You are evaluating the implementation of data deduplication on the planned Windows Server 2012 file servers. The planned servers will have the identical disk configurations as the current servers. You need to identify which volumes can be enabled for data deduplication.
Which volumes should you identify? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)
A . C
B . D
C . E
D . The CSV
E . DATA
Answer: C, E
Explanation:
* Scenario:
A mounted virtual hard disk (VHD) named DATA that is formatted NTFS
A simple volume named E that is formatted NTFS

It slices, it dices, and it cleans your floors!
Well, the Data Deduplication feature doesn’t do everything in this version. It is only available in certain Windows Server 2012 editions and has some limitations. Deduplication was built for
NTFS data volumes and it does not support boot or system drives and cannot be used with
Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV). We don’t support deduplicating live VMs or running SQL databases. See how to determine which volumes are candidates for deduplication on Technet.
