Overview
Northwind Traders is a retail company.
The company has offices in North America, Europe, and Asia.
The company plans to implement a private cloud solution that uses System Center 2012 R2.
Existing Environment
Network Infrastructure
Northwind Traders has a single data center that contains an internal network and a perimeter network. The
networks are separated by a firewall. The relevant portion of the network is shown in the exhibit. (Click the
Exhibit button.)
The networks contain the network devices shown in the following table.
The network contains an Active Directory forest named northwindtraders.com. The forest contains servers that
run either Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2008 R2.
Northwind Traders uses Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to deploy updates to all of the servers in
the data center. WSUS is installed on a server named NWT-WSUS01.
The network contains as the servers shown in the following table.
Virtualization Infrastructure
Northwind Traders has Hyper-V hosts that run either Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012. The
Hyper-V hosts contain virtual machines that are used on the network.
The current System Center 2012 infrastructure does not use any cloud settings in VMM.
Application Infrastructure
Northwind Traders develops several web applications by using the Microsoft .NET Framework. The company
also hosts a third-party UNIX-based web application on the perimeter network.
Planned Implementation
Network Infrastructure
Northwind Traders plans to upgrade all physical servers to Windows Server 2012 R2.
Northwind Traders also plans to upgrade all of the System Center 2012 components to System Center 2012 R2
and to deploy all of the System Center components that are not deployed already.
The company plans to deploy the new System Center 2012 R2 servers shown in the following table.
NWT-SCOM2 will be deployed to the perimeter network
Virtualization Infrastructure
After the planned deployment of System Center 2012 R2, Northwind Traders plans to move all virtual machines
to four new private clouds named IT, Sales, Finance, and Corporate.
Northwind Traders also plans to virtualize all of the servers that run SharePoint Server 2013.
Northwind Traders plans to provide a runbook-based solution for application developers to create virtual
machines in a test environment.
Northwind Traders also plans to implement a chargeback solution for the virtual machines used by the IT,
Sales, and Finance departments.
Monitoring Solution
After the planned deployment of System Center 2012 R2, Northwind Traders plans to implement the following
monitoring solutions:
Generate reports that provide details about the virtual machines, the storage pools, and the network devices
used in the private clouds.
Monitor the availability, CPU usage, and memory usage of all the network devices in the data center.
Monitor the performance of all the SharePoint servers by using a single dashboard.
Updates Solution
After the planned deployment of System Center 2012 R2, Northwind Traders plans to manage updates from
System Center 2012 R2 and to integrate the existing WSUS server into the System Center 2012 R2
infrastructure.

DRAG DROP
You need to configure the environment to meet the data protection requirements.You deploy NWT-DPM01 and configure NWT-DPM01 to back up the SharePoint Server 2013 infrastructure.
You then obtain a certificate for client authentication.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of
actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Select and Place:
Explanation:
From http://blogs.technet.com/b/systemcenter/archive/2014/03/16/using-azure-backup-with-dpm.aspx –
Before you can register your DPM server you need to have a Backup Vault up and running in Azure.
Now it’s time to create a certificate that must be used between your DPM server and your backup vault in
Windows Azure.
When your certificate has successfully been uploaded to your Windows Azure Backup Vault you must install
the Windows Azure Backup Agent.
I am not sure because the question asks: “configure NWT-DPM01 to back up the SharePoint Server 2013
infrastructure”.
The Sharepoint infrastructure includes servers in Perimeter Network and the doc [DOC]DPM – Download
Center – Microsoft mentions:
“Protection of perimeter network (DMZ) machines is not supported in DPM.”
The question statement also mentions:
Virtualization Infrastructure ” After the planned deployment of System Center 2012 R2, Northwind Traders plans
to move all virtual machines to four new private clouds named IT, Sales, Finance, and Corporate. Northwind
Traders also plans to virtualize all of the servers that run SharePoint Server 2013 ” So the Sharepoint FEservers will be new VMs in private cloud. Waiting for review and comments.
