Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 36

You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016 and has the Hyper-V server role installed.
On server1, you plan to create a virtual machine named VM1.
You need to ensure that you can start VM1 from the network.
What are two possible ways to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

Answer options

• A. Create a generation 2 virtual machine.
• B. Create a generation 1 virtual machine and run the Enable-NetAdapterPackageDirectcmdlet.
• C. Create a generation 1 virtual machine that has a legacy network adapter.
• D. Create a generation 1 virtual machine and configure a single root I/O virtualization (SRV-IO) interface for the network adapter.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because generation 2 virtual machines support network booting using the standard PXE protocol. Option C is also correct since generation 1 virtual machines can boot from the network when they are configured with a legacy network adapter. Options B and D do not provide valid solutions for network booting in this scenario.
