You have a Hyper-V host named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012.
Server1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1 that runsWindows Server 2012.
VM1 has several snapshots.
You need to modify the snapshot file location of VM1.
What should you do?
A.
Right-click VM1, and then click Export…
B.
Modify the Hyper-V settings.
C.
Delete the existing snapshots, and then modify the settings of VM1.
D.
Shut down VM1, and then modify the settings of VM1.
It’s C. I test if you have existing snapshot you can’t change it.

Did you try exporting it?

I see what you mean, but if you want to export , i think you need to shutdown first..

In 2012 R2 from this article you can export a running VM.

I think you’re correct though. I dont have a test environment so cannot test myself. So when you deleted the snapshot you could change the location?

Yes,I can change it after I delete the snapshot. Actually I test if it is in a cluster environment,I can directly drag and drop, or copy/paste the snapshot to a new place.

You need to modify the snapshot file location of VM1!
A. INCORRECT (You are creating a copy of VM1, not changing anything for VM1 self!)
B. INCORRECT (You can ONLY change setting of the Hyper-V HOST self)
C. CORRECT (You can ONLY change the Snapshot (Checkpoint) File Location if NONE Exist)
D. INCORRECT (You can NOT change the Snap/Chk File Location with Existing Snap/Chk)
However: You can use (Live) Migration and choose to ONLY change the file locations separately! (You do not NEED to move to separate Hyper-V server!)
But this is not among the answers given.

This is the third time this question has come up. Different answer every time. From what I read you can’t have an existing snapshot if you change the location so it must be deleted first.

Answer is D (http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Microsoft_Applications/Virtual_Server/Q_28440699.html)
You can change the snapshot location of each VM to a different VM. Snapshot is now “CheckPoint” from Windows Server 2012 R2. This location will be applicable for the new Snapshots which are getting created.
Go to VM settings -> Check Point File Location
Browse the new location

A seems right to me. The easiest way for you to do this (at this point) is to shutdown, and export the VM to D:\NewLocation
Then import the VM from that location.
This will fix all of the snapshots, retain the snapshot history, and change the default snapshot location from this point moving forward.
After you complete the export and import and power on the new VM (to verify it is working). Then delete the vm from Hyper-v (wait for the background merge to complete) then delete the VHD that will be left over.

my final answer is C
“The snapshot file location cannot be changed because the virtual machine has at least one snapshot”. It would be d if we didn’t have any snapshots.

definitely C
“If the virtual machine has no checkpoints, you can change where these checkpoint files are stored.”

It’s C.
I just went into my 2012R2 hyper-v from RSAT and you can not change the current directory that checkpoints are stored in until you delete any current check points.
You delete all check points and then right click on the virtualized machine instace>Settings> Checkpoint. You can then modify the default directory to save to.

today in the exam the answer NO. no there.
it’s swapped by power of VM1, and then modify the settings of VM1.

Do you mean “Power off VM1, then modify the settings of VM1” Answer will remain the same C
