DRAG DROP
You are a database administrator of a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 environment. The environment
contains two servers named SQLServer01 and SQLServer02. The database Contoso exists on
SQLServer01. You plan to mirror the Contoso database between SQLServer01 and SQLServer02 by
using database mirroring. You need to prepare the Contoso database for database mirroring. 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 create an availability group that has replicas named HA/Server01 and HA/Server02. Currently,
HA/Server01 is the primary replica. You have multiple queries that read data and produce reports
from the database. You need to offload the reporting workload to the secondary replica when
HA/Server01 is the primary replica. 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 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?

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?

You administer two Microsoft SQL Server 2012 servers. Each server resides in a different, untrusted
domain. You plan to configure database mirroring. You need to be able to create database mirroring
endpoints on both servers. What should you do?

You are migrating a database named Orders to a new server that runs Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
You attempt to add the [Corpnet\User1] login to the database. However, you receive the following
error message:
“User already exists in current database.”
You need to configure the [Corpnet\User1] login to be able to access the Orders database and retain
the original permissions. You need to achieve this goal by using the minimum required permissions.
Which Transact-SQL statement should you use?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database. You configure Transparent Data Encryption
(TDE) on the Orders database by using the following statements:

You attempt to restore the Orders database and the restore fails. You copy the encryption file to the
original location. A hardware failure occurs and so a new server must be installed and configured.
After installing SQL Server to the new server, you restore the Orders database and copy the
encryption files to their original location. However, you are unable to access the database. You need
to be able to restore the database. Which Transact-SQL statement should you use before attempting
the restore?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database that has Trustworthy set to On. You create a
stored procedure that returns database-level information from Dynamic Management Views. You
grant User1 access to execute the stored procedure. You need to ensure that the stored procedure
returns the required information when User1 executes the stored procedure. You need to achieve
this goal by granting the minimum permissions required. What should you do? (Each correct answer
presents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.)

You use a contained database named ContosoDb within a domain. You need to create a user who
can log on to the ContosoDb database. You also need to ensure that you can port the database to
different database servers within the domain without additional user account configurations. Which
type of user should you create?
