HOTSPOT
Yournetwork 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: 
Explanation:
<map><m x1=”9″ x2=”210″ y1=”148″ y2=”171″ ss=”0″ a=”0″ /><m x1=”261″ x2=”328″
y1=”128″ y2=”148″ ss=”0″ a=”0″ /><m x1=”435″ x2=”480″ y1=”128″ y2=”147″ ss=”0″ a=”0″
/></map>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. Choose an IPAM Provisioning Method
The answer is not correct.
Since Windows2012R2 when using IPAM with an SQL db, you can change the Provisioning from Manual to Automatic (GPO Provisioning). You cannot change from Automatic to Manual.
The change from Manual to Automatic is only possible when using a SQL db.

It says that the server is named SQL1, it does not say that a SQL database is in use for IPAM, could be a WID database on a server named SQL1. The name of the server does not imply the type of database is being used IMHO.

While you are technically correct, I don’t think Uninstall is the answer. A lot of MS questions are very tricky and specific in details. I think it’s safe to assume that SQL1 is indeed a SQL server and MS most likely wants us to choose Set-IPAMConfiguration as the answer. Not many people know about the fact that only 2012 R2 supports this provisioning change and ONLY when using a SQL db. Considering this is a R2 related exam, I don’t think MS would be that dumb to make the answer “Uninstall”, as that would be a pre 2012 R2 answer.

If it was an internal database, it would be located locally on the server.
It says it’s installed on a different server, hence SQL.

So answer should be :
Set-IpmaConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic

You can’t go from manual to automagic.

Sorry. You can go from manual to automagic.
you can’t go from SQL to WID.

when completing the provisioning wizard and manual provisioning is select, then there will be a message before hitting apply, saying “you can use set-ipamconfigration to change from manual to GPO based provisioning later if desired”
so this is tricky, because on first sight it looks like given answer is wrong.
But everybody who tries EXACTLY the described and the given commands in a lab will see that an error occurs:
The given set-ipamconfiguration command is missing mandatory parameter! Try for yourself and you will see.
Looks like that’s why the given answer is correct even though nobody who knows what he’s doing would act this way. But hey, remember real life situation, similar stuff comes into my mind, maybe that’s what a 9to5 admin would do 😉

TESTED IN LAB ALSO WATCHED CBTNUGGETS VIDEO LESSON ABOUT IPAM
you can change from manual to gpo mode using command set-ipamconfiguration cmdlts command looks like : set-ipamconfiguration -provisoningmethod -automatic and it works.
Also made screenshots see pic links:

NOTE you cant change from gpo mode to manual.

did you also test the exam in lab? 😉
your screenshot is showing additional parameter that’s mandatory for the command to work.
But that’s not the way they offer you as an answer! You have to be EXACT and ACCUARATE, not editing nor adding stuff.
That’s why you are wrong and given answer is corret…

Well, to be frank, your screenshots confirm, that the answer should be Set-IPAMConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic . I don’t see what’s wrong with the command – everywhere you’re getting warned, that once you go to GPO-based, you cannot revert back to manual, but you’re not required to – you need exactly to go to gpo, end of story. If you were to install it with manual provisioning, then the answer would’ve been correct.
In this case: Set-IPAMConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic

The answer is
InvokeIPAMGPOProvisioning -ProvisioningMethod -Automatic
When using SQL for your DB, you are able to upgrade from Manual to Automatic

Guys,
We need to remind ourselves that the question being asked is what we need to do FIRST.
#1: This TechNet article CLEARLY states once a provisioning method has been selected the provisioning method cannot be changed and IPAM has to be uninstalled and reinstalled: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878310(v=ws.11).aspx
#2: The SQL additional prompt is only in question IF the server is 2012 R2. The question does not state whether or not the server is 2012 R2.
While I do believe we can assume we are dealing with an SQL Database, since we do not have enough information to conclude whether or not the server is 2012 R2 I believe the given answer is correct as the first step. The second step would be to re install and provision with GPO.

The article A+ linked seems to provide a definitive answer. The supplied answer to the question is correct.
I had committed the incorrect information that you could change from manual to GPO but not gpo to manual to memory….so memory correction is in order. Perhaps that incorrect information was due to the fact that you can manually setup GPOs (outside of IPAM) to perform the function. Regardless, based on MS documentation an uninstall & reinstall would be the correct step.
