Svr 16 and deduplication support after build 1709

---

Riddle me this batman, if you were taking a Microsoft exam for Server 2016 and ran across a question that asked about ReFS and deduplication support, how would you answer? Looks like after svr 16 build 1709, this is actually supported. Whereas it used to only be supported on NTFS.

Adam,
I know this can be tricky, I've never seen an exam update pattern and I don't know how often they are updated. Personally, I look at the objective update notes to compare it with a feature release date. I've came across several outdated questions on Microsoft exams and I answer them based on the old info depending on the objective update date that can be found on the exam overview page from Microsoft. If I see that they have recently updated them I answer with the new answer.

Cherokee

Adam,

Just a quick thought to add on to the great advice that Cherokee already gave you. Microsoft is notorious for asking about versioning items as part of their exam questions. As a result, in scenarios such as this, and many others, they are often asking to see if you have kept up with the changes or the version specific functionality/support.

Tricky indeed. :)

Cheers,

Adam

Thanks Adam and Cherokee... So the exam objectives are here? I am looking at taking the 70-743 upgrade exam tomorrow morning.

The only thing I found was a November 2018 update that appears the Nano feature is redacted from the exam.. Not sure I understand why, but....

Adam,

Nano has been removed from the exams across the board in favor a focus on containers. :)

Good Luck !!!
