Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
You install the IP Address Management (IPAM) Server feature on a server named Server1 and select
Manual as the provisioning method.
The IPAM database is located on a server named SQL1.
You need to configure IPAM to use Group Policy Based provisioning.
What command should you run first?
To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Answer:

Correct answer is Set-IpamConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic

answer is correct, because :
The choice of a provisioning method is permanent for the current installation of IPAM Server. To change the provisioning method, you must uninstall and reinstall IPAM Server.

Solar is correct you can move from Manual to Automatic by using Set-IpamConfiguration but not the other way.

Set-IpamConfiguration is correct answer (since W2k12R2).

The answer given is correct. Once you set the provisioning method to manual or GP, it cannot be changed without uninstalling and reinstalling. It does not matter which one you change “from” or “to”. Any change requires a reinstall. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878310.aspx

Nowhere in the question does it state the server is Win2k12 R2. In order to change from manual to GPO-based provisioning using the set-ipamconfiguration cmdlet, you must be running R2. Since we don’t know version the server is running in the question, the acceptable answer should be to uninstall/reinstall, as that method works in all versions. If the question on the test specifically states Win2k12 R2, then set-ipamconfiguration -provisioningmethod automatic would be the correct response.

But isnt the whole exam aimed at 2012 R2?

The choice of a provisioning method is permanent for the current installation of IPAM Server. To change the provisioning method, you must uninstall and reinstall IPAM Server.
This procedure assumes that you have already connected to the IPAM server that you will provision using the IPAM client console. To connect to a different IPAM server, click Connect to IPAM server on the IPAM Overview page.

Assuming 2012 R2, you can change using Set-IPAMConfiguration. Here is a screenshot of the summary page for IPAM provisioning – it also mentions that you can go from manual to GPO but not the other way

Solar is 100% correct. The answer is Set-IpamConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic. The question clearly states the IPAM database is on SQL1. SQL is *only* supported on Windows Server 2012 R2 (as detailed here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/library/dn758115.aspx). Windows 2012 DOES NOT support the IPAM database on SQL. Because the question tells us the database is on SQL, we can infer that it is using Windows 2012 R2. This means the powershell cmdlet to change the provisioning mode will work.

Posing this as further evidence…. (I’ve posted this on the same question in other tests aswell).

Guys – I know there is A LOT of confusion around this, but Daniel and Lafegob are 100% correct. The TechNet documentation is out of date. We know it’s Server 2012 R2 because it mentions using SQL (this is *only* available in 2012 R2). When you run the IPAM wizard and if you select “Manual”, on the next screen (the summary screen) there is an message that says “If you choose the GPO-based provisioning method, you cannot change to the manual method after completing this wizard. However, you can use the Set-IPAMConfiguration Windows Powershell cmdlet to change from manual to GPO-based provisioning later if desired.”
Here is a screen shot for proof. http://imgur.com/CamPMNL
If you don’t believe it – you can test it in your own lab by performing the following steps.
1. Install the IPAM Feature
2. From Server Manager – go to IPAM, and start Step 1 “Provision the IPAM Server”.
3. Select the manual method and click Next
You will be able to prove this to yourself in a matter of minutes.

Agree with TDAC, I’ve just tested in my 2012R2 lab and I can change the provisioning from Manual to Automatic but not the other way around.

The IPAM database is located on a server NAMED SQL1. I don’t think that means this it is a server with an SQL database. This seems like tricky wording to put you off.

SQL1 must be a SQL server running a SQL database for IPAM; WID is only for local installs and IPAM on WID would be local not for remote installs.
