Exam 70-740 topic 1 question 219 discussion

File Folder Permissions Long filenames: ReFS support name of 32768 characters, NTFS of 255 characters.

Data Deduplication cannot use in ReFs

The correct answers are: A. file and folder permissions D. long file names https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/refs/refs-overview#feature-comparison

The dedup debate is incredibly frustrating. MS really need to put more attention into the questions and be specific about what they expect. But I am going with NO DEDUP in 2016. Unless the question refers to 1709 or a newer version.

Hope this helps. Question states "You have a server that runs Windows Server 2016 Standard"

I wouls say A and D as well. Data dedup can be ignored for ReFS unless they specifically refer to 1709. Long file names doesn't stand out but it is the only other option that makes sense and it is correct.

Data Deduplication supported and available for ReFS on Windows Server 2016, version 1709 and later. ALL 740 QUESTIONS WILL BE UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT WINDOWS SERVER 2016 IS A FRESH INSTALL. Unless specifically stating Windows Server 2016 has received the 1709 update, go on the basis that this is a brand new out of the box Windows Server 2016 Edition.

I agree that A and D are correct. This question is as same as No.17 on page 60.

Dedup is only supported in the Semi Annual Servicing Channel. The regular LTSB which is being tested here does not support it. Unless the question specifically says that it's the Semi-annual channel, then Dedup is not supported.

I agree with slcc99 Window server 1709 which support ReFS De Dup is different with Windows Server 2016 https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/windowsserver/2017/10/26/faq-on-windows-server-version-1709-and-semi-annual-channel/

Hi all, Microsoft has updated the exam on March 13, 2019. This question was posted on Oct 7, 2019. For the exam, we need consider all updates till March 2019. ReFS supported deduplication in 1709 and exam updates are until 1903. It means the current exam will be tested on 1903. So ReFS supports deduplication.

I'll go for the updated one because the following Microsoft doc says that ReFS supports data deduplication: Applies to: Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server (Semi-Annual Channel) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/refs/refs-overview

Like most people here, I've been concerned about whether the exam takes into account that ReFS now supports data deduplication. And have done a search to see what I could find... This link from MS is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, because it's non specific, but read between the lines... https://trainingsupport.microsoft.com/en-us/mcp/forum/all/70-740-refs/e9289fa5-6a86-47a0-a2a4-72b78b30d002 And then this one, which essentially says that the exam blueprint is about Server 2016 v1607 https://community.infosecinstitute.com/discussion/133957/mcsa-ms-70-740-refs-and-datadeduplication So for the purpose of the exam, I will be working on the premise that deduplication isn't supported by ReFS. Good luck guys!

So, please, does ReFS support Data Deduplication or not in current/latest server 2016. versions!?

Does anyone know for sure if Microsoft updates test questions based on version changes? The attach link supports A and D https://www.howtogeek.com/311840/what-is-refs-the-resilient-file-system-on-windows/ I'm guessing the article is before the release of 1709.. Here are the version release dates https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/windows-server-release-info

I am about to take my exam, do I assume ReFS supports deduplication or not? All the other questions says not supported except this one.

A,D,E are correct answers
