Got this question on 7/31/23. Didn't have the option to choose D and E only. I even left feedback that ReFS now supports Data Deduplication at the end of the exam. So, I just chose D only.

Answer D. ''Data Deduplication is fully supported on Storage Spaces Direct with ReFS or NTFS-formatted volumes (mirror or parity). ReFS-formatted volumes are supported starting with Windows Server 2019. Deduplication is not supported on volumes with multiple tiers.''

Data Dedup is supported starting with Server 2019 but how do we know Server 2019 is being used here? Am I missing something?

Tricky question: Introduction blog post stands that OS is not supported: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/introduction-to-data-deduplication-in-windows-server-2012/ba-p/424257 Documentation for 2012 R2 stands that is not supported: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/hh831700(v=ws.11)?redirectedfrom=MSDN#BKMK_Step1 New documentation "Data Deduplication interoperability" doesn't mention anything about the OS drive: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/data-deduplication/interop ChatGPT says that it is possible but not recommended.

Wrong. You cannot dedup the OS volume, only data volume. Thats why its called DataDedup! So many of your answers are incorrect.

Data deduplication is not supported on boot or system drives: Deduplication was built for NTFS data volumes and it does not support boot or system drives
