You have a server named Server1.Server1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 has a thin provisioned disk named Disk1.
You need to expand Disk1.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Choose two.)
A.
From File and Storage Services, extend Disk1.
B.
From File and Storage Services, add a physical disk to the storage pool.
C.
From Disk Management, extend the volume.
D.
From Disk Management, delete the volume, create a new volume, and then format the
volume.
E.
From File and Storage Services, detach Disk1.
Explanation:
Step 1 (B): if required add physical disk capacity.
Step 2 (A): Dynamically extend the virtual disk (not volume).
The File and Storage Services role and the Storage Services role service are installed by
default, but without any additional role services. This basic functionality enables you to use
Server Manager or Windows PowerShell to manage the storage functionality of your servers.
On Windows 2012 no Disk Management available , can only use File & Storage services

Yes completely wrong, it doesn’t show in the tools menu of Server Manager but you can run from a command line with diskmgmt.msc.
The answer is A and B because it mentions “thin provisioned” that’s the clue that we’re dealing with a storage space
