Your network contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. Server1 has the
Hyper-V server role installed. Server1 hosts a virtual machine (VM) named VM1. You take a snapshot
of VM1 at 05:00 and at 19:00. You use Hyper-V Manager to delete the snapshot taken at 05:00. You
need to ensure that the files created by the 05:00 snapshot are deleted from the hard disk on
Server1. What should you do?
A.
At the command prompt, run the rmdir.exe command.
B.
From Windows PowerShell, run the Remove-Item cmdlet.
C.
From the Hyper-V Manager console, shut down VM1.
D.
From the Hyper-V Manager console, right-click VM1 and click Revert.
Explanation:
When you delete a snapshot, the .avhd files that store the snapshot data remain in the storage
location until the virtual machine is shut down, turned off, or put into a saved state. As a result,
when you delete a snapshot, you will need to put the production virtual machine into one of those
states at some point to be able to complete the safe removal of the snapshot.
