Question

SIMULATION SRV1 contains a virtual machine named VM1. You need attach c:\vhds\Disk1.vhdx to VM1. The solution must ensure that Disk1 can be expanded dynamically when VM1 runs. To complete this task, sign in the required computer or computers. Answer:

Step 1: Sign in to the Azure portal. Step 2: Search for and select Virtual machines. Select VM1 from the list.. Step 3: On the Virtual machine pane, select Disks. Step 4: On the Disks pane, select Create and attach a new disk. Step 5: In the drop-downs for the new disk, select attach c:\vhds\Disk1.vhdx Step 6: Specify that the disk is managed. Step 7: Select Save to create and attach the new data disk to the VM. Reference:

Why each option

The task is to attach a local VHDX file to a Hyper-V virtual machine for dynamic expansion, but the provided solution outlines steps for attaching a managed disk in Azure.

ANtdsutil.exeCorrect

The provided steps describe attaching a managed disk to an Azure virtual machine via the Azure portal, by navigating to the VM's Disks section and selecting to create and attach a new disk, specifying the VHDX path, and saving. This is the correct procedure for Azure managed disks, though it deviates from the question's premise of attaching a local VHDX on SRV1.

BActive Directory Sites and Services

Active Directory Sites and Services is a tool for managing AD replication topology, not for attaching virtual disks to Hyper-V or Azure VMs.

CSet-DnsServer

Set-DnsServer is a PowerShell cmdlet for configuring DNS server settings, unrelated to virtual machine disk attachment.

DDNS Manager

DNS Manager is a graphical tool for managing DNS, which has no functionality for virtual machine disk operations.
