Which service should you start?

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain
contains a member server named Server1. Server1 has the IP Address Management (IPAM)
Server feature installed.
A technician performs maintenance on Server1.
After the maintenance is complete, you discover that you cannot connect to the IPAM server on Server1.
You open the Services console as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.)

You need to ensure that you can connect to the IPAM server.

The correct answer is actually A and C.

Both services need to be running on the IPAm server in order to connect to it. I don’t know what they are asking here but both A and C need to be active to berunning.

in the TechNet link look under “Connecting to the IPAM Server”

I would guess that the answer is A because you will always be reliant on that service to connect, but you could be using a SQL database which would mean you wouldn’t require the Windows Internal Database.

So my money is on A unless I find another explanation.

Same here in 2017 where I come from!

On-topic: I believe that, if you install a SQL DB it will automatically remove/disable the WID service? I remember reading that somewhere but can’t recall where. Anyway, if that’s the case, we would/should not see the WID service in the snippet.

I went ahead and installed IPAM in my lab, stopped A,B,D and I was able to connect to the IPAM server. I then enabled A,B,D and disabled C, whoops – not able to connect.

Therefore, I agree with the given answer as being correct.

Ok the asnwer is the A but nothing saying the DB is SQL, what is the right answer? A or C

According to a book I have (70-412 Student Guide from Stormwind), IPAM only supports Windows Internal Database (not SQL Server, MySQL, or any other third-party solution). Because of this I believe the answer is C. As long as the Windows Process Activation Service is not disabled and is properly set as a dependency for Windows Internal Database, it will start automatically when you start the Windows Internal Database service.

The initial release of IPAM for Windows Server 2012 only supported using the Windows
Internal Database to host IPAM information. The updated version of IPAM available in
Windows Server 2012 R2 allows you to configure IPAM to use an instance of SQL Server 2012 or later to host IPAM information.

According to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878309.aspx its A and C.( if the test gives 2 choices choose both)

Since this is R2 then it leads me to believe the answer is A ….but this will have to be verified with a Sql data base running on a seperate box to see if internal database service is required.

The other caveat here is they dont mention SQL so its C because its a requirement for IPAM.( Im going to stick with C on my exam) looked everywhere else I could find and it C as of 1/12/15

The answer is Windows Internal Database. Tested this in a lab, IPAM works even if the Windows Process Activation Service is Disabled. But IPAM does not open if the Windows Internal Database is stopped or disabled.

Il be honest I think this is an old question from before the R2 stuff got added. The answer is irrelevant now because with R2 you can use SQL aswell. Before R2, the answer would have been C but I doubt you would still get this question.

Joe

from what I have seen this question will probably look for A now with it being 2012 R2 (and having the option to use SQL). Obviously unless it specifies you will not know if it is using WID or SQL but I would probably assume SQL if it is in fact R2 as this will always be the recommended DB type to use where possible.

I have just tried on my test server…

Stopped A, B and D, could still connect to IPAM.

Stopped C and I could still connect but I noticed that the service was starting again by its self, so I disabled the service and then could not connect. So it is C.

Gareth

Gareth

Where you using SQL or WID?

joe

joe

WID…

Although that’s not what I’m getting at. What I am saying is it seems I have been able to rule out the other 3 options by stopping the services and still being able to connect, then when I stopped WID I could not connect. So from what I have tested the only answer it can be is WID.

Unless of course one of the other services behave differently when using a SQL database? Possibly one of them needs to be running to be able to use SQL?
Haven’t got a SQL server available to use unfortunately so cannot test it any further than I already have. Has anyone else tested this when using SQL?

joe

I have just managed to get onto one of my companies SQL servers to check something… By the looks of things when SQL is installed the WID service gets removed (the SQL server does not have the WID service listed in services). Therefore the screenshot in this question would suggest that IPAM is actually using WID so WID service needs to be running.
Not saying this is the case but I am confident it is after finding this out.

The answer is “C” because IPAM does not support external databases. Only a Windows Internal Database is supported.

Not A. IPAM works even if the Windows Process Activation Service is not running.
Not B. IPAM does not require the Windows Event Collector Service. It needs to be running on the managed DC/ DNS/DHCP computers.
Not D. IPAM does not require the Windows Store Service. It provides infrastructure support for Windows Store.This service is started on demand and if disabled applications bought using Windows Store will not behave correctly.
