QUESTION 86
You need to implement a notification solution to meet the technical requirements.
What should you create from Operations Manager? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)
A. Two channels and one subscriber
B. One channel and one Subscriber
C. One channel and two subscribers
D. Two channels and two subscribers
Answer: A
Explanation:
You need two channels, one for e-mail one for SMS
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2012/04/28/opsmgr-2012-configure-notifications.aspx
I think the problem is, are there two administrator groups, one for each department? If there is, you need at least two subscribers if not, you can do with one.
Since it is not explicitly stated that there are two admin groups, I would go for a single admin group. So then it would be answer A.

Case Study 2: Contoso Ltd (Question 89 – Question 99)
Overview
Contoso, Ltd. is a manufacturing company that has 3,000 users.
Contoso has a data center in Toronto and 20 offices across Canada.
The offices connect to each other by using a WAN link.
Each office connects directly to the Internet.
Existing Environment
Active Directory Environment
The network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains a single domain. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2012. All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2.
Each office contains three domain controllers. Each office is configured as an Active Directory site.
System Center 2012 Infrastructure
Contoso has a System Center 2012 infrastructure that contains 11 servers.
The servers are configured as shown in the following table.
Contoso has a private cloud named Cloud1.
Cloud1 is managed by using VMM.
The following applications run in Cloud1:
– Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
– Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010
– A custom manufacturing application named App1
The Hyper-V hosts are managed by using VMM. TOR-H01 and TOR-H02 are nodes in a failover cluster.
The switches that are part of the network fabric are from various manufacturers and are managed by using SNMPv3.
App1
An application named App1 is deployed from a VMM service template that consists of one front-end web server and one back-end database server. App1 processes credit card information.
The instance of App1 running in the data center uses two virtual machines named VM1 and VM2.
TOR-HOI hosts VM1 and VM2.
App1 is managed by using a custom management pack named MP1. The management pack used to monitor App1 contains a distributed application diagram named App1DAD.
The service level agreement (SLA) for App1 states that App1 must be available 99 percent of the time.
Problem Statements
Contoso identifies the following issues:
– Currently, all Operations Manager alerts are sent by email only. Database administrators require alerts to be sent by text message. The cell phone numbers of the database administrators are already configured in Operations Manager.
– Administrators report that the processor performance counters for the Hyper-V hosts display values that are lower than the actual load on the hosts.
Requirements
Business Goals
Contoso wants to minimize hardware and software costs, whenever possible.
Planned Changes
Contoso plans to add a new web server to the Appl service template. Traffic to the new web server will be load balanced with the existing web server by using a hardware load balancer.
Technical Requirements
Contoso identifies the following technical requirements for the planned deployment:
– Automatically apply software updates issued by Microsoft to all of the Hyper-V hosts.
– Automatically assign incidents to administrators when a Configuration Manager service fails.
– Ensure that the Exchange Server administrators can request that new virtual machines be added to the Exchange Server organization by using Internet Explorer.
– Monitor the uptime of all the Hyper-V hosts and all the virtual machines by using Operations Manager and VMM. Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO)-enabled management packs will be used.
– Ensure that users have a self-service portal that provides them with the ability to back up individual virtual machines. Users must receive an email message confirming that the backup is complete.
– Ensure that database administrators are alerted by a text message when an error occurs on a server that they manage. The text messages should be delivered regardless of the current network conditions.
– Network administrators report that they currently use different tools to monitor the port status on the switches. The network administrators want to manage all of the switches by using Operations Manager.
App1 Requirements
Contoso identifies the following requirements for App1:
– Create an object in the App1 management pack to track the SLA.
– Ensure that multiple monitoring thresholds can be used for different instances of Appl.
– Ensure that App1 complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
QUESTION 89
Hotspot Question
You need to recommend which configurations must be performed to meet the uptime monitoring requirements for the Hyper-V hosts and the virtual machines.
You install an Operations Manager agent on each Hyper-V host and each virtual machine.
On which server or servers should you perform each action? (To answer, select the appropriate server or servers for each action in the answer area.)
Answer: 
Explanation:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh882396.aspx
QUESTION 90
Drag and Drop Questions
You need to prepare the environment to support the planned changes for App1.
In which order should you perform the actions? (To answer, move all of the actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
Answer: 
Explanation:
Note:
*(box 1) When you create a static IP address pool for a VM network, VMM can assign static IP addresses to Windows-based virtual machines (running on any supported hypervisor platform) that use the VM network. By using static IP address pools, IP address management for the virtual environment is brought within the scope of the VMM administrator.
* (Box 2, Box 3) Prerequisite for adding a Hardware Load balancer include:
You must obtain the load balancer provider from the load balancer vendor, and install the provider on the VMM management server.
* Setting the load balancer affinity enables you to provide some control over which load balancer will be used for a service. This is based on logical network information. VMM uses this information to determine the valid static IP address pools that are accessible from both the load balancer and the host group that the service tier will be deployed to.
* By adding load balancers to VMM management and by creating associated virtual IP templates (VIP templates), users who create services can automatically provision load balancers when they create and deploy a service.
* (box 4) A VIP template contains load-balancer-related configuration settings for a specific type of network traffic. For example, you can create a template that specifies the load-balancing behavior for HTTPS traffic on a specific load balancer by manufacturer and model.
* (box 5) A load balancer must be configured before you deploy a service. After a service is deployed, you cannot add a load balancer by updating the service.

B. The MAC address
C. The management credentials
D. The SNMP community string
Answer: AC
Explanation:
A.The IP address
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh278846.aspx
To create a network devices discovery rule, you need the following information:
The IP address or FQDN of each device that you want to discover and monitor.
It are SNMP v3 devices. So you need credentials to discover them.
QUESTION 99
You need to recommend a solution to meet the alerts requirement for the database administrators.
What should you recommend?
A. Install a cellular modem on TOR-OM1. Create a subscription and a notification channel.
B. Install a cellular modem on TOR-CM1. Create a subscription and a notification channel.
C. Install a cellular modem on TOR-OM1. Create a monitor and a subscriber.
D. Install a cellular modem on TOR-CM1. Create a monitor and a subscriber.
Answer: A
Explanation:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212725.aspx
A notification requires the following elements:
A Run As account that provides credentials to the Notification Account Run As profile.
A notification channel which defines the format for the notification and the method by which the notification is sent.
A notification subscriber which defines the recipients and the schedule for sending notifications to the subscriber.
A notification subscription which defines the criteria for sending a notification, the channel to be used, and the subscribers to receive the notification.
