Microsoft Administering a SQL Database Infrastructure Set 6

You have a database hosted on SQL Server 2012 R2.
The database contains 5 million rows.
You need to recommend a repeatable method to migrate the database to SQL Azure.
Which method should you recommend? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

You have a server named Server1 that has 2 processors. You plan to deploy multiple instances of SQL Server 2014 to Server1. Each instance will have multiple databases.
You need to recommend a method to allocate processor time to each database.
What should you include in the recommendation? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

You have a SQL Server 2014 environment That includes four servers.
The servers are configured as shown in the following table.

You plan to configure Policy-Based Management to enforce the following rules:
On Server1, enable SQL Server password policies and enable the default trace.
On Server3, ensure that the names of user-defined stored procedures begin with the prefix "usp_" and ensure that all databases use a casesensitive collation.
You need to recommend which server you must configure as a Central Management Server.
Which server should you recommend? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)

You are the administrator for a SQL Server 2014 instance that stores the data for an online transaction processing sales system.
The company takes full backups every week; differential backups on the days with no full backups; and hourly transaction backups.
These backups are stored on a backup server in the company's data center. Every week, the company places the full backup on a tape and sends it to a third-party
backup storage system. The company is worried that a disaster might occur that could destroy their computer center and cause them to lose orders.

You need to determine the best method for providing the smallest amount of data loss and downtime without leasing or purchasing additional physical locations.
What should you do? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.

Background
Corporate Information
Fabrikam, Inc. is a retailer that sells electronics products on the Internet. The company has a headquarters site and one satellite sales office. You have been hired
as the database administrator, and the company wants you to change the architecture of the Fabrikam ecommerce site to optimize performance and reduce
downtime while keeping capital expenditures to a minimum. To help with the solution, Fabrikam has decided to use cloud resources as well as on-premise servers.
Physical Locations
All of the corporate executives, product managers, and support staff are stationed at the headquarters office. Half of the sales force works at this location. There is
also a satellite sales office. The other half of the sales force works at the satellite office in order to have sales people closer to clients in that area. Only sales
people work at the satellite location.
Problem Statement
To be successful, Fabrikam needs a website that is fast and has a high degree of system uptime. The current system operates on a single server and the company
is not happy with the single point of failure this presents. The current nightly backups have been failing due to insufficient space on the available drives and manual
drive cleanup often needing to happen to get past the errors. Additional space will not be made available for backups on the HQ or satellite servers. During your
investigation, you discover that the sales force reports are causing significant contention.
Configuration
Windows Logins
The network administrators have set up Windows groups to make it easier to manage security. Users may belong to more than one group depending on their role.
The groups have been set up as shown in the following table:

Server Configuration The IT department has configured two physical servers with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition and
one Windows Azure Server. There are two tiers of storage available for use by database files only a fast tier and a slower tier. Currently the data and log files are
stored on the fast tier of storage only. If a possible use case exists, management would like to utilize the slower tier storage for data files. The servers are
configured as shown in the following table:
Database
Currently all information is stored in a single database called ProdDB, created with the following script:
The Product table is in the Production schema owned by the ProductionStaff Windows group. It is the main table in the system so access to information in the
Product table should be as fast as possible. The columns in the Product table are defined as shown in the following table:

The SalesOrderDetail table holds the details about each sale. It is in the Sales schema owned by the SalesStaff Windows group. This table is constantly being
updated, inserted into, and read. The columns in the SalesOrderDetail table are defined as shown in the following table:
Database Issues
The current database does not perform well. Additionally, a recent disk problem caused the system to go down, resulting in lost sales revenue. In reviewing the
current system, you found that there are no automated maintenance procedures. The database is severely fragmented, and everyone has read and write access.
Requirements
Database
The database should be configured to maximize uptime and to ensure that very little data is lost in the event of a server failure. To help with performance, the
database needs to be modified so that it can support in-memory data, specifically for the Product table, which the CIO has indicated should be a memoryoptimized
table. The auto-update statistics option is set off on this database. Only product managers are allowed to add products or to make changes to the name,
description, price, cost, and supplier. The changes are made in an internal database and pushed to the Product table in ProdDB during system maintenance time.
Product managers and others working at the headquarters location also should be able to generate reports that include supplier and cost information.
Customer data access
Customers access the company's website to order products, so they must be able to read product information such asname, description, and price from the
Product table. When customers place orders, stored procedures calledby the website update product quantityon-hand values. This means the product table is
constantly updated at randomtimes.

Customer support data access
Customer support representatives need to be able to view and not update or change product information. Management does not want the customer support
representatives to be able to see the product cost or any supplier information.
Sales force data access
Sales people at both the headquarters office and the satellite office must generate reports that read from the Product and SalesOrderDetail tables. No updates or
inserts are ever made by sales people. These reports are run at random times and there can be no reporting downtime to refresh the data set except during the
monthly maintenance window. The reports that run from the satellite office are process intensive queries with large data sets. Regardless of which office runs a
sales force report, the SalesOrderDetail table should only return valid, committed order data; any orders not yet committed should be ignored.
Historical Data
The system should keep historical information about customers who access the site so that sales people can see how frequently customers log in and how long
they stay on the site.
The information should be stored in a table called Customer Access. Supporting this requirement should have minimal impact on production website performance.
Backups
The recovery strategy for Fabrikam needs to include the ability to do point in time restores and minimize the risk of data loss by performing transaction log backups
every 15 minutes.
Database Maintenance
The company has defined a maintenance window every month when the server can be unavailable. Any maintenance functions that require exclusive access
should be accomplished during that window.
Project milestones completed
Revoked all existing read and write access to the database, leaving the schema ownership in place.
Configured an Azure storage container secured with the storage account name MyStorageAccount with the primary access key StorageAccountKey on the cloud
file server.
SQL Server 2014 has been configured on the satellite server and is ready for use.
On each database server, the fast storage has been assigned to drive letter F:, and the slow storage has been assigned to drive letter D:.
You are designing your maintenance plan.
Which command should you use only during the monthly maintenance window?

You need to write code that will allow the sales force to retrieve data for their reports with the least amount of effort. Which code should you use?
 

You manage database servers in a high security environment. Your company has the following auditing requirements:
SQL Server auditing must be enabled on all server instances.
Auditing results must be logged in the Windows Security even log.
A routine review shows that a SQL Server is writing auditing entries to Windows Application event log. You change the SQL Server audit target to Windows Security
event long. SQL Server auditing stops working on the server.
You need to ensure that the server meets the auditing requirements.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
