You manage two datacenters in different geographic regions and one branch office. You
plan to implement a geo-redundant backup solution. You need to ensure that each
datacenter is a cold site for the other. You create a recovery vault. What should you do next?
A.
Install the provider.
B.
Upload a certificate to the vault.
C.
Generate a vault key.
D.
Set all virtual machines to DHCP.
E.
Prepare System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) servers.
F.
Create mappings between the virtual machine (VM) networks.

Agree – Generate Vault Key is the next logical step in this process!!

From the official training manual: “Exam Tip: Configuring the agent with vault credentials is a relatively new process. Previous versions of the wizard prompted you to browse for a self-signed certificate, which performed the same function (vault identification and authentication).”
I agree. Found something similar here http://exam-test-ms-70-533.azurewebsites.net/
You need to install the ASR provider after creating the (ASR) vault. It is clear from the links that you have pasted here as well.
Look at Step 2 in the link. The very first line says, “Install the Azure Site Recovery Provider on VMM servers, and register servers in the vault.”
This is an On-prem to On-prem ASR implementation steps question.
The steps that I can summarize are:
Create ASR Vault
Install ASR Provider
Configure Cloud Protection Settings
Create Network & Storage Mappings
Enable Protection for VMs
Create Recovery Plans
Again, there seems to be a tricky line between #4 and #5 under Step 2. #4 says “4.*Download* the Azure Site Recovery Provider installation file”. #5 says “5.*Download* the registration key.”. #6 is “6.*Install* the Azure Site Recovery Provider”. So have we *generated* the vault key in #5? If yes, then Generate Key is the right answer. However, the first line under Step 2 says “Install the provider”.
Grrrrr…. again.
