                              Question #2

                              Your network environment includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS) and Analysis Services (SSAS).
                              Users report that the data in their reports is out of date.
                              You need to view the status of the data warehouse. You also need to view the analysis database jobs and see when each last ran successfully.
                              What should you do?

                              • A. From the Team Foundation Server Administration Console:
                                Expand the application-tier tree.
                                Select Reporting.
                                View the Warehouse Database and Analysis Services Database status.
                              • B. From any computer on the network:
                                Browse to http: //<servername> : 8080/tfs/teamfoundation/administration/ v3.0/warehousecontrolservice.asmx
                                Invoke the GetProcessingStatus operation.
                              • C. From any computer on the network:
                                Use SQL Server Management Studio.
                                Connect to the SQL server that hosts the TFS databases.
                                Query the TFS configuration database's _LastUpdatedTime table.
                              • D. From the TFS server:
                                Browse to http : //<servername> : 8080/tfs/teamfoundation/administration/ v3.0/warehousecontrolservice.asmx
                                Invoke the GetProcessingStatus operation.

                              The data tier has been configured to run Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) in SharePoint Integrated Mode.
                              You need to configure the TFS environment to support the addition of SSRS Reports.
                              Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

                              • A. Log on to the data-tier server and rebuild the TFS data warehouse by using the TFSConfig.exe Rebuild Warehouse /all I ReportingDataSourcePassword : <password> command.

                              Your client's network environment includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server installed at its main office.
                              The network administrator at a remote office reports high WAN utilization. Users at the remote office report slow response times when downloading source code.
                              You need to minimize WAN utilization and improve the response times for downloading source code.
                              What should you do?

                              • A. Install TFS Proxy at the remote site. Configure TFS Proxy to point to the TFS Server and configure each user's Visual Studio Source Control to use the proxy server for file downloads.
