Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 208

You have a Hyper-V server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1 that runs Windows Server 2016. VM1 connects to an external virtual switch named Switch1.
You can ping VM1 from Server1.
You upgrade Server1 to Windows Server 2016.
You need to ensure that you can connect to VM1 by using PowerShell Direct.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Configure the firewall rules on Server1.
• B. Enable the Hyper-V extensible switch extensions on Server1.
• C. Upgrade the configuration version of VM1.
• D. Configure the firewall rules on VM1.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because upgrading the configuration version of VM1 is necessary for compatibility with the features introduced in Windows Server 2016. Options A and D do not address the specific requirement for PowerShell Direct connectivity, and option B is irrelevant since the issue does not pertain to switch extensions.
