Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two
member servers named Server1 and Server2. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 and Server2 have the Failover Clustering feature installed. The servers are configured as
nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 contains a Clustered Shared Volume (CSV).
A developer creates an application named App1. App1 is NOT a cluster-aware application. App1
stores data in the file system.
You need to ensure that App1 runs in Cluster1. The solution must minimize development effort.
Which cmdlet should you run?
A.
Add-ClusterServerRole
B.
Add-ClusterGenericServiceRole
C.
Add ClusterScaleOutFileServerRole
D.
Add ClusterGenericApplicationRole
Explanation:
Add-ClusterGenericApplicationRole
Configure high availability for an application that was not originally designed to run in a failover
cluster.
If you run an application as a Generic Application, the cluster software will start the application, then
periodically query the operating system to see whether the application appears to be running. If so,
it is presumed to be online, and will not be restarted or failed over.
EXAMPLE 1.
Command Prompt: C:\PS>
Add-ClusterGenericApplicationRole -CommandLine NewApplication.exe
Name OwnerNode State
—- ——— —–
cluster1GenApp node2 Online
Description
———–
This command configures NewApplication.exe as a generic clustered application. A default name will
be used for client access and this application requires no storage.Add-ClusterGenericApplicationRole

Be aware, there is also a question with “App1 runs as a service” there was some debate about correct answer: ClusterGenericApplicationRole or ClusterGenericServiceRole

I also came across these 2 different questions, I believe that if it says App1 runs as a service you install a customer generic service role rather than application

SOFS is a file server cluster for Hyper-V or SQL Data
The question says “App1 is NOT a cluster-aware application” so the right option is
Add-ClusterGenericApplicationRole
Configure high availability for an application that was not originally designed to run in a failover cluster.
