You are a network administrator for your company. The network contains a Windows Server 2003 computer named Server1. You install a custom mission-critical application on Server1 for the shipping department. You install the application on drive D of Server1.
You configure the application database on drive D, and you configure the application database log files on drive E of Server1. After running successfully for six days, the custom application fails. You investigate and find out that drive E is almost completely filled with the application’s log files. The application’s backup program is not properly deleting log files.
Security requirements do not allow log files to be deleted unless the database on Server1 has been backed up. You can keep the application running by manually backing up the application database and then deleting the log files. You need an automated process to keep the application running until a long-term solution can be provided.
Because of the size of the database, you need to minimize the number of backups performed.
What should you do?
A.
Create a script that backs up the database and then deletes the log files. Configure an alert on Server1 to run the script when there is less than 20 percent of free space on drive E.
B.
Create a script that backs up the database and then deletes the log files. Configure a scheduled task to run the script on Server1 each night.
C.
Create a script that backs up the log files and then deletes the log files. Configure a scheduled task to run the script on Server1 each night.
D.
Create a script that backs up the database and then deletes the log files. Configure an event trigger on Server1 to run the script when drive D has 20 percent free space.
Explanation:
Set an alert on a counter with options to send an administrative message, an application is executed, or a log is started when the configured threshold on the counter is breached.Reference:
