Your network contains an Active Directory domain. The domain contains a new file server named Server1 that runs a Server Core installation of Windows Server
2016.
Server1 has an ReFS-formatted volume D: and NTFS-formatted volume E: The volumes do not contain any data.
You install the Data Deduplication role service on Server1.
You need to implement Data Deduplication for volumes on D: and E:.
Solution: From Windows PowerShell, you run Format-Volume E: -FileSystem ReFS and Enable-DeDupVolume -Volume D:,E:.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The solution does not meet the goal because Data Deduplication cannot be applied to ReFS-formatted volumes, which means formatting volume E: as ReFS is not a valid solution. Since at least one of the volumes (D:) is not compatible with the Data Deduplication feature, the answer is No.
