You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. The storage on Server1 is
configured as shown in the following table.
You plan to implement Data Deduplication on Server1.
You need to identify on which drives you can enable Data Deduplication.
Which three drives should you identify? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose
three.)
A.
C
B.
D
C.
E
D.
F
E.
G
Explanation:
Volumes that are candidates for deduplication must conform to the following requirements:* Must not be a system or boot volume. (not A)
* Can be partitioned as a master boot record (MBR) or a GUID Partition Table (GPT), and must be
formatted using the NTFS file system. (not C)
* Can reside on shared storage, such as storage that uses a Fibre Channel or an SAS array, or when
an iSCSI SAN and Windows Failover Clustering is fully supported.
* Do not rely on Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs). You can access data if a deduplication-enabled
volume is converted to a CSV, but you cannot continue to process files for deduplication.
* Do not rely on the Microsoft Resilient File System (ReFS).
* Must be exposed to the operating system as non-removable drives. Remotely-mapped drives are
not supported.

recently I had this question but they only needed 2 drives not three.
anyone know which two drives should be identify?
I think it then should be drives D+G because the other one is iSCI. Is the only difference I can see right now between the disks.
The explanation states it should be a non-removable drive. Remotely-mapped drives are not supported.
If I see two options for this question, I also go with D and G
I don’t see any other difference either.. The question would be wrong then, as iSCI is also supported..But as I said, if….
not sure if Configuration (ProgramData/UserData) play any role here?
check step 2 of the link in description…

In that case the answer would be drives F and G?
Answer is correct. Data deduplication is not supported on REFS. Likewise you can’t do data deduplication on a system/boot drive.

Ya but if the exam only required two answer? i think either D+G or F+G is correct
F + G then. Programdata may be considered part of the operating system. But there is nothing wrong with F and G.
