HOTSPOT
Background
You manage the Microsoft SQL Server environment for a company that manufactures and sells automobile
parts.
The environment includes the following servers: SRV1 and SRV2. SRV1 has 16 logical cores and hosts a SQL
Server instance that supports a mission-critical application. The application has approximately 30,000
concurrent users and relies heavily on the use of temporary tables.
The environment also includes the following databases: DB1, DB2, and Reporting. The Reporting database is
protected with Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). You plan to migrate this database to a new server. You
detach the database and copy it to the new server.
You are performing tuning on a SQL Server database instance. The application which uses the database was
written using an object relationship mapping (ORM) tool which maps tables as objects within the application
code. There are 30 stored procedures that are regularly used by the application.
After reviewing the plan cache you have identified that a large number of simple queries are using parallelism,
and that execution plans are not being kept in the plan cache for very long.
You review the properties of the instance (Click the Exhibit button).

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in
the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets stated goals.
You have a mission-critical application that stores data in a Microsoft SQL Server instance. The application
runs several financial reports. The reports use a SQL Server-authenticated login named Reporting_User. All
queries that write data to the database use Windows authentication.
Users report that the queries used to provide data for the financial reports take a long time to complete. The
queries consume the majority of CPU and memory resources on the database server. As a result, read-write
queries for the application also take a long time to complete.
You need to improve performance of the application while still allowing the report queries to finish.
Solution: You configure the Resource Governor to set the MAXDOP parameter to 0 for all queries against the
database.

You need to improve performance of the application while still allowing the report queries to finish.
Solution: You configure the Resource Governor to limit the amount of memory, CPU, and IOPS used for the
pool of all queries that the Reporting_user login can run concurrently.

Solution: You create a snapshot of the database. You configure all report queries to use the database
snapshot.
Does the solution meet the goal?

A company has an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server 2014 environment. The company has a main office in
Seattle, and remote offices in Amsterdam and Tokyo. You plan to deploy a Microsoft Azure SQL Database
instance to support a new application. You expect to have 100 users from each office.
In the past, users at remote sites reported issues when they used applications hosted at the Seattle office.You need to optimize performance for users running reports while minimizing costs.
What should you do?

You are deploying a Microsoft SQL Server database that will support a mixed OLTP and OLAP workload. The
target virtual machine has four CPUs.
You need to ensure that reports do not use all available system resources.
What should you do?

DRAG DROP
A new Azure Active Directory security principal named ReportUser@contoso.onmicrosoft.com should have
access to select all current and future objects in the Reporting database. You should not grant the principal
any other permissions. You should use your Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) account to authenticate
to the Azure SQL database.
You need to create the new security principal.

question.
You deploy Microsoft SQL Server to a virtual machine in Azure. You distribute the database files and filegroups
across multiple Azure storage disks.
You must be able to manage the databases as individual entities by using SQL Server Management Studio. Alldata in the databases must be stored encrypted. Backups must be encrypted by using the same key as the live
copy of the database.
You need to secure the data.
