Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two servers named Server1 and Server2.
Server1 contains a disk named Disk2. Disk2 contains a folder named UserData. UserData is shared to the Domain Users group. Disk2 is configured for deduplication. Server1 is protected by using Azure Backup.
Server1 fails.
You connect Disk2 to Server2.
You need to ensure that you can access all the files on Disk2 as quickly as possible.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/data-deduplication/overviewThe scenario described in the question involves two servers, Server1 and Server2, both of which are part of an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com. Server1 has a disk named Disk2, which contains a shared folder named UserData. The disk is configured for deduplication, and Server1 is protected by Azure Backup. Server1 fails, and Disk2 is connected to Server2. The objective is to ensure quick access to all the files on Disk2.
Option A: Create a storage pool Creating a storage pool would not directly help in achieving the objective of quickly accessing the files on Disk2. A storage pool is a collection of physical disks that can be used to create virtual disks for storage spaces. It is primarily used for increasing the capacity of storage and improving performance. However, in this scenario, the objective is to quickly access the files on Disk2, and creating a storage pool would not contribute towards that.
Option B: Restore files from Azure Backup While restoring files from Azure Backup may enable the files to be accessed, it would not necessarily ensure quick access. Azure Backup is a service that provides backup and restore capabilities for virtual machines and files, and it can be used to restore data in case of disasters or data loss. However, restoring files from backup may take time, depending on the size of the backup and the speed of the network connection. Therefore, this option is not the best choice for ensuring quick access to the files.
Option C: Install the File Server Resource Manager server role Installing the File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) server role would not directly help in achieving the objective of quickly accessing the files on Disk2. FSRM is a server role that provides various file management capabilities, such as file screening, quota management, and file classification. While FSRM can help manage the files on Disk2, it does not directly contribute towards ensuring quick access.
Option D: Install the Data Deduplication server role Installing the Data Deduplication server role on Server2 would enable it to read the deduplicated data on Disk2. Since Disk2 is already configured for deduplication, installing the Data Deduplication server role would ensure that Server2 can read the deduplicated data on Disk2 quickly. This would enable quick access to the files on Disk2, which is the objective of the scenario described in the question. Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.
