QUESTION 21 Hotspot Question You have an image of Windows 10 Enterprise named Image1. Image1 has version number 1.0.0.0 of a custom, line-of-business universal app named App1. You deploy Image1 to Computer1 for a user named User1. You need to update App1 to version 1.0.0.1 on Computer1 for User1 only. What command should you run? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. Answer: Explanation: In this question, we need to update App1 to version 1.0.0.1 on Computer1 "for User1 only". The Add-AppxPackage cmdlet adds a signed app package (.appx) to a user account. To update the application, we need to use the -path parameter to specify the path to the upgraded application. Incorrect Answers: add-provisionedappxpackage would make the app available to all users, not just User1 only.

This document includes planning recommendations, configuration best practices as well as performance findings. This reference architecture has been validated against: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2, Data Center Edition (64-bit) Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Enterprise (64-bit), Service Pack 1 Pure Storage FlashArray 420 (FA-420) Purity Operating Environment 4.0.0 Although this reference architecture has been validated against Microsoft SQL Server 2012, previous versions such as SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 are supported. Goals and Objectives A key tenet with Pure Storage FlashArray is the simplicity of management and this document is intended to demonstrate how easily Microsoft SQL Server 2012 can be deployed and managed on a Pure Storage FlashArray. We will cover all the details from volume layout, storage provisioning, host connectivity, Microsoft SQL Server deployment to backup and recovery using snapshots and Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). In addition to management simplicity we will show the gains in performance for database workloads, data reduction savings and application protection using our core technologies of FlashProtect, FlashReduce and FlashRecover respectively.

Professor (S.G), Department of Computer Applications, SRM University, Kattankulathur 603202, Tamil Nadu, India 2Soma Paul, PG Student, Department of Computer Applications, SRMUniversity, Kattankulathur 603202, Tamil Nadu, India 3Mitra Mandal, Student, Department of Computer Applications, SRMUniversity, Kattankulathur 603202, Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT: Green Computing is a recent trend towards designing, building, and operating computer systems to be energy efficient. While programs such as Energy Star have been around since the early1990s, recent concerns regarding global climate change and the energy crisis have led to renewed interest in Green Computing. Data centers are significant consumers of energy – both to power the computers as well as to provide the necessary cooling. This paper proposes a new approach to reduce energy utilization in data centers. In particular, our approach relies on consolidating services dynamically onto a subset of the available servers and temporarily shutting down servers in order to conserve energy. We present initial work on a probabilistic service dispatch algorithm that aims at minimizing the number of running servers such that they suffice for meeting the quality of service required by service-level agreements. making the use of computers as energy-efficient as possible, and designing algorithms and systems for efficiency-related computer technologies. ORIGINS: In 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launched Energy Star, a voluntary labeling program that is designed to promote and recognize energy-efficiency in monitors, climate control equipment, and other technologies.
