T/F: You must deactivate your product key on your original installation of Tableau Server?
TRUE - what would be the impact to the customer?

What are the add-on packages called?
Data Management
Server Management

What creates distance-based boundaries around point locations?
BUFFER()
Followup: where might it be useful for a customer?

Before transferring information, what do you need to do on the new computer?
1. activate your license
2. configure initial settings
3. create your admin user
200
What do the following stand for: 1) SSO? 2) SAML? 3) OAuth?
1. Single Sign On
2. Security Markup Assertion Language
3. Open-standard Authorization and/or Open Authorization

What are the three branches of the Tableau Blueprint?
Agility Proficiency Community
200
________, _________, ________ for self service analytics at scale.
Trust, visibility, and governance.

What has been on the wish list of customers for a very long time that is finally dropping in 2020.1? Hint: If the data chances, you won't have to manually recreate the potential domain names.
Dynamic Parameters.
Why is this important for a customer use case? What performance implications might it have for a workbook (a historical pushback the product team had to the feature request)?
300
How many times can you reactivate the Tableau Server key and what are the limitations, if any?
3, 1 production environment per TS key
300
What are the two versions of SAML?
Service Provider Initiated
IdP Initiated

What are the four stages in the Tableau Blueprint Process?
Tableau Blueprint Process
1. Discover
Gather inputs to understand your organizations needs and shape your approach
2. Govern
Define the controls, roles, and repeatable processes to support your strategy
3. Deploy
Install and configure software, educate users, and enable communications
4. Evolve
Monitor and measure your program, engage users, and drive change with data
300
What does it mean to have concurrency (Hint: See Technical Licensing Training)?
Tableau interprets concurrency to mean the number of times a license may be active on multiple machines at the same time.
- DT = 2 activations
- Server = 3 license activations running sim. with only one production server
Followup question: Why does this matter to customers?

What are the performance implications of Viz Animations upon initial release of the product?
None, since they are off by default.
400
What 2020.1 feature might ease the backup process and why?
400
What are two levels of SAML configuration possible for Server and what are their use cases?
Site specific, server wide.
Use cases may include: embedded deployment where internal users are on the server and clients are broken out into sites (with their own SAML vendors, different SAML vendors -- org may not like to use one vendor to avoid monopoly on prices for business functions)

Where can I find the following resource:

What are the three technical support program levels for customers AND what are the tiers of support cases (from memory)?
Standard, Extended, Premium
P1 - Critical
P2 - High
P3 - Medium
P4 - Low

Name three things that might impact perceived performance implications for Viz Animations?
Beyond quantitative performance measurements, there's also perceived performance: how well our users perceive animations (and Tableau) are running based on easily noticeable factors like frame rate (FPS).
Our users' perceived performance (e.g. FPS) is dependent on factors like device type (desktop or mobile), web browser, hardware configuration, and available system resources. Someone with a laptop under high system load may see choppier animations until they free up resources. However, in our testing we have not observed degraded performance on older machines, including older mobile devices.

What information is preserved in a site backup? What is not?
Preserved: workbooks, projects, data sources, and users. This includes permissions. Users’ custom views are preserved but custom URLs might break.
Not preserved:
Usage data, which appears in the site’s administrative views, is not preserved. For example, view and data source counts, user actions, and performance data.
Backgrounder jobs that are in-progress while a site is being exported, will not be exported and will not show up on the new site once the import is complete.
OAuth access tokens embedded in data connections are reset. For those data sources, you will need to edit the connections and re-authenticate to the underlying data.

What are the two scenarios for user management with Active Directory and what is the common action needed for both routes to fully complete the removal of the user?
Deleting/disabling users in Active Directory
removing users from synchronized groups in Active Directory
In both instances, to remove a user from Tableau Server, the server administrator must delete the user from the Server Users page in Tableau Server.

What are the key tech spec changes in 2020.1?
No Windows 2008 & Windows 7.
No longer specify that all nodes must be installed on the same subnet. Followup question: what is still a potential concern if distributed across multiple subnets?
Latency
