Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 230

You have a server named Server1 that contains five volumes.
You install Data Deduplication on Server1.
You plan to enable Data Deduplication on volumes that can achieve a space saving of 50 percent or greater.
What should you run to identify on which volumes you should enable Data Deduplication?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, ddpeval.exe, as it specifically evaluates volumes for potential space savings with Data Deduplication. The other options do not provide the necessary analysis; Optimize-Volume is for optimizing storage but does not assess deduplication potential, ddpcli.exe is not a standard command for this purpose, diskpart.exe is used for disk management tasks rather than deduplication analysis, and Get-DedupVolume retrieves information about existing deduplication settings rather than evaluating space savings.
