DRAG DROP
You have two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 has the
Hyper-V server role installed. Server1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1. VM1 is currently running.
VM1 has a snapshot that was created two weeks ago.
You plan to use Server2 to perform a forensic analysis of the contents of the disk of VM1 from two
weeks ago.
You need to ensure that you can view the contents of the disk of VM1 from two weeks ago from
Server2.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate three
actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
Answer:
Box 3:
Note:
Step 1:
Shut down VM1.
Step 2: Export the snapshot from Server1 by right-clicking on it and selecting export./ The common container for storing a VM-accessible disk is the VHD file. You can create, change,
test, and compact these disks while they aren’t in use by a VM.
/ mount-VHD Mounts a VHD on a host for access
* Hyper-V snapshots can be quite useful. They make software and systems testing a little less
stressful because you know you can roll back any changes. They can provide a “quick and dirty“
backup solution. Or you can use them as starting points for new virtual machines.
Can somebody please explain why I need to shut down the VM? If I have a snapshot, why not use that directly?
My guess is that since the VM is running, the file is being used, so you would not be able to copy it…
