Your company uses an application that stores data in an Active Directory Lightweight
Directory Services (AD LDS) instance named Instance1.
You attempt to create a snapshot of Instance1 as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit
button.)

You need to ensure that you can take a snapshot of Instance1.
What should you do?

A.
At the command prompt, run net start VSS.

B.
At the command prompt, run net start Instance1.

C.
Set the Startup Type for the Instance1 service to Disabled.

D.
Set the Startup Type for the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to Manual.

Explanation:
Hard to find references on this, but the solution can be found by eliminating the rest.
Instance1 is running, otherwise you’d get a different message at the snaphot: create step.
(“AD service
must be running in order to perform this operation”, on my virtual server.)
Disabling Instance1 makes no sense because you need it, nor is setting the Startup Type for
the Volume
Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to Manual.
