You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server that hosts a transactional database and a
reporting database. The transactional database is updated through a web application and is
operational throughout the day. The reporting database is only updated from the transactional
database.
The recovery model and backup schedule are configured as shown in the following table:

The differential backup of the reporting database fails. Then, the reporting database fails at 14:00
hours.
You need to ensure that the reporting database is restored. You also need to ensure that data loss is
minimal.

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database.
You create an availability group named haContosoDbs. Your primary replica is available at
Server01\Contoso01.
You need to configure the availability group to have the highest availability.
You also need to ensure that no data is lost.
Which Transact-SQL statement should you use?

DRAG DROP
You administer three Microsoft SQL Server 2012 servers named ServerA, ServerB, and ServerC.
ServerA is the acting principal and ServerB is the mirror.
You need to add ServerC as a witness to the existing mirroring session between ServerA and ServerB.
You need to achieve this goal without delaying synchronization.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions
from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)

You administer several Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database servers. Merge replication has been
configured for an application that is distributed across offices throughout a wide area network
(WAN).
Many of the tables involved in replication use the XML and varchar (max) data types. Occasionally,
merge replication fails due to timeout errors.
You need to reduce the occurrence of these timeout errors.
What should you do?

DRAG DROP
You administer several Microsoft SQL Server 2012 servers. Your company has a number of offices
across the world connected by using a wide area network (WAN).
Connections between offices vary significantly in both bandwidth and reliability.
You need to identify the correct replication method for each scenario.
What should you do? (To answer, drag the appropriate replication method or methods to the
correct location or locations in the answer area. Each replication method may be used once, more
than once, or not at all.)

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 instance that has several SQL Server Agent jobs
configured.
When SQL Server Agent jobs fail, the error messages returned by the job steps are truncated.
The following error message is an example of the truncated error message:

You create an availability group named HaContoso that has replicas named Server01/HA,
Server02/HA, and Server03/HA,
Currently, Server01l/HA is the primary replicA
You need to ensure that the following requirements are met:

• Backup operations occur on Server02/HA
• If Server02/HA is unavailable, backup operations occur on Server03/HA
• Backup operations do not occur on Server01/HA
How should you configure HaContoso?
