Microsoft-Configuring and Deploying a Private Cloud with System Center 2012 Set 3

A company uses System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager and System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). You need to provide a detailed overview of the fabric that services the company's private clouds. What should you do?

A company has an environment that runs System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager and System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). The company also has web applications that are used by employees. You must plan a management strategy for the company. You need to ensure that you can monitor the web applications from outside the company network. Which tool should you use as part of the monitoring strategy?

You have three Windows Server 2012 R2 servers that are set up as a Hyper-V cluster. You use System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager to manage the Hyper-V environment. Users report that when a Hyper-V host server becomes overloaded, the performance of the virtual machines is unacceptable. You need to analyze workloads and automatically migrate virtual machines from overloaded host servers to host clusters that have available capacity. What should you configure?

You have a System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) infrastructure that contains a server named VMM1. A user named TestUser5 attempts to add a Hyper-V host named Host1 to the fabric. TestUser5 enters the IP address of Host1 and receives the following error message: "Access has been denied while contacting the server Host1." You verify that TestUser5 is assigned the Delegated Administrator User Role. You need to ensure that TestUser5 can add Host1 to the fabric. What should you do?

You deploy System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager and import several management packs. You need to modify the number of days that event data is stored in the database. Which table should you modify in the Reporting data warehouse database?

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two member servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 has System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) installed. Server2 has the IP Address Management (IPAM) feature installed. You need to ensure that address spaces created in VMM are visible in IPAM. What should you do?

Your company uses System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager. A technician manually installs the Microsoft Monitoring Agent on a server named Server1. You discover that the agent is configured to use the wrong primary management server. You need to change the primary management server used by Server1. What should you do on Server1?

You need to recommend a solution to meet the requirements for App2. What should you include in the recommendation? Case Study Title (Case Study): Case Study 1 - Contoso Ltd Overview Contoso, Ltd. is a manufacturing company. Contoso has a main office and six branch offices. The main office is located in Toronto. The branch offices are located in New York, Seattle, Miami, Montreal, Los Angeles, and Vancouver. Existing Environment Active Directory Environment The network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains a child domain for each office. Active Directory currently contains 7,500 user accounts and 15,000 computer accounts. Network Infrastructure All servers are located in a data center in Toronto. The data center contains multiple subnets that are separated by firewalls. The Toronto data center contains a cluster that runs Microsoft SQL server 2008 Enterprise Service Pack 1 (SP1). Four servers are unused and are being considered as potential Hyper-V hosts. The servers are configured as shown in the following table. All of the servers being considered as potential Hyper-V hosts have both locally attached storage and access to a SAN. Help Desk Environment Contoso uses a help desk ticketing system that was developed in-house. Fifty help desk agents have access to the ticketing system. Ticketing system currently tracks: - An average of two new incidents per month, per client computer. - An average of 2,000 change requests per month. Disaster Recovery Environment Contoso uses a third party backup solution. Backups are scheduled for the servers in the Seattle office as follows: - The daily incremental backups total 10GB. - The total size of data to backup is 100GB. - Backed up data is retained for 10 business days. Problem Statements The original developers of the help desk ticketing system are no longer employed by Contoso and maintenance of the system is becoming an issue. Requirements Planned Changes Contoso plans to move the IT infrastructure to a private cloud. Whenever possible, hardware and software costs must be minimized. Contoso plans to open a small office in Beijing. System Center 2012 App Controller will be used to manage applications. The display names of the applications will be in Simplified Chinese Pinyin IME. New physical servers will be deployed by using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager from a server named Server5. Server5 will also be a PXE service point. The current backup solution will be replaced with System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager (DPM). A public key infrastructure (PKI) will be deployed to issue and manage certificates. The PKI deployment must be made as secure as possible. Hardware load balancers will be deployed for use in the deployment of private cloud services. Cloud Requirements Contoso plans to implement a cloud solution that meets the following requirements: - Stores all virtual machines on the SAN only. - Uses SAN copy to provision the virtual machines. - Provides the ability to manage the resolution of incidents. - Contains managed virtual machines across both private and public clouds. - Provides the ability to customize the settings of management packs provided by Microsoft. - Collects security events from all of the servers running in the private cloud and provides centralized reporting on the events. App1 Requirements A new application named App1 will be deployed to the private cloud. App1 is a three-tier application that contains the following components: - A front-end tier that runs a web server. The tier must be highly available and capable of being quickly scaled out if required. - A middle tier that runs an application server. - A back-end tier that runs a database. App2 Requirements An application named App2 will be deployed to the public cloud. Users will be authenticated by using the on-premises Active Directory. The users must be able to access App2 without being prompted for authentication again.

You need to identify which components must be created to meet the App1 deployment requirements. Which components should you identify?
