Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a
server named Server1. Server1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
You need to create 3-TB virtual hard disk (VHD) on Server1.
Which tool should you use?
A.
New-StorageSubsytemVirtualDisk
B.
New-VirtualDisk
C.
Server Manager
D.
Computer Management
Explanation:
NOT A Share and Storage will only let you create a VHD on a storage pool
NOT B Server Manager, can’t find where to create this.
NOT C Is this powershell ? the command should be NEW-VHD
(http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2013/06/07/powertip-create-a- new-vhdwith-windows-powershell.aspx)
D Computer management is the only valid yet non available answer.
I’d be left with C, hoping they’d have the good powershell command.
Note:
From @L_Ranger, Computer Management is not an option anymore.
Back to New-VirtualDisk
Old explanation : D (Computer management)For Server 2012:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd851645.aspx
For Server 2008:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/the-enterprise-cloud/build-vhds-offline-with-server-manager/
With the Server Manager snap-in, you can create and attach a .VHD file directly. Figure A shows the
drop-down box where a.VHD file can be created and attached. Figure A
Correct answer is D : Computer management (Computer management > Disk Management > CreateVHD > 3TB-VHDx)

I think the answer should be C.
Even the illustration clearly shows server manager.

That’s server manager for Windows 2008!
It’s not possible to create a VHD via Server manager in Windows 2012

I agree with the answer B

Nope.
The New-VirtualDisk cmdlet creates a new virtual disk in the specified storage pool.
The cmdlet for a VHD/VHDX is “New-VHD”

Computer management is hiding. So it could be a good answer …

This is a trick question I think.
A.
New-StorageSubsytemVirtualDisk
It’s not this one!
“The New-StorageSubsystemVirtualDisk cmdlet allows the creation of a VirtualDisk object on a storage subsystem that does not support creation of storage pools, or if its storage pool does not support virtual disk creation.”
So this is used when virtual disk is not supported!
B & C
Allows creating a “virtual disk” in a storage pool! not a “virtual hard disk”
D.
Computer Management
In computer managment you CAN create a vhd
Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Managemnt -> right click “Create VHD”
The windows is called “Create and attach virtual hard disk”
But you have to select the VHD format to VHDX! vhd only support 2TB.
But it’s still a “virtual hard disk” if you select vhdx

If they mean virtual disk then the task can be done with B & C then there would be 2 correct answers.

Other options (not mentioned here) are diskpart or the New-VHD cmdlet.

New-VirtualDisk: used to creat Virtual disk in Storagepool
New-VHD : used to creat Virtual Disk in Hyper-v
Computer managment or Diskpart , as diskpart dones’t mentioned here so the correct answer is Computer Management
Diskpart
1- PS
Diskpart >
Create Vdisk File=”D:\Foldername\VHDName.vhd or vhdx” Maximum=2000 (the size will be in MB)
