You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database.
The database contains a customer table created by using the following definition:

You need to ensure that the minimum amount of disk space is used to store the data in the
customer table.
What should you do?

You are creating an application that will connect to the AgentPortal database by using a SQL
login named AgentPortalUser. Stored procedures in the database will use sp_send_dbmail
to send email messages.
You create a user account in the msdb database for the AgentPortalUser login. You use the
Database Mail Configuration Wizard to create a Database Mail profile. Security has not been
configured for the Database Mail profile.
You need to ensure that AgentPortalUser can send email messages.
What should you do?

DRAG DROP
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database.
You need to convert the database to a contained database. You also need to ensure that all
users are converted to contained users.
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 a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 default instance.
The instance is hosted by a server that has a local firewall configureD. The firewall only
allows inbound connections on port 1433. The server only hosts a single instance of SQL
Server.
You need to ensure that the instance is configured to allow remote connections even if the
SQL Server is unresponsive to client connections.

What should you do? Choose all that apply.

You use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 to write code for a transaction that contains several
statements.
There is high contention between readers and writers on several tables used by your
transaction. You need to minimize the use of the tempdb space.
You also need to prevent reading queries from blocking writing queries.
Which isolation level should you use?

DRAG DROP
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 clustered instance that has two nodes named
Node 1 and Node 2.
Node 1 fails and the cluster fails over to Node 2.
You need to replace Node 1 and add it to the cluster.
Which four 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 a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 instance that contains a financial database
hosted on a storage area network (SAN).
The financial database has the following characteristics:
A data file of 2 terabytes is located on a dedicated LUN (drive D).
A transaction log of 10 GB is located on a dedicated LUN (drive E).
Drive D has 1 terabyte of free disk space.
Drive E has 5 GB of free disk space.

The database is continually modified by users during business hours from Monday through
Friday between 09:00 hours and 17:00 hours.
Five percent of the existing data is modified each day.
The Finance department loads large CSV files into a number of tables each business day at
11:15 hours and 15:15 hours by using the BCP or BULK INSERT commands.
Each data load adds 3 GB of data to the database.
These data load operations must occur in the minimum amount of time.
A full database backup is performed every Sunday at 10:00 hours.
Backup operations will be performed every two hours (11:00, 13:00, 15:00, and 17:00)
during business hours.
You implement log shipping of the financial database to another SQL Server 2012 instance.
You decide to failover to this secondary database.
You need to ensure that all transactions will be replicated to the secondary database.
Which backup option should you use?

DRAG DROP
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server.
You need to install the Power View components on a stand-alone server.
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 a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database.
You have a SQL Server Agent job instance that runs using the service account. You have a
job step within the job that requires elevated permissions.
You need to ensure that the job step can run using a different user account.
What should you use?

You maintain several databases on a 32-bit Microsoft SQL Server 2005 instance on a
Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit server.
You need to migrate the databases to a 64-bit SQL Server 2012 instance on the same
server. You also need to ensure that the new Transact-SQL functionality in SQL Server 2012
can be used in the database after the migration.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that
apply.)
