ships withOpsMgr 2007 is used to store very specific information for the management group. It is a widely known best practice to NOT write any custom rules, monitors,groups, views, or overrides to thisMP.Even customers who know this - and try to enforce this across their organizations.... will still inadvertently get junk in their default MP....they will save things here byaccident, or by granting access to advanced operators who aren't educated onthis topic. The main problem with doing so....is that we will build a dependency for thisMP on any MP it references....and therefore we wont ever be able todelete those management packs, until we clean this Default MP up, and start enforcing bestpractices. http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2008/11/11/cleaning-up-the-default-mp.aspx



The network contains an Operations Manager infrastructure and a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)infrastructure.

The private cloud contains a clustered VMM solution that has two virtualization hosts.

The VMM solution hosts seven virtual machines.

The virtual machines are configured as shown in the following table.

You configure Dynamic Optimization to use the following settings:A CPU Dynamic Optimization threshold of 30 percentA CPU host reserve threshold of 15 percentLow aggressiveness

You monitor the VMM solution and discover that the virtual machines rarely migrate from Server1 to Server2when CPU utilization exceeds the configured threshold.


You need to increase the likelihood of the virtual machines migrating from Server1 to Server2 when CPUutilization exceeds the configured threshold.

What should you do?

A. set the Aggressiveness to High.B. Enable Power Optimization.C. Configure a host profile.D. Modify the CPU host reserve threshold.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://blogs.technet.com/b/scvmm/archive/2011/05/04/dynamic-optimization-and- poweroptimization-in-scvmm-2012.aspxGood post here:What have you configured regarding the dynamic optimization? How aggressive is the treshold for optimizingyour cluster? First of all, you must check the option"Automatically migrate virtual machines to balance load".

Second, specify how aggressive the optimization should be. The more agressive, the more likely to live migrate VMs even for small gain. Last, you can alsoconfigure the resource treshold for when optimization should kick in.Default it`s set to 30% CPU and 512 MB RAM.To test and verify, right click on your cluster, and click "optimize hosts". VMM will check if it`s anything to gain, on demand, and eventually live migrate VMs tobalance the load.http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/virtualmachingmgrhyperv/thread/45dfd50da2a4-4a7a-9c88-53fd7cedda77


The network contains two network segments that are separated by a firewall.

You have a management server named Server1.

You create a discovery rule and configure the rule to discover SNMP devices.

You discover that only the devices on the network segment that contains Server1 are discovered.

You need to ensure that the devices supporting SNMP on both network segments are discovered.


Which firewall port or ports should you allow on the firewall?

A. UDP 161B. TCP 161 and UDP 22C. UDP 5723 and UDP 5724D. TCP 162


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:SNMP uses the default UDP port 161 for general SNMP messages and UDP port 162 for SNMP trapmessages.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959643.aspx


You deploy an application visualization solution.You deploy a server named Server1, and then you install the Remote Desktop Services server role.

Server1 is monitored by using Operations Manager.

You deploy a virtualized application named App1 to Server1.

You need to set the state of Server1 to critical if CPU utilization by App1 exceeds 80 percent for five minutes.


A. a ruleB. a monitorC. a service level objective (SLO)D. an event subscriptionE. a synthetic transaction



Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Service level ObjectivesService level objectives are measurements to ensure that you are meeting defined service level commitments.In Operations Manager, you define a service level objective the set of monitors that you need to track (suchas performance or availability) and then run reportsagainst that service level objective to ensure that you aremeeting your goals.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212753.aspx SLOs are agreed as a means of measuring the performance of the Service Provider. SLOs arespecificmeasurable characteristics of the SLA such as availability, throughput, frequency, response time, or quality.

This concept is part of SLM in SCSM 2012.http://blogs.technet.com/b/privatecloud/archive/2013/03/26/service-manager-2012-and-service- levelmanagement-part-1.aspx

QUESTION STATES:"You need to set the state of Server1 to critical if CPU utilization by App1 exceeds 80 percent for five minutes."SLOs don't change the state of an object, monitors do:Create a monitor if...You want to affect the health of an object. In addition to generating an alert, a monitor will affect the healthstate of its target object. This is displayed in state viewsand availability reports. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh457603.aspx

QUESTION 129Your company help desk uses System Center 2012 Service Manager to manage and track problems.

You need to ensure that the manager of the help desk is notified automatically when a high- priority incident isupdated.

What should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate configuration in the answer area.



A.B.C.D.





Explanation:Service Manager uses notification subscriptions to automatically send notifications to selected recipients whena selected condition occurs.Source: System Center 2012 Service Manager ConsoleMy opinion it would be the Subscriptions menu as it gives access to the 'Notification Subscription' wizard.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff460891.aspx

Before notifications are sent, first configure each notification channel, such as the settings for Simple MailTransfer Protocol (SMTP). Notification messages are sentbased on a notification template. Therefore, you willneed to create a notification template. You can then use the Notification Subscription wizard to subscribe agroupof users to a notification that will be sent whenever the changes that you specify occur. Finally, you canverify that a notification is sent by manually generating thechange.

You install the servers shown in the following table.

The company's compliance department identifies the following tasks that must be performed:Back up individual files from VM1.Back up the configuration settings of VM1.Restore the configuration settings of VM1.Restore individual files from VM1 to an alternate location.


The compliance department administrators recommend installing the DPM agent on Server1, and thenperforming a full backup.

You need to identify which task is NOT met by the recommended solution.

Which task should you identify?

A. Restore individual files from VM1 to an alternate location.B. Restore the configuration settings of VM1.C. Back up the configuration settings of VM1.D. Back up individual files from VM1.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:In the event of disaster recovery, System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010 allows you to recovervirtual machines as files to a network folder. You canthen copy those files to an alternate Hyper-V host server. However, to start a virtual machine on an alternate Hyper-V host server, you have to manually createandconfigure the virtual machine using the recovered files. DPM 2010 supports alternate location recovery (ALR), which allows you to recover a Hyper-V virtualmachineto an alternate stand-alone Hyper-V host or to a cluster. The recovered virtual machine is already registered and configured on an alternate Hyper-V hostserver.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634209.aspx In a virtualized environment the issue is whether tobackup from inside the guest or from the host. The latterprovides "bare metal restore" of an entire VM where something's gone catastrophically wrong with aVM (or the host) but in general it doesn't provide granularrestore of files / folders. DPM 2010 added Item Level Restore (ILR), allowing you to restore individual files or folders within a VM eventhough it had only beenbacked up from the host. But this capability was only available when DPM 2010 ran on physical hardware, if the DPM server itself was ina VM this capability was notavailable. DPM 2012 fixes this glitch and can now do ILR even when the DPM server is a VM. http://4sysops.com/archives/dpm-2012-part-3-other-improvements/


The datacenter contains a private cloud that is managed by a System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager(VMM) infrastructure.

The infrastructure contains two management servers and 10 Hyper-V hosts.

You configure VMM to use an update server and to synchronize the updates by using a windows Server

Update Services (WSUS) server named WSUS1.

You attempt to verify compliance with the Sample Baseline for Security Updates.


You view the console as shown in the exhibit.(Click the Exhibit button.)



You need to ensure that you can verify compliance for all of the Hyper-V hosts.


A. the update classifications of the update serverB. the Assignment Scope of the baselineC. the default configuration providerD. the Network settings of the All Hosts host group


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:In the VMM console, open the Fabric workspace.On the Home tab, in the Add group, click Add Resources, and then click Update Server. The Add Windows Server Update Services Server dialog box opens.

In Computer name, enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the WSUS server (for example,VMMServer01.contoso.com).Specify which TCP/IP port that the WSUS website listens on for connections (for example, port 8530).

Enter credentials for connecting to the WSUS server. The account must have administrator rights on the WSUS server. If necessary, select the Use Secure SocketLayer (SSL) to communicate with the WSUS server and client'scheck box.Click Add.The WSUS server will be added to VMM, followed by initial synchronization of the updates catalog.

Depending on how many update classifications and products you chose when you installed the WSUS server,this operation can take a long time, depending onsuch factors as network traffic and the load on the WSUSserver.To find out the status of the operation, monitor the status of the Add Update Server and Synchronize UpdateServer jobs in the Jobs window or in the Jobsworkspace.

NoteAfter you enable update management in VMM, you should manage the WSUS server only through VMM,unless you are using a WSUS server in a ConfigurationManager environment. To verify that the WSUS server was added to VMM successfully:In the Fabric workspace, on the Fabric pane, expand Servers, and click Update Server.The results pane should display the WSUS server.

In the Library workspace, on the Library pane, expand Update Catalog and Baselines, and then click UpdateCatalog.

The results pane should display the updates that were downloaded during WSUS synchronization.


QUESTION 135You deploy System Center 2012 Operations Manager.

You create two unsealed management packs named MP1 and MP2.

You create an override for MP1.

You create a group in MP2.You need to apply the override for MP1 to the group in MP2.

What should you do before you apply the override?

A. Create a new class in MP2.B. Seal MP1.C. Seal MP2.D. Create a new class in MP1.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:When you create a group, you save it to an unsealed management pack. However, an element in an unsealed management pack, such as a group, cannotreference an element in adifferent unsealed management pack, such as an override or a view. If you are going to use a group to target an override or scope a view,you must either save the group to thesame unsealed management pack as the override or view, or you must seal the management pack thatcontains the group.If you save the group to the same unsealed management pack as the override or view, you can only use thatgroup for overrides and views that are also contained inthat unsealed management pack.If you seal the management pack that contains the group, you can reference that group from other unsealedmanagement packs.However, you cannot easily change any group settings in the sealed management pack or add new groups tothe sealed management pack.http://www.code4ward.net/main/Blog/tabid/70/EntryId/130/Implications-when-using-groups- from- a-sealed-MPfor-overrides.aspx

QUESTION 141Your company has a private cloud that is managed by using a System Center 2012 Operations Managerinfrastructure.The network contains an Active Directory forest named adatum.com.

Operations Manager monitors a server named Operations1.

Operations1 has a computer account in an organizational unit (OU) name ServerOU1.


You create a group named GP1 as shown in the exhibit.(Click the Exhibit button.)

You create a rule named OMRule1 that generates an alert when an error is added to the Application log.

You target OMRule1 to GP1.

You discover that alerts fail to be generated when errors are added to the Application log on Operations1.

You need to ensure that an alert is generated when an error is added to the Application log on Operations1.


A. the target of OMRulel1B. the dynamic membership of GP1C. the category of OMRule1D. the explicit membership of GP1



Explanation/Reference:Explanation:How does a rule get to an agent?For any particular rule/monitor, OpsMgr will enumerate all instances of the target class and apply the rule toeach.

If there are no instances of the target class on a particular agent, then the rule will do nothing.It's that simple.

If I can't target groups, why are they listed when I select a target for a rule? Groups are classes just like anyother.

They're singleton classes where the class and the instance are one and the same, but they are classesnonetheless which is why they show up in the list with allother classes.

There are really very few circumstances where you will target a rule at a group though.What if I do target a group?

You can apply a rule/monitor directly to a group, but it will execute against the group object itself.

OpsMgr will not enumerate members of the group and apply the rule to each. Any rules targeted at groups will actually operate on the Root Management Serversince groups have no hostand unhosted objects are managed by the RMS.How do I target some group of objects then?

To the specific question of how to get a particular rule/monitor to a subset of components, you have two basicoptions.Let's say for example, you have a particular subset of web sites that you need a particular rule to apply.

You could target that rule at the IIS 2003 Web Site class for example, but that would apply the rule to allinstances of that class.It would probably apply to sites that you didn't want. Option 1 would be to create a new class and target the rule at the class. In the case of an IIS site, this wouldmean that you would need to go to the Authoring Console or raw XML andcreate a new class and discovery.That's a more advanced solution that most customers will do and probably overkill anyway. Option 2 is the create a rule target at the whole class and disable it.Create a group with the sites you want and create an override for that group to enable your rule. This might sound like a workaround, but it's a completely validsolution.How do I know if I'm selecting the right target?The easiest method to validate you are using a target that actually has instances is to use the DiscoveredInventory view in the Operations Console prior to creating your rule/monitor. In the Actions pane is an option called "Change target type..." that will bring up thesame Select a Target Typedialog box that you see when you select the target for a rule/monitor. This view will list all instances of the target class you select. Youcan validate which agents have an instance of that class and how many instances each has. If there are no instances listed, then the rule isn't going to do anything.If there are instances, then you not only be confident that the rule/monitor will execute on the agent, but youcan also view the properties of the instance that will be


accessible to any rules/monitors targeted at it.

Operations Manager Dynamic Group ExamplesIn Operations Manager, groups are logical collections of objects, such as Windows-based computers, harddisks, or instances of Microsoft SQL Server. Groups arepopulated by explicitly adding objects to the group or dynamically according to criteria you set.For more information on the use of groups, see Creating and Managing Groups in the Operations Guide.This article provides example of group definitions.The examples describe the items to select in the Query Builder and the resulting formula:



QUESTION 142The network contains two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2008 R2.

The private cloud contains two servers.

The servers are configured as shown in the following table.

The network segments are separated by a firewall.

All of the TCP ports from 1 to 1024 are allowed on the firewall. You need to ensure that Server1 can send security events to Server2.

What should you do?

A. From the firewall, allow TCP 51909 from Network1 to Network2.B. From the firewall, allow TCP 5723 from Network1 to Network2.C. Deploy an Operations Manager gateway server.D. Deploy an SMTP smart host.

Correct Answer: A



Explanation/Reference:Explanation:ACS Forwarders Separated from the ACS Collector by a Firewall Because of the limited communicationbetween an ACS forwarder and an ACS collector you onlyneed to open the inbound TCP port 51909 on afirewall to enable an ACS forwarder, separated from your network by a firewall, to reach the ACS collector.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb309575.aspx


The network contains an SMTP host named mail.contoso.com.

You need to configure Operations Manager to use mail.contoso.com to send email notifications.

What should you do?

A. Create a channel.B. Configure the agent proxy setting.C. Create a rule.D. Create an internal connector subscription.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:How to Enable an Email Notification ChannelTo configure alert notifications for System Center 2012 ?Operations Manager, your first task is to enable anotification channel.This topic describes how to configure a channel that will send alert notifications to subscribers by using email.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212914.aspx

QUESTION 144Your role of Systems Administrator at ABC.com includes the management of the company's private cloud.

The private cloud is hosted on an internal System Center 2012 infrastructure.

System Center 2012 Operations Manager (SCOM) is used to monitor all network devices.


The network has a leased line connection to your ISP.

A router managed by the ISP connects the leased line to the LAN. The router is configured to allow only the ISP to access the configuration of the router to complywith thesecurity policy of the ISP.

You want to use System Center 2012 - Operations Manager (SCOM) to monitor the router and alert you if therouter goes offline.

You need to configure SCOM to discover the router while adhering to the ISP security policy.

Which access mode should you use?

A. SNMPv2 only.B. ICMP only.C. ICMP and SNMPv2.D. SNMPv2 and SNMPv3.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:This is a tricky question, but the answer is B, ICMP (ping) only. The question says "Operations Manager (SCOM) is used to monitor all network devices."... Thismade methink that the answer had to be both ICMP & SNMPv2 (C), but that is wrong! It is wrong because if we specifythat a device uses both ICMP and SNMP,Operations Manager must be able to contact the device by usingboth methods or discovery will fail. So it has to be B. Also worth noting that in Operations Manager,only ONE network discovery rule can be running perManagement/Gateway server. Each server can only run one network discovery. Here's a good post regardingnetwork discovery in SCOM. http://blogs.technet.com/b/ptsblog/archive/2011/11/28/network-monitoring-with-system-center- operationsmanager-2012.aspx


The private cloud is hosted on an internal System Center 2012 infrastructure.

Operations Manager (SCOM) is used to monitor the servers in the private System Center 2012 cloud.

An SCOM monitor targets all the servers in the private cloud.

You want to create an override for the monitor to target only the servers that have a specific applicationinstalled.

A registry value is used to identify the servers with the application installed.


Which two of the following should you create to use with the override? (Choose two).

A. A Dynamic GroupB. A Static Group.C. A Workflow.D. A Task.E. An Attribute.

Correct Answer: AESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:AEadditionally, here is a decent write-up of a similar scenario... http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2009/06/10/creating-custom-dynamic-computer-groups-basedon-registry-keys-on-agents.aspx


The private cloud is hosted on an internal System Center 2012 infrastructure. The network includes servers that run Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and aremanaged by servers runningSystem Center 2012 - Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).

You are configuring a hardware profile in VMM.

The hardware profile will be used to create virtual machines configured for Windows Network Load Balancing.

In the Network Adapter Properties, you configure the network adapter to be connected to a logical network andto use a Static IP address from the Static IP Pool.

You now need to configure the MAC address options.

Which two of the following options should you configure? (Choose two).

A. You should select the option for a Dynamic MAC Address.B. You should select the option for a Static MAC Address.C. You should tick the Enable Spoofing of MAC Addresses checkbox.D. You should clear the Enable Spoofing of MAC Addresses checkbox.

Correct Answer: BCSection: (none)


Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Answers C,BIn order for NLB service to function properly, it will assign all clustered NIC the same MAC address. It cannotdo this if spoofing is disabled, so answer C is valid.Additionally, we want to make sure that once the MACaddresses are set by NLB, they don't change, this means answer B is valid.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742455.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2009/05/21/new-in-hyper-v-windows-server-2008- r2-part-2-macspoofing.aspx(Since VMM is an abstraction to hyperv, we can assume hyperV NLB requirements are thesame as VMM NLB requirements.)


The company has a System Center 2012 infrastructure that includes System Center 2012 - Service Manager(SCSM).You use Service Manager for Service Level Management.

You need to create a service level objective (SLO) in Service Manager for incidents that meet the followingcriteria:Priority = 1 Incident Category = EmailProblemAssigned User = Empty

What should be your first step?

A. You should first create a Service Template.B. You should first create a Connector.C. You should first create a Queue.D. You should first create a Query.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:C.SLO needs queue first (queue creates the relationship between incident type, priority and metric/escalationpath)here is additional information to support the answerC (queue). The first paragraph under "Queue:" seems toreference this question directly. http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2012/01/25/scsm-2012-service-levelmanagement.aspx"Queues:With queues you can group different work items in Service Manager (SCSM 2010 and SCSM 2012) by criteria.


For instance: All Incidents with Priority 2 AND Incident Category ,,Mail Problem" AND Assigned User is empty.Queues are used in SCSM 2012 SLA Management to apply the SLA to a group of work items.SCSM 2012 console -> Library -> Queues"

QUESTION 148You work as a Network Administrator at ABC.com.

The network includes a System Center 2012 infrastructure.

System Center 2012 - Service Manager is used by the help desk department to track any problems reportedwith network devices, servers or computers. You wantto be notified every time a new incident that pertains to a server problem is opened.

You open the System Center 2012 Service Manager Console.

What should you do next?

A. You should configure an announcement.B. You should configure a subscription.C. You should configure a template.D. You should configure a connector.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Although you will need a subscription to receive the messages, you need a template first (to satisfy therequirement --You want to be notified every time a newincident that pertains to a server problem is opened")

When you create a template, you can specify a target class. The target class is used to target certain types ofincidents for notifications.

you can modify the default client settings and you cancreate custom client settings to override the default client settings for specific users or devices.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682139.aspx Introduction to Compliance Settings in Configuration Manager ..Compliance is evaluated by defining a configuration baseline that contains the configuration items that youwant to evaluate and settings and rules that describe thelevel of compliance you must have.

QUESTION 161Your network contains a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server.

All client computers are configured as WSUS clients.

All of the client computers have Windows Firewall enabled. Windows Firewall is configured to allow File and Printer Sharing. Users are not configured as localAdministrators on their client computers.You deploy System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.You need to identify which methods you can use to deploy the Configuration Manager client to an ofthe client computers.

Which client installation methods should you identify? (Choose all that Apply.)

A. a logon script installationB. a manual client installationC. a software update-based client installationD. a Client Push InstallationE. an Active Directory Group Policy-based installation

Correct Answer: CDESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:The Logon script runs with the user's credentials.Manual installation also runs with the user's credentials. Software update point uses the local SYSTEM account and All client computers are configured asWSUSclients. So the firewall should not affect functionality. Client Push Installation requires File and Printer Sharing and runs with the local SYSTEM account.Group Policy Installation requires File and Printer Sharing and runs with the local SYSTEM account.Further information:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682191.aspx Determine the Client Installation Method to Use for Windows Computers in Configuration ManagerThe following table outlines the advantages and disadvantages of each client installation method to help youdetermine which will work best in your organization:Client push installationCan be used to install the client on a single computer, a collection of computers, or to the results from aquery.

Can be used to automatically install the client on all discovered computers. Automatically uses client installation properties defined on the Client tab in the ClientPush Installation


Properties dialog box.Can cause high network traffic when pushing to large collections. Can only be used on computers that have been discovered by System Center 2012ConfigurationManager.Cannot be used to install clients in a workgroup.A client push installation account must be specified that has administrative rights to the intended clientcomputer.

Windows Firewall must be configured on client computers with exceptions so that client push installationcan be completed.

You cannot cancel client push installation. When you use this client installation method for a site,Configuration Manager tries to install the client on all discoveredresources and retries any failures for upto 7 days.

Software update point-based installationCan use your existing software updates infrastructure to manage the client software. Can automatically install the client software on new computers if WindowsServer Update Services(WSUS) and Group Policy settings in Active Directory Domain Services are configured correctly.

Does not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed. Computers can read client installation properties that have been published to ActiveDirectory DomainServices.Will reinstall the client software if it is removed.Does not require you to configure and maintain an installation account for the intended client computer.Requires a functioning software updates infrastructure as a prerequisite. Must use the same server for client installation and software updates, and this server mustreside in aprimary site.

To install new clients, you must configure an Group Policy Object (GDO) in Active Directory DomainServices with the client's active software update point and port.If the Active Directory schema is not extended for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you mustuse Group Policy settings to provision computers withclient installation properties. Group Policy installationDoes not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed.

Can be used for new client installations or for upgrades. Computers can read client installation properties that have been published to Active DirectoryDomainServices.

Does not require you to configure and maintain an installation account for the intended client computer.Can cause high network traffic if a large number of clients are being installed. If the Active Directory schema is not extended for System Center 2012 ConfigurationManager, you mustuse Group Policy settings to add client installation properties to computers in your site. Logon script installationDoes not require computers to bediscovered before the client can be installed.

Supports using command-line properties for CCMSetup.Can cause high network traffic if a large number of clients are being installed over a short time period. Cantake a long time to install on all client computers if users do not frequently log on to the network.Manual installationDoes not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed.Can be useful for testing purposes.Supports using command-line properties for CCMSetup.No automation, therefore time consuming.


QUESTION 162Your network contains a System Center 2012 Configuration Manger environment. The environment contains a primary site server named Server1 and a servernamed Server2 that runsMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 R2.

Server2 contains the Configuration Manager database.

Server2 fails.

You install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a new server.

You name the server Server2.You need to restore the Configuration Manager database to the new server.

What should you do?

A. From Server1, run the Configuration Manager 2012 Setup Wizard.B. From Server2, run Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, and then attach the backed up SQL Serverdatabase and log files.C. From Server2, run Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, and then restore the backed up SQL Serverdatabase and log files.D. From Server1, run the Site Repair Wizard.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Answer: From Server1, run the Configuration Manager 2012 Setup Wizard. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712697.aspx Backup and Recovery inConfiguration ManagerRecover a Configuration Manager SiteA Configuration Manager site recovery is required whenever a Configuration Manager site fails or data lossoccurs in the site database. Repairing andresynchronizing data are the core tasks of a site recovery and arerequired to prevent interruption of operations. Site recovery is started by running the ConfigurationManagerSetup Wizard from installation media or by configuring the unattended installation script and then using theSetup command /script option. Your recoveryoptions vary depending on whether you have a backup of theConfiguration Manager site database....Site Database Recovery OptionsWhen you run Setup, you have the following recovery options for the site database:* Recover the site database using a backup set: Use this option when you have a backup of the ConfigurationManager site database that was created as part of the Backup Site Server maintenance task run on the sitebefore the site database failure. When you have ahierarchy, the changes that were made to the site databaseafter the last site database backup are retrieved from the central administration site for a primary site, orfrom areference primary site for a central administration site. When you recover the site database for a stand-aloneprimary site, you lose site changes after the lastbackup.


When you recover the site database for a site in a hierarchy, the recovery behavior is different for a centraladministration site and primary site, and when the lastbackup is inside or outside of the SQL Server changetracking retention period....Further information:SCCM 2007 needed you to run Site Repair Wizard.

Role-Based Administration in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager In Configuration Manager 2012, Security Roles are used to collectively group objects andpermissions(operations) for assignment to an Administrator. Instead of an individual permission set on a single instance ofobject, the Security Role provides asingle Role assignment to an administrator; reducing the overallcomplexity with permission management. An object in the Security Role is something that you wanttomanage access to and permission is the operational functions, such as Read, Modify and Delete.


You plan to deploy System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.

The hierarchy will have a Central Administration Site and five Primary Sites. You need to ensure that you can target user groups for software distribution.

The solution must minimize network traffic.Which Configuration Manager discovery method should you use?

A. Active Directory User Discovery and Active Directory Group Discovery on the primary sitesB. Active Directory User Discovery and Active Directory Group Discovery on the Central AdministrationsiteC. Active Directory User Discovery on the Central Administration site and Active Directory Group

Discovery on the primary sitesD. Active Directory User Discovery on the primary sites and Active Directory Group Discovery on everysite


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712681.aspx#BKMK_ChooseCAS Determine Whether to Install a Central Administration Site Install a centraladministration site if you plan to install multiple primary sites. Use a central administration siteto configure hierarchy-wide settings and to monitor all sites andobjects in the hierarchy. This site type does notmanage clients directly but it does coordinate inter-site data replication, which includes the configuration ofsites andclients throughout the hierarchy.

Use the following information to help you plan for a central administration site:..You can manage all clients in the hierarchy and perform site management tasks for any primary site whenyou use a Configuration Manager console that isconnected to the central administration site...You can configure discovery operations throughout the hierarchy from the central administration site byassigning discovery methods to run at individual sites.


http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712308.aspx Planning for Discovery in Configuration ManagerSystem Center 2012 Configuration Manager discovery identifies computer and user resources that you canmanage by using Configuration Manager. It can alsodiscover the network infrastructure in your environment.Discovery Methods in Configuration ManagerBefore you enable discovery methods for Configuration Manager, ensure you understand what each methodcan discover. Because discovery can generate a largevolume of network traffic, and the resultant DDRs canresult in a significant use of CPU resources during processing, plan to use only those discovery methodsthatyou require to meet your goals. You could use only one or two discovery methods to be successful, and youcan always enable additional methods in a controlledmanner to extend the level of discovery in yourenvironment...Active Directory User DiscoveryDiscovers user accounts from the specified locations in Active Directory Domain Services. Active Directory Group DiscoveryDiscovers local, global, and universalsecurity groups, the membership within these groups, and themembership within distribution groups from the specified locations in Active directory DomainServices. Distribution groups are not discovered as group resources...About Discovery Data RecordsDiscovery data records (DDRs) are files created by a discovery method that contain information about aresource you can manage in Configuration Manager. DDRscontain information about computers, users and insome cases, network infrastructure. They are processed at primary sites or at central administration sites.Afterthe resource information in the DDR is entered into the database, the DDR is deleted and the informationreplicates as global data to all sites in the hierarchy.

The site at which a DDR is processed depends on the information it contains:DDRs for newly discovered resources that are not in the database are processed at the top-level site of thehierarchy. The top-level site creates a new resourcerecord in the database and assigns it a uniqueidentifier. DDRs transfer by file-based replication until they reach the top-level site. DDRs for previously discoveredobjects are processed at primary sites. Child primary sites do not transferDDRs to the central administration site when the DDR contains information about aresource that is alreadyin the database.Secondary site do not process discovery data records and always transfer them by file-based replication totheir parent primary site.DDR files are identified by the .ddr extension, and have a typical size of about 1 KB...Decide Which Discovery Methods to UseDiscover UsersWhen you want to discover information about users, you can use Active Directory User Discovery. Similar toActive Directory System Discovery, this method discovers users from Active Directory and includes basicinformation in addition to extended Active Directoryinformation. You can use this information to build complexqueries and collections similar to those for computers.Discover Group InformationWhen you want to discover information about groups and group memberships, use Active Directory GroupDiscovery. This discovery method creates resourcerecords for security groups. You can use this method to search a specific Active Directory group to identify the members of that group inaddition to any nestedgroups within that group. You can also use this method to search an Active Directorylocation for groups, and recursively search each child container of that locationin Active Directory DomainServices.

This discovery method can also search the membership of distribution groups. This can identify the grouprelationships of both users and computers.

When you discover a group, you can also discover limited information about its members. This does notreplace Active Directory System or User Discovery and is


usually insufficient to build complex queries andcollections or serve as the bases of a client push installation.

Decide Where to Run DiscoveryWhen you plan to use discovery in Configuration Manager, you must consider where to run each discoverymethod.

After Configuration Manager adds discovery data to a database, it is quickly shared between all sites in thehierarchy. Because there is no benefit to discovering thesame information at multiple sites in your hierarchy,consider configuring a single instance of each discovery method that you use to run at a single site insteadofrunning multiple instances of a single method at different sites.

Further information:Best Practices for DiscoveryRun Active Directory System Discovery and Active Directory User Discovery before you run Active Directory

Group DiscoveryWhen Active Directory Group Discovery identifies a previously undiscovered user or computer as a member ofa group, it attempts to discover basic details for theuser or computer. Because Active Directory GroupDiscovery is not optimized for this type of discovery, this process can cause Active Directory Group Discoveryto run slow. Additionally, Active Directory GroupDiscovery identifies only the basic details about users andcomputers is discovers, and does not create a complete user or computer discovery record. When yourunActive Directory System Discovery and Active Directory User Discovery, the additional Active Directoryattributes for each object type are available, and as aresult, Active Directory Group Discovery runs moreefficiently.

When you configure Active Directory Group Discovery, only specify groups that you use with ConfigurationManager

To help control the use of resources by Active Directory Group Discovery, specify only those groups that youuse with Configuration Manager. This is because ActiveDirectory Group Discovery recursively searches eachgroup it discovers for users, computers, and nested groups. The search of each nested group can expandthescope of Active Directory Group Discovery and reduce performance. Additionally, when you configure deltadiscovery for Active Directory Group Discovery, thediscovery method monitors each group for changes. Thisfurther reduces performance when the method must search unnecessary groups.

Run Active Directory Discovery methods at primary site that has a network location that is closest to yourActive Directory domain controller.

To improve the performance of Active Directory discovery, it is recommended to run discover at a primary sitethat has a fast network connection to your domain


controllers. If you run the same Active Directory discoverymethod at multiple sites, it is recommended to configure each discovery method to avoid overlap. Unlikepastversions of Configuration Manager, discovery data is shared between sites. Therefore, it is not necessary todiscovery the same information at multiple sites.

QUESTION 165Your network contains a System Center 2012 Configuration Manger environment. You deploy the Configuration Manager client to all client computers.

You enable Hardware Inventory and Software Inventory for all of the client computers. You discover that one of the client computers fails to report inventory data.You confirm that the inventory files are copied correctly to the site server.

You discover, however, that the site server does not contain any data from the client computer. You need to identify what is causing the reporting issue.

Troubleshooting Configuration Manager PerformanceSlow Hardware Inventory Processing - SolutionIf you suspect that hardware inventory report processing is slow for a Configuration Manager 2007 site, thefollowing actions should be taken:Inspect the client inventoryagent.log log file to determine whether the client is sending delta hardwareinventory reports or full reports. After initial client deployment,a very high percentage of hardware inventoryreports should be deltas, which contain much less data than full inventory reports. If you are seeing asignificantnumber of full inventory reports, this could be caused by inconsistent inventory report processingby the site server. For example, a delta hardware inventory reportcould be processed before a full inventoryreport for the same system has been processed. In this situation, a hardware inventory resynchronizationrequest will besent to the client and an additional full inventory report will be generated. To determinewhether this is happening, review the dataldr.log log file on the site server.

Inspect the size of the hardware inventory files in the site server's inbox directory to determine whether thesoftware inventory files have grown significantly fromprevious inventory reports. If hardware inventory reportfile sizes have grown beyond an initial hardware inventory report file size baseline, you should determinethecause and whether the larger inventory report files are expected to be larger. One possibility is that the site'sSMS_def.mof file has been modified to collect moreinventory information from clients.Determine whether there is a consistent SMS_def.mof hardware inventory reporting file in use throughoutthe hierarchy. If not, thehardware inventory processor might be running very slowly because of changes inthe database schema caused by the different SMS_def.mof files throughout thehierarchy. Thedataloader.log log file will record instances of database schema changes and should be reviewed wheninvestigating this issue.

This article was originally written for SMS, but the same principles should apply to SCCM 2012:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc723597.aspx

Chapter 20 - Hardware and Software Inventory Flowcharts If a backlog of MIF files accumulates at the site server (that is, if MIF files are not being processed):Examine the Inventory Data Loader status messages or the Dataldr.log file to determine whether theInventory Data Loader has been able to connect to the SMSsite database server. Inventory Data Loadermight be unable to write a discovered client's MIF to the database.

If the MIF files are not being processed on the site server:Verify that Inventory Data Loader successfully parsed the MIF file by checking Inventory Data Loader statusmessages or the Dataldr.log file. If the MIF file cannotbe processed, it will be transferred to the \Badmifsdirectory.

If inventory from clients is not being reported to a new parent site:Examine the Dataldr.log file to verify that Inventory Data Loader has read the *.sha file, stopped all new MIFfile processing, and is creating MIF files for each client'sdata in the site database to forward to the parentsite.


Software Inventory and Hardware Inventory are enabled for all of the client computers.

All of the client computers have an Application named App1 installed.App1 saves files to the C:\Program Files\App1 folder.


All of the files saved by App1 have a file name extension of .xyz. You configure Software Inventory to inventory all of the files that have the .xyz extension and the.exeextension.

After six months, you discover that some of the client computers fad to inventory .xyz files.All of the client computers inventory .exe files.

You need to ensure that the .xyz files are inventoried.What should you do?

A. Modify C:\NO_SMS_On_Drive.sms.B. Delete C:\NO_SMS_On_Drive.sms.C. Modify C:\Program Files\App1\Skpswi.dat.D. Delete C:\Program Files\App1\Skpswi.dat.

Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712282.aspx#BKMK_Site_System_Roles Planning for Site Systems in Configuration ManagerOptional Site System RolesOptional site system roles are site system roles that are not required for the core operation of a ConfigurationManager site. However, by default, the managementpoint and distribution point, which are optional site systemroles, are installed on the site server when you install a primary or secondary site. Although these twositesystem roles are not required for the core operation of the site, you must have at least one management pointto support clients at those locations. After youinstall a site, you can move the default location of themanagement point or distribution point to another server, install additional instances of each site systemrole,and install other optional site system roles to meet your business requirements.The optional site system roles are described in the following table:A site system role that provides policy and service location information to clients and receivesconfiguration data from clients.You must install at least one management point at each primary site that manages clients, and at eachsecondary site where you want to provide a local point ofcontact for clients to obtain computer and userpolices...http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682060.aspx How to Assign Clients to a Site in Configuration Manager Locating Management PointsAfter a client is successfully assigned to a site, it locates a management point in the site. Client computers download a list of management points in the site thatthey can connect to. This processhappens whenever the client restarts, every 25 hours, and if the client detects a network change, such as thecomputerdisconnects and reconnects on the network or it receives a new IP address. The list includesmanagement points on the intranet and whether they accept clientconnections over HTTP or HTTPS. Whenthe client computer is on the Internet and the client doesn't yet have a list of management points, it connects tothespecified Internet-based management point to obtain a list of management points. When the client has alist of management points for its assigned site, it thenselects one to connect to:

When the client is on the intranet and it has a valid PKI certificate that it can use, the client chooses HTTPSmanagement points before HTTP management points. Itthen locates the closest management point, basedon its forest membership.

When the client is on the Internet, it non-deterministically chooses one of the Internet-based managementpoints.


Personal comment:From my point of view, the correct answer would have been:Configure the existing management point to use HTTPS or HTTP.

Configure the Research Department client computers to use PKI certificates; considering the fact thatthe client chooses HTTPS management points before HTTPmanagement points, that would haveensured the requirements.However, if there is a dedicated Management Point for the Research Department, that guarantees therequirements and makes the above answer the only correctone.

System Center 2012 Configuration Manager: R.I.P. Native Mode efore System Center Configuration Manager 2012, Configuration Manager 2007 had conceptscalled nativemode and mixed mode: The philosophy behind native mode was to secure the site server and all its sitesystems, in addition to securing all site-to-sitecommunication. This involved configuring a site signingcertificate on all installed sites, plus there was an added restriction that a native mode site must alwaysreportto a native mode site. During the planning phase for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, we listened to customer feedbackand revisited this nativeand mixed mode model, and debated our previous concept of securing the site. Theresult was client computer communication.

Key concepts for client computer communication:Client computer communication is about securing end points. The two end points in this case are the clientand the site system roles that the client talks to. A clientcan communicate by using either the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. HTTPS requires the client and sitesystem roles to be configured with valid PKI certificates formutual authentication.

Operations Manager supports notifications through e-mail, instant messaging, Short Message Service, orpager messages.Notifications on what the role needs to know go out to recipients that you specify in Operations Manager.An Operations Manager recipient is merely an object that has a valid address to receive the notification, suchas an SMTP address for e-mail notifications.Therefore, it is logical to combine role assignment with notification group membership via an email- enabledsecurity group.For example, create an Exchange Administrators security group and populate it with individuals that have theknowledge and permissions to fix things in Exchange.Assign this security group to a custom created Exchange Administrator role so they have access to the dataand are e-mail-enabled.Then, create a recipient by using the SMTP address of the email- enabled security group.http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh487288.aspxReferences a channel here:http://thoughtsonopsmgr.blogspot.com/2012/05/scomom12-notification-errorsfailed-to.html

QUESTION 202Your company deploys System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager. A network administrator deploys the Operations Manager agent to all of the internal serversthat run Windows Server, and then configures notifications to be sent by email to several departmental groups.

Two days later, a network administrator opens the Operations Manager console and discovers hundreds of alerts.

The administrator closes all of the alerts in the console.

You need to change the resolution state of the alerts that were closed.


A. From the Reporting workspace, select Microsoft Generic Report Library, and then select Alerts.B. From the Authoring workspace, select Rules, and then set the scope to View all targets.C. From the My Workspace workspace, create a new alert view.D. From the Administration workspace, create a notification subscription.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:To set the resolution state for an alertIn the Operations console, click Monitoring.Click any view that displays alerts, such as Active Alerts. (Alert View will show you the alerts you want tochange)Right-click an alert, point to Set Resolution State, and then click the desired resolution state. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212928.aspx

QUESTION 203Your company has a private cloud that contains a System Center 2012 R2 infrastructure. You run applications virtually by using Hyper-V hosts. Each application has


a dedicated virtual machine on a Hyper-V host.

The Microsoft Monitoring Agent is deployed to all physical servers. Currently, all of the physical servers are monitored for memory, CPU, and disk space use.

You need to monitor the memory, CPU, and disk space use of each application server.What should you do?

A. Deploy the Microsoft Monitoring Agent to each virtual machine.B. Configure a new notification subscription for each Hyper-V host.C. Deploy the Configuration Manager client to each virtual machine.D. Configure a new channel for each virtual machine.


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Bad question IMO. The thing to know here is that the SCOM Agent is now called the Microsoft MonitoringAgent. In order to monitor VMs, you need to install theSCOM agent (MMA) to the guest, not the host.None of the other answers make sense anyways.Please see http://www.server-log.com/blog/2013/12/2/installing-scom-agent-microsoft- monitoring-agent-fromsystem.html

QUESTION 204Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a domain controller named DC1 and member servers named Server1and Server2. Server1 has System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager installed. Server2 has System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator installed. Orchestrator has theSystem Center Integration Pack for System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager installed.

In Operations Manager, you have a monitor named Monitor1 that triggers an alert named Alert1. You need to ensure that when Alert1 is triggered, a customrunbook starts.

Which two actions should you perform from Orchestrator? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

A. Configure a filter of PrincipalName equals Alert1.B. Configure a filter of MonitorObjectName equals Monitor1.C. Add the Get Alert activity.D. Add the Monitor Alert activity and configure triggers for the alert.E. Configure a filter of Name equals Alert1.

Correct Answer: BD

The network contains several routers and switches.

You open the Network Devices view and discover that a switch is in a critical state.

You need to identify the availability of the switch during the past seven days. The solution must also ensure that you can review which servers are connected to theswitch.


A. The Network Node DashboardB. A diagram viewC. The Network Vicinity DashboardD. A state view


Explanation/Reference:Explanation:http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/networking/using-the-network-dashboard-views-in-scom- 2012/5226Network Node Dashboard ViewA node is any device connected to a network.Switches and routers are among the most common kinds of nodes you will discover. The node dashboard provides details on the health of a particular device. Theupper portion of the node dashboard consists of the network vicinity view for that node, as well as"speedometer" gauges for node availability today, yesterday, in thelast week, and in the last month.

(Periods of time that were not monitored are counted as "available" in the availability statistics, so newlydiscovered devices will not appear to have had outages inthe gauges.) The lower portion of the nodedashboard includes a list of all interfaces on the node that are being monitored.

From this view, you can manually override the automatic selections of which interfaces are monitored bySCOM.Also, by right-clicking on specific interfaces, you can pivot to performance or reporting views that drill down intothe near term or long term history of an interface. In


Figure B, the Interface Packet Analysis report for "PORT 4 on "switch1 during the previous week appears ina second window.
