Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You have an Azure subscription named Sub1.
You have an Azure Storage account named sa1 in a resource group named RG1.
Users and applications access the blob service and the file service in sa1 by using several shared access signatures (SASs) and stored access policies.
You discover that unauthorized users accessed both the file service and the blob service.
You need to revoke all access to sa1.
Solution: You regenerate the Azure storage account access keys.
Does this meet the goal?

  1. Yes
  2. No

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Generating new storage account keys will invalidate all SAS's that were based on the previous keys.

You have an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named contoso.com that contains the users shown in the following table.
Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is used in contoso.com.
In PIM, the Password Administrator role has the following settings:
-Maximum activation duration (hours): 2
-Send email notifying admins of activation: Disable
-Require incident/request ticket number during activation: Disable
-Require Azure Multi-Factor Authentication for activation: Enable
-Require approval to activate this role: Enable
-Selected approver: Group1
You assign users the Password Administrator role as shown in the following table.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:


  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:


Box 1: Yes
Active assignments don't require the member to perform any action to use the role. Members assigned as active have the privileges assigned to the role at all times.
Box 2: Yes
While Multi-Factor Authentication is disabled for User2 and the setting Require Azure Multi-Factor Authentication for activation is enabled, User2 can request the role but will need to enable MFA to use the role.
Note: Eligible assignments require the member of the role to perform an action to use the role. Actions might include performing a multi-factor authentication
(MFA) check, providing a business justification, or requesting approval from designated approvers.
Box 3: No
User3 is Group1, which is a Selected Approver Group, however, self-approval is not allowed and someone else from group is required to approve the request.

You have a hybrid configuration of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) that has Single Sign-On (SSO) enabled. You have an Azure SQL Database instance that is configured to support Azure AD authentication.
Database developers must connect to the database instance from the domain joined device and authenticate by using their on-premises Active Directory account.
You need to ensure that developers can connect to the instance by using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. The solution must minimize authentication prompts.
Which authentication method should you recommend?

  1. Active Directory - Password
  2. Active Directory - Universal with MFA support
  3. SQL Server Authentication
  4. Active Directory - Integrated

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Active Directory - Integrated
Azure Active Directory Authentication is a mechanism of connecting to Microsoft Azure SQL Database by using identities in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
Use this method for connecting to SQL Database if you are logged in to Windows using your Azure Active Directory credentials from a federated domain.

You plan to use Azure Resource Manager templates to perform multiple deployments of identically configured Azure virtual machines. The password for the administrator account of each deployment is stored as a secret in different Azure key vaults.
You need to identify a method to dynamically construct a resource ID that will designate the key vault containing the appropriate secret during each deployment.
The name of the key vault and the name of the secret will be provided as inline parameters.
What should you use to construct the resource ID?

  1. a key vault access policy
  2. a linked template
  3. a parameters file
  4. an automation account

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

You reference the key vault in the parameter file, not the template. The following image shows how the parameter file references the secret and passes that value to the template.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported) (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You create a new Azure subscription that is associated to a new Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant.
You create one active conditional access policy named Portal Policy. Portal Policy is used to provide access to the Microsoft Azure Management cloud app.
The Conditions settings for Portal Policy are configured as shown in the Conditions exhibit. (Click the Conditions tab.)
The Grant settings for Portal Policy are configured as shown in the Grant exhibit. (Click the Grant tab.)
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:


  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:


Box 1: Yes
The Contoso location is included in the policy and MFA is required.
Box 2: No
The policy applies to the Azure portal and Azure management endpoints. The policy does not apply to web services host in Azure.
Box 3: No
The policy applies only to users in the Contoso location. The policy does not apply to users external to the Contoso location.
