Question

You have a three-node failover cluster. You need to run pre-scripts and post-scripts when Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) runs. The solution must minimize administrative effort. What should you use?

Options

  • AScheduled tasks
  • BRun profiles
  • CAzure Functions
  • DWindows Server Update Serveries (WSUS)

Explanation

To run pre-scripts and post-scripts during Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) with minimal administrative effort, you should use CAU's built-in run profiles feature.

Common mistakes.

  • A. While scheduled tasks can run scripts, integrating them with CAU for pre/post script execution requires more manual configuration and coordination than using CAU's native run profiles, thus not minimizing administrative effort.
  • C. Azure Functions are cloud-based serverless compute services and are not directly integrated into the on-premises Cluster-Aware Updating process for running scripts on cluster nodes without significant custom development.
  • D. Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) manages and distributes updates to servers, including those used by CAU, but it does not provide functionality for defining or executing pre-scripts or post-scripts within the CAU workflow.
