Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 1

The University Chess Club has a single Windows Server 2008 R2 server. The server has 12 GB of RAM and 1TB of disk space on a RAID 5 array. Using this server, you need to install two separate instances of Windows Server 2008 R2: one to act as a web server and one to act as a database server.
Which Windows Server 2008 R2 role or feature provides this capability?

Answer options

• A. Windows Deployment Services
• B. Hyper-V
• C. Windows System Resource Manager
• D. Windows Internal Database

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Windows Deployment Services, which is designed to deploy Windows operating systems over a network. The other options do not provide the functionality to create multiple instances of Windows Server; Hyper-V is for virtualization but is not specified as a role in this context, while Windows System Resource Manager and Windows Internal Database serve different purposes unrelated to the installation of separate instances.
