To create a clustered file server, which tool could you use?

• A. Failover Cluster Manager
• B. Windows PowerShell
• C. Server Manager
• D. Hyper-V Manager

Answer: (A)

Failover Cluster Manager is the built-in management console designed specifically for Windows Server Failover Clustering. It provides the guided workflows to create a new cluster, add nodes, and set up clustered roles, including a file server. Using this tool, you can provision a clustered file server, attach the appropriate disk resources, and configure high-availability SMB shares so the file server stays available across node failures. While PowerShell can also perform these tasks with the right cmdlets, Failover Cluster Manager offers the most straightforward, direct path to creating and managing a clustered file server.
