Windows Server 1.1 : QCM Windows Server 2019

This video closes the first section by presenting the Windows Server 2019 quiz. The goal is to walk you through how the quiz works and how you should approach the questions; the link to the quiz itself is provided under the video.

The quiz revisits the topics covered so far. You will see questions on Server Core (and the fact that it has no graphical interface), on the parameters used to retrieve information, on the PowerShell file extension, on the components of a hardware configuration (CPU, disk space, RAM), on default authentication methods, on the framework PowerShell is built upon (.NET) and on the recommended editors. The questions are mandatory: you must answer all of them to obtain a score.

How to approach the questions

• Server Core has no GUI — only a command-line interface.
• PowerShell scripts use the .ps1 extension.
• PowerShell is built on the .NET framework.
• Notepad and Notepad++ are not recommended editors — the recommended choices are the PowerShell ISE and dedicated environments.
• PowerShell commands follow the Verb-Noun form (e.g. Get-Process, New-VpnConnection).

The presenter deliberately does not display the correct answers in the video so that you can take the quiz yourself, validate what you have learned and check your score. The aim is to confirm that the material covered in this first section has really sunk in before moving on to the next section.
