Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a server named
Server1. Server1 runs Windows Server 2012.
You need to create 3-TB virtual hard disk (VHD) on Server1.
Which tool should you use?
A.
Server Manager
B.
Diskpart
C.
New-StoragePool
D.
New-VirtualDisk
Explanation:
The New-VirtualDisk command creates a new virtual disk in the specified storage pool.
B
You’re wrong. Diskpart can’t create a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD), for this the tool is New-VirtualDisk. The correct answer is D.
You are Right! =)
No you are wrong. The powershell command for creating a VHD(X) is New-VHD.
New-VirtualDisk is used to create a Storage Space from a Storage Pool.
The problem with this question is, as usual, there are 2 right answers – diskpart can create a VHDX in Windows8/2012+ but Server Manager can also launch a Wizard to create a VHD(X). I think the most right answer is diskpart becuase it is much quicker.
No.. In here VHD means Virtual Hard Disk. not .vhd. So I think Diskpart is better for this.
Diskpart is fully capable of creating VHDX disks without a problem, is just a matter to specify what kind of disk is required over the command line.
I think question should be more specific on what they want, its ambiguity makes us hard to differenciate and leads to a lucky shot.
Both tools works, diskpart is oldschool and New Virtual disk is for a storage pool intended.
This question is asked more than 5 times in this same dump with different answers each time. “Diskpart” is the most consistent answer “outside” of this dump. It can be done many different ways. Either way you need vhdx to install a 3tb drive.
All these questions have not anything to do with technical understanding. That’s just guessing what tool is the best for which purpose with lots of wrong answers.

DiskPart Commands
Create partition
Create volume
Create vdisk
D is to create Virtual Disk which is not VHD.
VHD can’t go pass 2TB
only VHDx can.
Diskpart can’t make VHD pass 2TB as well…
I am tired of seeing this question.
“D” is the better answer because this is about Windows Server 2012. Microsoft is pushing Powershell.
But it’s used for created disks in a storage pool. As there’s no mention of a storage pool, B is the one i go for.
This is a stupid question
from server manager > tools > computer management > disk management > action > create vhd or vhdx
so what the heck is answer then.
Correct answer is B.
To create new virtual hard disk, there are two basic options :
– Server Manage > Computer management > Disk management > Create vhd
– diskpart > Create vdisk

Nobody has brought it up,but A is also a viable answer.

Reading the question – create a “Virtual Hard Disk” (not Virtual Disk, so that rules out Storage Pool stuff i.e C & D) and need a “3TB” size (so that rules out Diskpart as that only does VHD so 2TB limit)
… that only leaves Server Manager (via Comp Mgmt / Disk Mgmt / Create VHDX as Bob and Ex have said already) option.
So here it must be A. (But I’ve seen other versions of this Q elsewhere, with other options… just keep in mind they ALL ask for 3TB so you need something that handles VHDXs)
