Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a server named
Server1. Server1 runs Windows Server 2012 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 plan to create a snapshot of VM1.
You need to recommend a solution to minimize the amount of disk space used for the snapshot of VM1.
What should you do before you create the snapshot?
A.
Run the Resize-VHD cmdlet.
B.
Run the Stop-VM cmdlet.
C.
Configure VM1 to have a smaller virtual disk.
D.
Run the Convert-VHD cmdlet.
Explanation:
A dynamically expanding disk, on the other hand, is a VHD, which starts small — usually at only a
few kilobytes — and expands as additional storage space is needed. It can only grow, however, to the size limit
you designate in the setup wizard.
This question is repeated multiple times – with different answers. Depending on the question bank the answer will change.

I think its D.
Its a fixed disk now in the question. convert-vhd can convert it to a dynamic disk. once it’s dynamic it can be compacted.

the answer is B – what would happen if the disk was full of data?

B – Stop or shutdown the VM so it doesn’t commit memory in snapshot etc.
