HOTSPOT
Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
You install the IP Address Management (IPAM) Server feature on a server named Server1
and select Manual as the provisioning method.
The IPAM database is located on a server named SQL1.
You need to configure IPAM to use Group Policy Based provisioning.
What command should you run first?
To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Answer: 
Explanation:
Shouldnt this be
Set-IpamConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod -Automatic
No, you can’t change it afterwards:
“You cannot change the provisioning method for the current installation of IPAM Server after it has been selected. To change the provisioning method, you must uninstall and reinstall IPAM Server on the computer.”
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/38e4074a-3caa-4eed-9b11-c4d77741bbdd#choose_method
So that’s why you’ll have to uninstall.
Raoul is correct…cannot go from manual to auto..for Group Policy based provisioning…you can set a policy up but you would have to do this manually for each server…see cbtnuggets 70-412 topic for details
It can be changed after if you are using 2012 R2! Can be changed from manual to gpo but not from gpo to manual.
you can go from manual to automatic if your server is 2012R2 this is the only direction “from manual to automatic” also see the statment “The IPAM database is located on a server named SQL1” 2012R2 only can store its database on sql server 2012 or earlier versions cannot, so the answer is
SET-IPAMCONFIGRATION -PROVISIONINGMETHOD AUTOMATIC
droid is correct check this
-ProvisioningMethod
Specifies a provisioning method. The acceptable values for this parameter are: Automatic and Manual
Applies To: Windows 8.1, Windows PowerShell 4.0, Windows Server 2012 R2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj590816.aspx
The technet article that Raoul posted says very clearly: once the provisioning method is set , you cannot change it.
The question asks what you should do first, and as you cannot modify the Provisioning type, you have to reinstall IPAM , which means that first you have to uninstall it.
The answer is correct.
correct ans plzzzzz????
according to the book “Exam Ref 70-412”, page 243,
Exam Tip says:
“You can’t change the provisioning method after you complete the Provision IPAM Wizard. To change from manual provisioning to Group Policy based provisioning or the other way around, you HAVE TO uninstall and reinstall IPAM”
uninstall-windowsfeature -name -ipam
This is the only way.
First uninstall and then reinstal IPAM.
And I have to add that this advice is titled: Exam Tip on the book.
Agree with Rauol, George and Woitek
Exam Ref 70-417 says on p. 365 you can change it from manual to auto only by running set-ipamconfiguration -provisioningmethod automatic but it is the only source saying that.
Technet says it has to be reinstalled
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878313.aspx
R2 is in question because of external db
Answer = “Remove-IpamServerInventory -Name Sql1”
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878310.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn363307.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj553807.aspx
if you are going to post this at least look it up your answer is wrong
“The Remove-IpamServerInventory cmdlet removes an infrastructure server from an IP Address Management (IPAM) server inventory. After you remove the server, IPAM no longer manages the server and IPAM deletes the corresponding server data from the IPAM database. This cmdlet does not modify the configuration of the infrastructure server.”
According to the chart provided here for provisioning https://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj878313.aspx#provision…you cannot go from manual to auto provisioning…gpo will have to be manually configued
the key to the question here is “Group Policy based”…that means a re-install is required
so the answer here is the default answer.. uninstall windows name ipam
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/38e4074a-3caa-4eed-9b11-c4d77741bbdd#choose_method
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878313.aspx
Sql is wrong because its the name of the server not the database
The correct answer is :
Set-IpamConfiguration -ProvisionningMethod Automatic
Validate in my lab
https://books.google.es/books?id=kL-LAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA365&lpg=PA365&dq=set-ipamconfiguration+change+gpo+windows+2012+r2&source=bl&ots=ws9yqmtcVh&sig=FQFujGVRVuEL4JcjBGeg6XhlZmY&hl=eu&sa=X&ei=4GnCVLy-PMSqUf3cgNAI&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=set-ipamconfiguration%20change%20gpo%20windows%202012%20r2&f=false
Thank you this confusing…. because Technet says otherwise…Microsoft needs to get this straight..spent way too much time on this question…only problem I can see here is why MS hasnt updated this on their end
in book exam ref 70-417 ( from microsoft) is written that in windows 2012 R2 situation has improved and is possible only from manual to gpo-based, and use this command:
set-ipamconfiguration provision method automatic
Changing from manual to GPO using Set-IpamConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic is possible in WS2012 R2 only. The question doesn’t mention the R2 detail. The assumption is we uninstall and then install ipam.
its set ipam config prœv method auto. had full markks īn that section.
On IPAM configuration summary:
Access Provisioning Method:
You have selected the manual provisioning method….
The access configuration mode cannot be modified after completung thw IPAM provisioning wizard.
But id PS I put cmdlet:
Set-IpamConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic IMAPGPO
and I have configured automatic method.
70-412 IPAM
JO: as this is an 2012R2 exam the assumption could be that the server is 2012R2! This is s tricky question and hopefully in the exam MS will be more precise with the details
In my opinion
The answer is written for you in Microsoft IPAM deployment wizard in 2012R2. If you install the IPAM role and then select option 2; Provision the IPAM Server; Then read the “Before you Begin” Page. It states quite clearly at the bottom of the page that you CANNOT go from GPO to manual but you CAN go from manual to GPO based provisioning later if desired by using Set-IpamConfiguration
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj590816.aspx
I suggest the answer is
set-ipamconfiguration -provisioningmethod automatic
i agree with James L, answer should indeed be :
Set-IpamConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic
Here is a screenshot – check the text behind the exclamation mark:
https://mizitechinfo.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/6.png
Thank you , for picture.
Trick here is SQL. Only R2 can have a SQL database, only R2 can change the provisioning from manual to automatic. However, not other way
So what is the correct answer?
Correct answer is Set-IpamConfiguration -ProvisiioningMethod -Automatic
See comments by James L. Martin’s point is a good one too – since it’s a SQL database, it must be 2012 R2 server.
Changing from manual to automatic is a new feature allowed in Windows Server 2012 R2. See screenshot from JO.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj590816.aspx
This is why these exams are so difficult.
Microsoft documentation saying: The choice of a provisioning method is permanent for the current installation of IPAM Server. To change the provisioning method, you must uninstall and reinstall IPAM Server
But if you actually do this in a test/environment you can change from manual to GP but not from GP to manual (see screenshot from JO) – This is just when using R2.
So what answer do you choose? What Microsoft say or what actually works?
Also it does not say in the question whether it is windows server 2012 or R2
We should assume it is R2 because the exam is on R2 but who knows!!
To completely clarify this:
SINCE R2, you CAN go from Manual to Automatic (GPO) by running a powershell command.
you CANT go form Automatic to Manual…you must reinstall the IPAM feature.
The reason this is confusing is because a lot of documentation is outdated and hasnt been updated since the R2 release. If you dont want to believe me, whatever but I recommend you look this up.
give this a quick read:
https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=kL-LAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA365&lpg=PA365&dq=%22Set-IpamConfiguration+-ProvisioningMethod+Automatic%22&source=bl&ots=wsaDvpmjTl&sig=PTzqT9btqeV2OQnKlc65aOYFHU0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAmoVChMIyfacvp7uxgIVgVQUCh3i_AgZ#v=onepage&q=%22Set-IpamConfiguration%20-ProvisioningMethod%20Automatic%22&f=false
Good work Gareth, couldn’t find confirmation of this anywhere
however, I found confirmation by configuring IPAM as manual and then running this command to change it to group policy.
Set-IpamConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic [[-GpoPrefix] ]
ONLY works in Windows Server 2012 R2. Any earlier version you have to Uninstall and reinstall IPAM with the Automatic Provisioning Method.
BTW the answer is incomplete, because you MUST specify the IPAM GPO Prefix.
In the book “Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 R2 Services – Exam Ref 70-412” clearly states the following:
“You can’t change the provisioning method after you complete the Provision IPAM Wizard. To Change from manual provisioning to Group Policy based provisioning or the other way around, you have to UNINSTALL and reinstall IPAM”
I rest my case
In R2 you CAN change from manual to automatic. The 417 book clearly states so and even gives out the command.
“”The choice of a provisioning method is permanent for the current installation of IPAM Server. To change the provisioning method, you must uninstall and reinstall IPAM Server.””
Find it under “important”
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878310.aspx
you can go from manual to automatic if your server is 2012R2 this is the only direction “from manual to automatic” also see the statment “The IPAM database is located on a server named SQL1” 2012R2 only can store its database on sql server 2012 or earlier versions cannot, so the answer is
SET-IPAMCONFIGRATION -PROVISIONINGMETHOD AUTOMATIC
I installed IPAM on my testserver 2012 r2.
When running the wizard to “Provision IPAM Server” (Step 2), the following statement is displayed:
“If you choose the GPO-based provisioning method, you cannot change to the manual method after completing this wizard. However, you can use the Set-IpamConfiguration cmdlet to change from manual to GPO-based provisioning later if desired.”
So the right answer must be: Set-IpamConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic
“Important!
You cannot change the provisioning method for the current installation of IPAM Server after it has been selected. To change the provisioning method, you must uninstall and reinstall IPAM Server on the computer.””
**I’ve posted this elsewhere, but I am also posting it here to dispel any myths**
———————————
Guys – I know there is A LOT of confusion around this. The TechNet documentation is out of date. We know it’s Server 2012 R2 because it mentions using SQL (this is *only* available in 2012 R2). When you run the IPAM wizard and if you select “Manual”, on the next screen (the summary screen) there is an message that says “If you choose the GPO-based provisioning method, you cannot change to the manual method after completing this wizard. However, you can use the Set-IPAMConfiguration Windows Powershell cmdlet to change from manual to GPO-based provisioning later if desired.”
Here is a screen shot for proof. http://imgur.com/CamPMNL
If you don’t believe it – you can test it in your own lab by performing the following steps.
1. Install the IPAM Feature
2. From Server Manager – go to IPAM, and start Step 1 “Provision the IPAM Server”.
3. Select the manual method and click Next
You will be able to prove this to yourself in a matter of minutes.
As i wasn’t sure if what was being said here was true, i had to confirm for myself, and i can now say that it is true.
In server 2012 R2 you can change the provisioning method from manual to GPO-based provisioning, but not the other way around.
I share the images from the commands i used, which prove what i just said: http://imgur.com/a/YXZIy.
Correct answer is: Set-IpamConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic.

The exam has been updated to R2, so you can assume that the installation of IPAM will be a 2012 R2, if not stated otherwise.
To conclude, the solution is
in 2012 RTM: Uninstall-Windowsfeature -Name Ipam
in 2012 R2 : Set-IPAMConfiguration -ProvisioningMethod Automatic
As a side note: MS wants to hear the best possible solution given the choice. There has been no word, that a given solution is technically accurate with all paramters provided.

Don’t trust the technet articles they are not updated properly (they use the same 2012 articles and add 2012 R2 to the scope). The technet article for IPAM Deployment also states that IPAM only supports WID and doesn’t support external databases so this question would already be invalidated if that was true.
Windows 2012 R2 supports external SQL and migrating from Manual to GPO based through Set-IpamConfiguration cmdlet so the fact that SQL is specified in the question already ensures it is 2012 R2 and supports changing the provisioning method.
