Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 92

You have two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2016.
Server1 and Server2 are nodes in a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster. The Web Server role is installed on each node.
Users report that when they submit web form data, sometimes the data is not stored, and they must fill in the form again.
You need to resolve the issue. The solution must ensure that connections are load balanced between Server1 and Server2.
What should you do in the NLB cluster?

Answer options

• A. Modify the existing port rules.
• B. Modify the Cluster operation mode.
• C. Add the Microsoft Load Balancing/Failover Provider service to all of the network adapters.
• D. Add an IP address.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because modifying the Cluster operation mode can help ensure consistent session handling, which is crucial for web forms that require data to be retained across requests. The other options do not directly address the session persistence issue caused by load balancing, which is key to solving the users' experience of losing their submitted data.
