B. Set the backup preference of HaContoso to Secondary only. Set the backup priority of Server02/HA to 20. Set the backup priority of Server03/HA to 10. Jul 13, 2017
The full question is:
You create an availability group named HaContoso that has replicas named Server01/HA, Server02/HA, and
Server03/HA.
Currently, Server01l/HA is the primary replica.
You need to ensure that the following requirements are met:
Backup operations occur on Server02/HA.
If Server02/HA is unavailable, backup operations occur on Server03/HA.
Backup operations do not occur on Server01/HA.

You use a contained database named ContosoDb within a domain.
You need to create a user who can log on to the ContosoDb database. You also need to
ensure that you can port the database to different database servers within the domain
without additional user account configurations.
Which type of user should you create?
A. User mapped to a certificate B. SQL user without login C. Domain user D. SQL user with login
Answer: C
it is a user without a SQL Login since it is a contained db, but the question states you are working on a Domain network, and that you need to ensure you can port the db to other db servers. So, best way would be to use a domain user which can be used to log in the db where ever you moved the db in the domain. Aug 24, 2017
C. Domain user Jul 13, 2017
shouldn't the answer for this question is SQL User Without Login?? Jun 29, 2017

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 environment that contains a production SQL
Server 2005 instance named SQL2005 and a development SQL Server 2012 instance
named SQL2012.
The development team develops a new application that uses the SQL Server 2012
functionality. You are planning to migrate a database from SQL2005 to SQL2012 so that
the development team can test their new application.
You need to migrate the database without affecting the production environment.
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.)
Answer:
Shouldn't this be....
- Perform a full backup on SQL2005
- Perform a log backup on SQL2005
- Restore the database backup and transaction log backup on SQL2012
- Change the compatibility level of the database to 110 on SQL2012
If not, please explain why.....thanks. Nov 28, 2017
There was no t-log backup taken. So how can it be restored in the second step?
Wouldn't the following answers make more sense?
1) Perform a VSS backup
2) Restore the VSS backup
3) Change compatibility level Sep 25, 2017
Perform a full database on SQL2005.
Restore the database backup and transaction log backup on SQL2012
Change the compatibility level of the database to 110 on SQL2012 Jul 12, 2017

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server. One of the databases on the server
supports a highly active OLTP application.
Users report abnormally long wait times when they submit data into the application.
You need to identify which queries are taking longer than 1 second to run over an extended
period of time.
What should you do?
A. use SQL Profiler to trace all queries that are processing on the server. Filter queries that have a Duration value of more than 1,000. B. Use sp_configure to set a value for blocked process threshold. Create an extended event session. C. Use the Job Activity monitor to review all processes that are actively running. Review the Job History to find out the duration of each step. D. Run the sp_who command from a query window. E. Run the DBCC TRACEON 1222 command from a query window and review the SQL Server event log.

it is definately A Nov 3, 2017
B Oct 24, 2017
I also think its A. Oct 5, 2017
Yes, I second to CodeXploit, answer should be "A" Aug 31, 2017
Verfied the SQL Profiler and DBCC answers are correct. However, while the Profiler will show this information, the best practice with Profiler is to use it short-term. The question specifically states "over an extended period of time". That means Profiler wouldn't be the best tool for this scenario. Therefore I believe DBCC (E) would be the best answer. Jul 17, 2017
The answer is A. The trace flag 1222 tracks deadlocks. And the duration is also given. Jul 10, 2017
the correct answer is A people. Jun 29, 2017
I agree A is the correct answer. We can Filter queries that have a Duration value of more than 1,000(1 sec) using with the SQL profiler. Jun 28, 2017
I think Answer is A, Traceon is used to get deadlock information Jun 17, 2017
I think the right answer ia A. The trace flag 1222 tracks deadlocks... Jun 5, 2017

You need to know if User1 adds logins to securityadmin.
Which server-level audit action group should you use?
A. SERVER_STATE_CHANGE_GROUP B. SERVER_PRINCIPAL_IMPERSONATION_GROUP C. SUCCESSFUL_LOGIN_GROUP D. SERVER_ROLE_MEMBER_CHANGE_GROUP
Answer: D Explanation: Explanation/Reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280663.aspx
SERVER_STATE_CHANGE_GROUP
This event is raised when the SQL Server service state is modified. Equivalent to the Audit
Server Starts and Stops Event Class.
SERVER_PRINCIPAL_IMPERSONATION_GROUP
This event is raised when there is an impersonation within server scope, such as
EXECUTE AS <login>.
Equivalent to the Audit Server Principal Impersonation Event Class.
SUCCESSFUL_LOGIN_GROUP Indicates that a principal has successfully logged in to
SQL Server. Events in this class are raised by new connections or by connections that are
reused from a connection pool. Equivalent to the Audit Login Event Class.
SERVER_ROLE_MEMBER_CHANGE_GROUP
This event is raised whenever a login is added or removed from a fixed server role. This
event is raised for the sp_addsrvrolemember and sp_dropsrvrolemember stored
procedures. Equivalent to the Audit Add Login to Server Role Event Class.

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database.
All database traffic to the SQL Server must be encrypted by using secure socket layer
(SSL) certificates or the connection must be refused.
Network administrators have deployed server certificates to the Windows store of all
Windows servers on the network from a trusted Certificate Authority. This is the only
Certificate Authority allowed to distribute certificates on the network.
You enable the Force Encryption flag for the MSSQLServer protocols, but client computers
are unable to connect. They receive the following error message:
"A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred
during the pre-login handshake, (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was
issued by an authority that is not trusted.) (Microsoft SQL Server)"
You notice the following entry in the SQL Server log:
"A self-generated certificate was successfully loaded for encryption."
You need to configure SQL Server to encrypt all client traffic across the network.
You also need to ensure that client computers are able to connect to the server by using a
trusted certificate.
