Securing Windows Server 2016 — Question 173

You have several virtual machines that run in a hosted data center on Hyper-V hosts.
The hosting provider recently updated the service offering in its Hyper-V environment to include a new Host Guardian Service (HSG).
You plan to use the Shielding Data File Wizard to create a data file that will include password information and an RDP file. The file will be used to create new shielded virtual machines in the fabric of the hosting provider.
What do you require from the hosting provider to complete the wizard?

Answer options

• A. an XML file that contains the names of all the Hyper-V hosts in the fabric.
• B. an XML file that contains virtual machine configuration data from the Hyper-V hosts
• C. a CER file that contains a certificate from the provider
• D. an XML file that contains guardian metadata

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the Shielding Data File Wizard requires guardian metadata from the hosting provider to create shielded virtual machines. The other options do not provide the necessary information for the wizard, as they pertain to host configurations or certificates rather than the specific metadata required for the Host Guardian Service.
