You need to resolve the issue. The solution must ensure that connections are load balanced between Server1 and Server2. What should you do in the NLB cluster?
- A.
  
  A. Modify the existing port rules.
- B.
  
  B. Modify the Cluster operation mode.
- C.
  
  C. Add the Microsoft Load Balancing/Failover Provider service to all of the network adapters.
- D.
  
  D. Add an IP address
Correct Answer
B. B. Modify the Cluster operation mode.

Explanation
To resolve the issue of web form data not being stored and requiring users to fill in the form again, the correct action to take in the NLB cluster is to modify the Cluster operation mode. By changing the cluster operation mode, the load balancing algorithm can be adjusted to evenly distribute incoming connections between Server1 and Server2. This will ensure that the workload is balanced and prevent any single server from becoming overwhelmed, thereby resolving the issue of data not being stored.

QUESTION 212 and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). The environment contains several Windows containers and several virtual machines. The WSUS deployment contains one upstream server that is located on the company’s perimeter network and several downstream servers located on the internal network. A firewall separates the upstream server from the downstream servers. You plan to deploy a human resources application to a new server named HRServer5. HRServer5 contains a FAT32-formatted data volume. The CIO of Contoso identifies the following requirements for the company’s IT department: Deploy a failover cluster to two new virtual machines. Store all application databases by using Encrypted File System (EFS). Ensure that each Windows container has a dedicated IP address assigned by a DHCP server. Produce a report that lists the processor time used by all of the processes on a server named Server1 for five hours. Encrypt all communication between the internal network and the perimeter network, including all WSUS communications. Automatically load balance the virtual machines hosted in the Hyper-V cluster when processor utilization exceeds 70 percent. Which two actions should you perform to meet the encryption requirement for WSUS? Each correct answer presents part of the solution
- A.
  
  A.Require SSL on the Inventory virtual directory.
- B.
  
  B. Require SSL on the ClientWebService virtual directory.
- C.
  
  C. Create a firewall rule to allow TCP port 443.
- D.
  
  D. Create a firewall rule to allow TCP port 8531.
Correct Answer(s)
B. B. Require SSL on the ClientWebService virtual directory.
C. C. Create a firewall rule to allow TCP port 443.

Explanation
To meet the encryption requirement for WSUS, you should perform two actions. Firstly, you should require SSL on the ClientWebService virtual directory. This ensures that all communication between the internal network and the perimeter network, including WSUS communications, is encrypted. Secondly, you should create a firewall rule to allow TCP port 443. This allows the encrypted communication to pass through the firewall. By implementing both of these actions, you can ensure that all WSUS communications are encrypted for increased security.
