Administering and Deploying System Center 2012 Configuration Manager — Question 1

Your network contains a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager environment.
The Configuration Manager databases are located on a remote server that runs Microsoft SQL Server.
You need to ensure that you can restore the Central Administration site.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From the Configuration Manager console, enable the Backup Site Server maintenancetask and set a schedule.
• B. From Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, create a maintenance plan for the site databases.
• C. From Task Scheduler, create a scheduled task that runs smssqlbkup.exe.
• D. From Windows Server Backup, schedule a full systembackup.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because enabling the Backup Site Server maintenance task within the Configuration Manager console directly supports the backup and restoration of the Central Administration site. Options B and C involve SQL Server management and task scheduling, which do not specifically address the Configuration Manager backup process. Option D is too broad, as a full system backup does not focus on the specific needs of the Configuration Manager environment.
