Answers

This section contains the solutions to the thought experiments and answers to the objective review questions in this chapter.

Objective 4.1: Thought experiment

1. You must install the Operations Manager console on the VMM server.
2. To link VMM and Operations Manager, you need the credentials of an account that is a member of the Operations Manager Administrators user role, and the credentials of an account that is a member of the VMM Administrator user role.

Objective 4.1: Review

1. Correct answer: B

   1. Incorrect: This activity allows you to extract data from an Operations Manager alert.
   2. Correct: This activity allows you to extract data from an Operations Manager alert.
   3. Incorrect: Orchestrator integration packs are collections of tasks that allow you to automate activities with different System Center products.
   4. Incorrect: Orchestrator integration packs are collections of tasks that allow you to automate activities with different System Center products.

2. Correct answer: B

   1. Incorrect: Use this activity to create a VMM service using a VMM service template.
   2. Correct: You use this activity to create a new VM from an existing VM that is on a VMM managed virtualization host.
   3. Incorrect: Use this activity to create a VM from an existing virtual hard disk in the VMM library.
   4. Incorrect: This cmdlet allows you to create a VM from an existing VMM template.

3. Correct answer: B

   1. Incorrect: You use this activity to recover a protected virtual machine.
   2. Correct: You use this activity to create a recovery point for a specific data source.
   3. Incorrect: You use this activity to determine which recovery points exist for a specific protected data source.
   4. Incorrect: You use this activity to put a data source into protection. Use the Get Data Source activity to determine the identity of eligible data sources.

4. Correct answer: C

   1. Incorrect: You use this activity to deploy an application to a collection. In Configuration Manager, you use a Program rather than an Application to deploy scripts.
   2. Incorrect: This activity allows you to deploy an existing configuration baseline to an existing collection.
   3. Correct: You use this activity to deploy an existing program, including a script that you want to run, to a collection.
   4. Incorrect: This activity assigns an existing task sequence to a collection. While task sequences can run scripts, the “more correct” answer is to use a Program to deploy the script. Task sequences are most commonly used in Operating System Deployment (OSD) type activities.

Objective 4.2: Thought experiment

3. Correct Answers: A and D

   1. Correct: A management stamp represents a unit of virtualized platform infrastructure that includes a VMM deployment, one or more virtualization hosts, the VMs that are managed by VMM, and the unique service accounts and user roles that are individual to that stamp.
