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 D: -FileSystem NTFS and Enable-DeDupVolume -Volume D:,E:.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The solution provided is correct because converting the D: drive to NTFS allows Data Deduplication to be enabled, as it only works on NTFS volumes. The command to enable Data Deduplication on both D: and E: is also correct, ensuring that both volumes are set up for this feature. Option B is incorrect because it does not recognize the validity of the actions taken to achieve the goal.
