Q1. You develop a set of Power Shell scripts that will run when you deploy new virtual machines (VMs).
You need to ensure that the scripts are executed on new VMs. You want to achieve this goal by using the least amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?
A. Create a new GPO to execute the scripts as a logon script.
B. Create a SetupComplete.cmd batch file to call the scripts after the VM starts.
C. Create a new virtual hard disk (VHD) that contains the scripts.
D. Load the scripts to a common file share accessible by the VMs.
E. Set the VMs to execute a custom script extension.
Answer: E
Explanation: After you deploy a Virtual Machine you typically need to make some changes before it’s ready to use. This is something you can do manually or you could use Remote PowerShell to automate the configuration of your VM after deployment for example.
But now there’s a third alternative available allowing you customize your VM: the CustomScript extension.
This CustomScript extension is executed by the VM Agent and it’s very straightforward: you specify which files it needs to download from your storage account and which file it needs to execute. You can even specify arguments that need to be passed to the script. The only requirement is that you execute a .ps1 file.

Q2. DRAG DROP
You manage two solutions in separate Azure subscriptions.
You need to ensure that the two solutions can communicate on a private network.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate
actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Answer:
Q3. DRAG DROP
You manage an Azure Web Site named contososite.
You download the subscription publishing credentials named Contoso-Enterprise.publishsettings.
You need to use Azure Power Shell to achieve the following:
Connect to the Contoso-Enterprise subscription.
Create a new App Setting named CustomSetting with a value of True.
Restart the website.
Which commands should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate Azure PowerShell command to the correct location in the solution. Each command may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
Answer:
Q4. You administer a DirSync server configured with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
You need to provision a user in Azure AD without waiting for the default DirSync synchronization interval.
What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
A. Restart the DirSync server.
B. Run the Start-OnlineCoexistenceSync PowerShell cmdlet.
C. Run the Enable-SyncShare PowerShell cmdlet.
D. Run the Azure AD Sync tool Configuration Wizard.
E. Replicate the Directory in Active Directory Sites and Services.
Answer: B,D
Explanation: If you don’t want to wait for the recurring synchronizations that occur every three hours, you can force directory synchronization at any time.
B: Force directory synchronization using Windows PowerShell
You can use the directory synchronization Windows PowerShell cmdlet to force synchronization. The cmdlet is installed when you install the Directory Sync tool. On the computer that is running the Directory Sync tool, start PowerShell, type Import-Module DirSync, and then press ENTER.
Type Start-OnlineCoexistenceSync, and then press ENTER.
D: Azure Active Directory Sync Services (AAD Sync)
In September 2014 the Microsoft Azure AD Sync tool was released. This changed how
manual sync requests are issued.
To perform a manual update we now use the DirectorySyncClientCmd.exe tool. The Delta
and Initial parameters are added to the command to specify the relevant task.
This tool is located in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Azure AD Sync\Bin
You can use the directory synchronization Windows PowerShell cmdlet to force
synchronization. The cmdlet is installed when you install the Directory Sync tool. On the computer that is running the Directory Sync tool, start PowerShell, type Import-Module DirSync, and then press ENTER.
Type Start-OnlineCoexistenceSync, and then press ENTER.
Q5. DRAG DROP
You manage an application deployed to a cloud service that utilizes an Azure Storage account.
The cloud service currently uses the primary access key.
Security policy requires that all shared access keys are changed without causing application downtime.
Which three steps should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Answer:
Q6. DRAG DROP
You administer an Azure Virtual Machine (VM) named server1. The VM is in a cloud service named ContosoService1.
You discover that the VM is experiencing storage issues due to increased application logging on the server.
You need to create a new 256-GB disk and attach it to the server.
Which Power Shell cmdlets should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate cmdlet to the correct location in the Power Shell command. Each cmdlet may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Q8. HOTSPOT
You manage a public-facing web application which allows authenticated users to upload and download large files. On the initial public page there is a promotional video.
You plan to give users access to the site content and promotional video.
In the table below, identify the access method that should be used for the anonymous and authenticated parts of the application. Make only one selection in each column.
Answer:
Q9. You administer a virtual machine (VM) that is deployed to Azure. You configure a rule to generate an alert when the average availability of a web service on your VM drops below 95 percent for 15 minutes.
The development team schedules a one-hour maintenance period.
You have the following requirements:
. No alerts are created during the maintenance period.
. Alerts can be restored when the maintenance is complete. You want to achieve this goal by using the least amount of administrative effort.
What should you do from the Management Portal?
A. Select and disable the rule from the Dashboard page of the virtual machine.
B. Select and delete the rule from the Configure page of the virtual machine.
C. Select and disable the rule from the Monitor page of the virtual machine.
D. Select and disable the rule on the Configure page of the virtual machine.
Answer: C
Explanation: * Example:
* Virtual Machines
You can configure virtual machine alert rules on: / Monitoring metrics from the virtual machine host operating system / Web endpoint status metrics

Q10. You administer a Microsoft Azure SQL Database database in the US Central region named contosodb. Contosodb runs on a Standard tier within the SI performance level.
You have multiple business-critical applications that use contosodb.
You need to ensure that you can bring contosodb back online in the event of a natural disaster in the US Central region. You want to achieve this goal with the least amount of downtime.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A. Upgrade to S2 performance level.
B. Use active geo-replication.
C. Use automated Export.
D. Upgrade to Premium tier.
E. Use point in time restore.
F. Downgrade to Basic tier.
Answer: B,D
Explanation: B: The Active Geo-Replication feature implements a mechanism to provide database redundancy within the same Microsoft Azure region or in different regions (geo-redundancy). One of the primary benefits of Active Geo-Replication is that it provides a database-level disaster recovery solution. Using Active Geo-Replication, you can configure a user database in the Premium service tier to replicate transactions to databases on different Microsoft Azure SQL Database servers within the same or different regions. Cross-region redundancy enables applications to recover from a permanent loss of a datacenter caused by natural disasters, catastrophic human errors, or malicious acts.
D: Active Geo-Replication is available for databases in the Premium service tier only.
