Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 131

You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016 and has the File and Storage Services server role installed.
Server1 has an ReFS-formatted volume named Volume1 that is 512 GB. Volume1 is mounted as C:\App1\temp.
You need to ensure that you can enable deduplication of Volume1.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Format Volume1.
• B. Unmount Volume1.
• C. Install a Windows feature.
• D. Initialize the physical disk that contains Volume1.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

To enable deduplication on an ReFS volume, you must first install the necessary Windows feature, which is why option C is the correct choice. Formatting the volume (option A) would erase its data, unmounting (option B) would not assist in enabling deduplication, and initializing the disk (option D) is irrelevant since the volume is already formatted and mounted.
