Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain
contains a server named Server1.Server1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2 and has the
Hyper-V server role installed.
On Server1, you create and start a virtual machine named VM1.VM1 is configured as shown
in the following table.
You need to recommend a solution to minimize the amount of disk space used for the
checkpoint of VM1.
What should you do before you create the checkpoint?
A.
Run the Resize-VHD cmdlet.
B.
Convert Disk1.vhd to a dynamically expanding disk.
C.
Shut down VM1.
D.
Run the Convert-VHD cmdlet.
Explanation:
A dynamically expanding disk is a VHD, which starts small — usually at only a few kilobytes –
– and expands as additional storage space is needed. It can only grow to the size limit you
designate in the setup wizard.
Shuting down VM1 will free up memory and minimize snapshot size

He’s right. The previous version of this dump had a long conversation about this question and the consensus was that the snapshots will ignore white space anyway, so even if the disk size is fixed the snapshot size won’t be impacted by the extra white space.

So answer should be Convert disk to dynamic right?

No the correct answer is C. You need to shutdown the VM in order to create a snapshot. Like Jony said, shuting down the VM will free up memory a minimize snapshot, when compared to turning off or saving the state of the VM.

hi All,
i passed exam this morning, this question was part of the exam.
i had 100% on hyper-V part and i answered : shut-down Vm.
Take the question simply “reduce the size of the chekpoint” changing disk type won’t reduce snapshot size, but disk size.
Answer is C
