https://xcerts.com 33
 AZ-104

Note:
Each directory is given a single top-level management group called the "Root" management
group. This root management group is built into the hierarchy to have all management groups
and subscriptions fold up to it. This root management group allows for global policies and Azure
role assignments to be applied at the directory level. The Azure AD Global Administrator needs
to elevate themselves to the User Access Administrator role of this root group initially. After
elevating access, the administrator can assign any Azure role to other directory users or groups
to manage the hierarchy. As administrator, you can assign your own account as owner of the
root management group.

Geo-redundant storage (GRS): Cross-regional replication to protect against region-wide
unavailability.

Incorrect Answers:
Locally-redundant storage (LRS): A simple, low-cost replication strategy. Data is replicated
within a single storage scale unit.

Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS): Cross-regional replication with read access to

the replica. RA- GRS provides read-only access to the data in the secondary location, in
addition to geo-replication across two regions, but is more expensive compared to GRS.

Explanation:
Alerts in Azure Monitor can identify important information in your Log Analytics repository. They
are created by alert rules that automatically run log searches at regular intervals, and if results
of the log search match particular criteria, then an alert record is created and it can be
configured to perform an automated response.

The Log Analytics agent collects monitoring data from the guest operating system and
workloads of virtual machines in Azure, other cloud providers, and on-premises. It collects data
into a Log Analytics workspace.

QUESTION: 25
You create an App Service plan named Plan1 and an Azure web app named webapp1. You
discover that the option to create a staging slot is unavailable.
You need to create a staging slot for Plan1. What should you do first?

A. From Plan1, scale up the App Service plan

B. From webapp1, modify the Application settings
C. From webapp1, add a custom domain
D. From Plan1, scale out the App Service plan

Answer(s): A

Explanation:
The app must be running in the Standard, Premium, or Isolated tier in order for you to enable
multiple deployment slots.

If the app isn't already in the Standard, Premium, or Isolated tier, you receive a message that
indicates the supported tiers for enabling staged publishing. At this point, you have the option to
select Upgrade and go to the Scale tab of your app before continuing.

Scale up: Get more CPU, memory, disk space, and extra features like dedicated virtual
machines (VMs), custom domains and certificates, staging slots, autoscaling, and more.

Incorrect:
Scale out: Increase the number of VM instances that run your app. You can scale out to as
many as 30 instances

QUESTION: 26
You plan to move a distributed on-premises app named App1 to an Azure subscription. After the
planned move, App1 will be hosted on several Azure virtual machines.
You need to ensure that App1 always runs on at least eight virtual machines during planned
Azure maintenance. What should you create?

A. one virtual machine scale set that has 10 virtual machines instances
B. one Availability Set that has three fault domains and one update domain
C. one Availability Set that has 10 update domains and one fault domain

https://xcerts.com 140
 AZ-104

D. one virtual machine scale set that has 12 virtual machines instances

Answer(s): C

Explanation:
An update domain is a logical group of underlying hardware that can undergo maintenance or
be rebooted at the same time. As you create VMs within an availability set, the Azure platform
automatically distributes your

VMs across these update domains. This approach ensures that at least one instance of your
application always remains running as the Azure platform undergoes periodic maintenance.

QUESTION: 1
You discover that VM3 does NOT meet the technical requirements. You need to verify whether
the issue relates to the NSGs.
What should you use?

A. Diagram in VNet1
B. Diagnostic settings in Azure Monitor
C. Diagnose and solve problems in Traffic Manager profiles
D. The security recommendations in Azure Advisor
E. IP flow verify in Azure Network Watcher

Answer(s): E

Explanation:
Scenario: Contoso must meet technical requirements including:
Ensure that VM3 can establish outbound connections over TCP port 8080 to the applications
servers in the Montreal office.

IP flow verify checks if a packet is allowed or denied to or from a virtual machine. The
information consists of direction, protocol, local IP, remote IP, local port, and remote port. If the
packet is denied by a security group, the name of the rule that denied the packet is returned.
While any source or destination IP can be chosen, IP flow verify helps administrators quickly
diagnose connectivity issues from or to the internet and from or to the on-premises environment.

QUESTION: 1
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 a computer named Computer1 that has a point-to-site VPN connection to an Azure
virtual network named VNet1. The point-to-site connection uses a self-signed certificate.

From Azure, you download and install the VPN client configuration package on a computer
named Computer2. You need to ensure that you can establish a point-to-site VPN connection to
VNet1 from Computer2.

Solution: You modify the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication policies. Does this
meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No

Answer(s): B

Explanation:
Instead export the client certificate from Computer1 and install the certificate on Computer2.

Note:
Each client computer that connects to a VNet using Point-to-Site must have a client certificate
installed. You generate a client certificate from the self-signed root certificate, and then export
and install the client certificate. If the client certificate is not installed, authentication fails.

fails. You need to establish a Remote Desktop connection to VM1.
What should you do first?

A. Change the priority of the RDP rule

B. Attach a network interface
C. Delete the DenyAllInBound rule
D. Start VM1

Answer(s): D

Explanation:
Incorrect Answers:
A: Rules are processed in priority order, with lower numbers processed before higher numbers,
because lower numbers have higher priority. Once traffic matches a rule, processing stops.
RDP already has the lowest number and thus the highest priority.
B: The network interface has already been added to VM. C: The Outbound rules are fine.

QUESTION: 14
You have two Azure virtual networks named VNet1 and VNet2. VNet1 contains an Azure virtual
machine named VM1. VNet2 contains an Azure virtual machine named VM2.
VM1 hosts a frontend application that connects to VM2 to retrieve data.
Users report that the frontend application is slower than usual.
You need to view the average round-trip time (RTT) of the packets from VM1 to VM2.
Which Azure Network Watcher feature should you use?

A. IP flow verify
B. Connection troubleshoot
C. Connection monitor
D. NSG flow logs

Answer(s): C

Explanation:
The connection monitor capability monitors communication at a regular interval and informs you
of reachability, latency, and network topology changes between the VM and the endpoint

Incorrect Answers:
A: The IP flow verify capability enables you to specify a source and destination IPv4 address,
port, protocol (TCP or UDP), and traffic direction (inbound or outbound). IP flow verify then tests
the communication and informs you if the connection succeeds or fails. If the connection fails, IP
flow verify tells you which security rule allowed or denied the communication, so that you can
resolve the problem.

B: The connection troubleshoot capability enables you to test a connection between a VM and
another VM, an FQDN, a URI, or an IPv4 address. The test returns similar information returned
when using the connection monitor capability, but tests the connection at a point in time, rather
than monitoring it over time, as connection monitor does.

D: The NSG flow log capability allows you to log the source and destination IP address, port,
protocol, and whether traffic was allowed or denied by an NSG.

QUESTION: 15
You have an Azure subscription that contains a policy-based virtual network gateway named
GW1 and a virtual network named VNet1.

You need to ensure that you can configure a point-to-site connection from an on-premises
computer to VNet1. Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part
of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

A. Add a service endpoint to VNet1

B. Reset GW1
C. Create a route-based virtual network gateway
D. Add a connection to GW1
E. Delete GW1
F. Add a public IP address space to VNet1

Answer(s): C, E

Explanation:
C: A VPN gateway is used when creating a VPN connection to your on-premises network.
Route-based VPN devices use any-to-any (wildcard) traffic selectors, and let routing/forwarding
tables direct traffic to different IPsec tunnels. It is typically built on router platforms where each
IPsec tunnel is modeled as a network interface or VTI (virtual tunnel interface).

E: Policy-based VPN devices use the combinations of prefixes from both networks to define
how traffic is encrypted/decrypted through IPsec tunnels. It is typically built on firewall devices
that perform packet filtering. IPsec tunnel encryption and decryption are added to the packet
filtering and processing engine.

Incorrect Answers:
F: Point-to-Site connections do not require a VPN device or a public-facing IP address.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:
IP forwarding enables the virtual machine a network interface is attached to:

• Receive network traffic not destined for one of the IP addresses assigned to any of the
IP configurations assigned to the network interface.
• Send network traffic with a different source IP address than the one assigned to one of a
network interface's IP configurations.

The setting must be enabled for every network interface that is attached to the virtual machine
that receives traffic that the virtual machine needs to forward. A virtual machine can forward
traffic whether it has multiple network interfaces or a single network interface attached to it.

Box 1: Yes
The routing table allows connections from VM3 to VM1 and VM2. And as IP forwarding is
enabled on VM3, VM3 can connect to VM1.

Box 2: No
VM3, which has IP forwarding, must be turned on, in order for VM2 to connect to VM1.

Box 3: Yes
The routing table allows connections from VM1 and VM2 to VM3. IP forwarding on VM3 allows
VM1 to connect to VM2 via VM3.

QUESTION: 51
You have two subscriptions named Subscription1 and Subscription2. Each subscription is
associated to a different Azure AD tenant.

Subscription1 contains a virtual network named VNet1. VNet1 contains an Azure virtual
machine named VM1 and has an IP address space of 10.0.0.0/16.

https://xcerts.com 244
 AZ-104

Subscription2 contains a virtual network named VNet2. VNet2 contains an Azure virtual
machine named VM2 and has an IP address space of 10.10.0.0/24.

You need to connect VNet1 to VNet2. What should you do first?

A. Move VM1 to Subscription2.

B. Move VNet1 to Subscription2.
C. Modify the IP address space of VNet2.
D. Provision virtual network gateways.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:
The virtual networks can be in the same or different regions, and from the same or different
subscriptions. When connecting VNets from different subscriptions, the subscriptions do not
need to be associated with the same Active Directory tenant.

Configuring a VNet-to-VNet connection is a good way to easily connect VNets. Connecting a

virtual network to another virtual network using the VNet-to-VNet connection type (VNet2VNet)
is similar to creating a Site-to-Site IPsec connection to an on-premises location. Both
connectivity types use a VPN gateway to provide a secure tunnel using IPsec/IKE, and both
function the same way when communicating.

The local network gateway for each VNet treats the other VNet as a local site. This lets you
specify additional address space for the local network gateway in order to route traffic.

Box 2: Yes
When using load-balancing rules with Azure Load Balancer, you need to specify health probes
to allow Load Balancer to detect the backend endpoint status. The configuration of the health
probe and probe responses determine which backend pool instances will receive new flows.
You can use health probes to detect the failure of an application on a backend endpoint. You
can also generate a custom response to a health probe and use the health probe for flow
control to manage load or planned downtime. When a health probe fails, Load Balancer will stop

Explanation:
Box 1: IP flow verify
At some point, a VM may become unable to communicate with other resources, because of a
security rule. The IP flow verify capability enables you to specify a source and destination IPv4
address, port, protocol (TCP or UDP), and traffic direction (inbound or outbound). IP flow verify
then tests the communication and informs you if the connection succeeds or fails. If the
connection fails, IP flow verify tells you which.

Box 2: Connection troubleshoot

Diagnose outbound connections from a VM: The connection troubleshoot capability enables you
to test a connection between a VM and another VM, an FQDN, a URI, or an IPv4 address. The
test returns similar information returned when using the connection monitor capability, but tests
the connection at a point in time, rather than monitoring it over time, as connection monitor
does. Learn more about how to troubleshoot connections using connection-troubleshoot.

IP addresses and storage accounts can be moved. Virtual networks cannot be moved.
There is no lock on RG1.

Box 2: None
There is a delete lock on RG2.

Note: When you apply a lock at a parent scope, all resources within that scope inherit the same
lock. Even resources you add later inherit the lock from the parent. The most restrictive lock in
the inheritance takes precedence.

CanNotDelete means authorized users can still read and modify a resource, but they can't
delete the resource. ReadOnly means authorized users can read a resource, but they can't
delete or update the resource. Applying this lock is similar to restricting all authorized users to
the permissions granted by the Reader role.

You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1.
The network interface for VM1 is configured as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit tab.)

You deploy a web server on VM1, and then create a secure website that is accessible by using
the HTTPS protocol. VM1 is used as a web server only.

You need to ensure that users can connect to the website from the Internet. What should you
do?

A. Modify the protocol of Rule4

B. Delete Rule1
C. For Rule5, change the Action to Allow and change the priority to 401
D. Create a new inbound rule that allows TCP protocol 443 and configure the rule to have a
priority of 501.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

https://xcerts.com 268
 AZ-104

HTTPS uses port 443.

Rule2, with priority 500, denies HTTPS traffic.
Rule5, with priority changed from 2000 to 401, would allow HTTPS traffic.

Note: Priority is a number between 100 and 4096. Rules are processed in priority order, with
lower numbers processed before higher numbers, because lower numbers have higher priority.
Once traffic matches a rule, processing stops. As a result, any rules that exist with lower
priorities (higher numbers) that have the same attributes as rules with higher priorities are not
processed.

Note:
There are several versions of this question in the exam. The question has two possible correct
answers:
1. Change the priority of Rule3 to 450.
2. For Rule5, change the Action to Allow and change the priority to 401.

Other incorrect answer options you may see on the exam include the following:
• Modify the action of Rule1.
• Change the priority of Rule6 to 100.
• For Rule4, change the protocol from UDP to Any.

QUESTION: 71
You have an Azure subscription.

You plan to deploy an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster to support an app named App1.
On-premises clients connect to App1 by using the IP address of the pod.

For the AKS cluster, you need to choose a network type that will support App1. What should
you choose?

A. kubenet
B. Azure Container Networking Interface (CNI)
C. Hybrid Connection endpoints
D. Azure Private Link

Answer(s): B

Explanation:
With Azure CNI, every pod gets an IP address from the subnet and can be accessed directly.
These IP addresses must be unique across your network space.

Incorrect Answers:
A: The kubenet networking option is the default configuration for AKS cluster creation. With
kubenet, nodes get an IP address from the Azure virtual network subnet. Pods receive an IP
address from a logically different address space to the Azure virtual network subnet of the
nodes. Network address translation (NAT) is then configured so that the pods can reach
resources on the Azure virtual network.
C, D: AKS only supports Kubenet networking and Azure Container Networking Interface (CNI)
networking

Box 1: be created in the same availability set or virtual machine scale set.
The Basic tier is quite restrictive. A load balancer is restricted to a single availability set, virtual
machine scale set, or a single machine.

Box 2: be connected to the same virtual network

The Standard tier can span any virtual machine in a single virtual network, including blends of
scale sets, availability sets, and machines.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:
Box 1: 4
Two public IP addresses in the on-premises data center, and two public IP addresses in the

Every Azure VPN gateway consists of two instances in an active-standby configuration. For any
planned maintenance or unplanned disruption that happens to the active instance, the standby
instance would take over (failover) automatically, and resume the S2S VPN or VNet-to-VNet
connections.

Explanation:
Box 1: Create a virtual network gateway and a local network gateway.
Azure VPN gateway. The VPN gateway service enables you to connect the VNet to the on-
premises network through a VPN appliance. For more information, see Connect an on-premises
network to a Microsoft Azure virtual network. The VPN gateway includes the following elements:

https://xcerts.com 304
 AZ-104

Virtual network gateway. A resource that provides a virtual VPN appliance for the VNet. It is
responsible for routing traffic from the on-premises network to the VNet.
Local network gateway. An abstraction of the on-premises VPN appliance. Network traffic from
the cloud application to the on-premises network is routed through this gateway.
Connection. The connection has properties that specify the connection type (IPSec) and the key
shared with the on-premises VPN appliance to encrypt traffic.
Gateway subnet. The virtual network gateway is held in its own subnet, which is subject to
various requirements, described in the Recommendations section below.

Box 2: Configure a site-to-site VPN connection

On premises create a site-to-site connection for the virtual network gateway and the local
network gateway.

Scenario: Connect the New York office to VNet1 over the Internet by using an encrypted
connection. Incorrect Answers:
Azure ExpressRoute: Established between your network and Azure, through an ExpressRoute
partner. This connection is private. Traffic does not go over the internet.

Your company has a main office in London that contains 100 client computers. Three years ago,
you migrated to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).

The company’s security policy states that all personal devices and corporate-owned devices
must be registered or joined to Azure AD.

A remote user named User1 is unable to join a personal device to Azure AD from a home
network. You verify that User1 was able to join devices to Azure AD in the past.
You need to ensure that User1 can join the device to Azure AD. What should you do?

A. Assign the User administrator role to User1.

B. From the Device settings blade, modify the Maximum number of devices per user setting.
C. Create a point-to-site VPN from the home network of User1 to Azure.
D. From the Device settings blade, modify the Users may join devices to Azure AD setting.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:
The Maximum number of devices setting enables you to select the maximum number of devices
that a user can have in Azure AD. If a user reaches this quota, they will not be able to add
additional devices until one or more of the existing devices are removed.

Incorrect Answers:
C: Azure AD Join enables users to join their devices to Active Directory from anywhere as long
as they have connectivity with the Internet.
D: The Users may join devices to Azure AD setting enables you to select the users who can join
devices to Azure AD. Options are All, Selected and None. The default is All.
