A company has a main office and several branch offices. Each branch office is connected to the main
office by a low-bandwidth link. You have a virtual hard disk (VHD) that contains Windows 7 and a
large amount of data. You delete a significant portion of the data. You need to prepare the existing
VHD for deployment to the branch offices while minimizing the deployment time. What should you
do?
A.
Merge the disk.
B.
Compact the disk.
C.
Create a fixed-size disk.
D.
Create a differencing disk.
E.
Create a dynamically expanding disk.
F.
Enable Integration Features.
G.
Configure EnableUndo Disks.
H.
Configure the VM network adapter to Not Connected.
I.
Configure the VM network adapter to Internal Network.
J.
Configure the VM network adapter to Shared Networking (NAT).
K.
Configure the VM network adapter to the physical network adapter,
Explanation:
Compacting a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk reduces the size of the virtual hard disk (.vhd)
file as much as possible. Typically you would compact a virtual hard disk in situations such as the
following: After you install the guest operating system (which uses many temporary files) After you
delete large amounts of data When you are preparing the virtual hard disk for archiving, for
deployment to another computer or CD-ROM, or for distribution You can compact a dynamically
expanding virtual hard disk. You cannot compact any other type of virtual hard disk. However, you
can convert a fixed-size virtual hard disk to a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk and then
compact the disk. If you want to compact a differencing virtual hard disk or an undo disk, you must
merge the changes to the parent disk and then compact the parent disk, if it is a dynamically
expanding virtual hard disk. For instructions on converting disks, see Convert a virtual hard disk. For
instructions on merging disks, see Merge a virtual hard disk. http://technet.microsoft.com/enus/library/cc708394(v=ws.10).aspx
