You are employed as a network administrator at ABC.com.
ABC.com has an active directory domain named ABC.com.
ALL servers on the ABC.com network have Windows Server 2012 R2.
ABC.com has a server,named server 1, which runs the windows deployment services server role.
You make use of windows server backup to back up server 1.
Subsequent to a disk array on server 1 becoming corrupt,you swap the disk array with new hardware.
You now need to recover server1 in the shortest time conceivable.
Which of the following actions should you take?
A.
you should consider making use of the Windows Server 2012 R2 installation media to start server1
B.
you should consider restoring server1 from a snapshot backup
C.
you should consider restoring server 1 from an incremental backup
D.
you should consider restoring server 1 from a differential backup
Why would this be the answer? I am reading it as they are using the installation media to bring server1 back online without having to restore from backup. If so what are they doing that they can bring it back up?
Or am I reading it wrong in that one needs to boot from installation media to restore the server1?

So, this is one of the Q&A combos falling under MS’s “we totally don’t do trick questions, no my fingers aren’t crossed they just lay that way naturally” policy… Pretty much, if it asks what you have to do first then the answer is A to boot using installation media so you can get to the System Recovery Options (there is the option to have a recovery partition created, so that you don’t need the disk though…but that requires work and disk space most people just don’t want to use)
However this particular question is asking what you should do and the way it is worded there is even a possibility it expects more than one answer, so you could put A&B because you essentially have to do A in order to do B. But, if they are only looking for one option and they don’t specifically ask what to do first the safest bet is to select B.

This is tricky question, hence correct answer is B. The fastest way to bring server 1 online within new hardware is to restore from Snapshot. As you can read the server is backed up via WSB, so using snapshot on time that corrupt was not present, should restore the server to healthy state.
