Exam 70-486 topic 1 question 131 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's 70-486

Question #: 131
Topic #: 1

You define a startup task in the ServiceDefinition.csdef file. The task consists of a batch file that runs a Windows PowerShell script. The script places configuration files in local storage for use in a worker role. The worker role needs this information before starting.
The worker role does not start after the startup task runs.
You need to ensure that the worker role starts.
What should you do?

A. Use environment variables based on members of the RoleEnvironment class instead of static environment variables.
B. Configure the task to use the directory specified by the TEMP environment variable.
C. Ensure the task completes with an errorlevel of 0.
D. Change the task from simple to foreground.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
Startup tasks must end with an errorlevel (or exit code) of zero for the startup process to complete. If a startup task ends with a non-zero errorlevel, the role will not start.
Note: Startup tasks are actions that are taken before your roles begin and are defined in the ServiceDefinition.csdef file by using the Task element within the
Startup element. Frequently startup tasks are batch files, but they can also be console applications, or batch files that start PowerShell scripts.
