Microsoft AZ-104 Practice Test 71
Question 700
A backup operation reports a VM snapshot consistency warning. What should be verified?
- Review application-consistent versus crash-consistent recovery point requirements.
- Assume that every Completed Azure Backup job produced an application-consistent recovery point.
- Reprotect the recovered workload and perform a supported failback sequence when the source is ready.
- Use Azure Backup file recovery from an eligible VM recovery point.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Application quiescing and crash consistency differ. The recovery strategy should match the protected workload's tolerance. This matters here because a backup operation reports a VM snapshot consistency warning.
Incorrect Answers
B:A completed backup job may have a crash-consistent recovery point or workload warnings. Review the actual consistency type and restore requirements rather than assuming application consistency.
C:Failback requires replication direction and target infrastructure readiness; the initial failover is not automatically reversible. This matters here because a backup operation reports a VM snapshot consistency warning.
D:File recovery can mount or access a recovery point for selective file retrieval. Restoring the entire VM is unnecessary when a file suffices. This matters here because a backup operation reports a VM snapshot consistency warning.
Question 701
An internal automation locates two users with identical displayName values. Which stable identifier should it use to select one object?
- Inspect tenant guest-user access restrictions and effective directory roles.
- Use the unique Entra object ID to identify the exact directory user.
- Check accountEnabled and deleted-users status before creating another principal.
- Check immutable employee identifiers and the exact Entra user object IDs before replaying writes.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:A display name is not guaranteed unique. Object IDs target one directory principal even when names collide. This matters here because an internal automation locates two users with identical displayName values. Which stable identifier should it use to….
Incorrect Answers
A:Azure resource-management RBAC is not the same authorization plane as directory browsing. Guest directory visibility is managed by Entra policies and roles. This matters here because an internal automation locates two users with identical displayName values. Which stable identifier should it use to….
C:A blocked account is still a directory object. Recreating it risks duplicate identities and does not repair a simple sign-in restriction. This matters here because an internal automation locates two users with identical displayName values. Which stable identifier should it use to….
D:Idempotent matching prevents a retry from creating a second principal for the same employee. Display names are not unique reliable keys. This matters here because an internal automation locates two users with identical displayName values. Which stable identifier should it use to….
Question 702
A supplier invites a guest, but the tenant's external collaboration policy denies invitations to the partner's domain. What is the appropriate administrative action?
- Configure external collaboration guest access restrictions for directory visibility.
- Delete the invited guest and bypass the organization-wide domain allow/block restriction.
- Update the existing Entra user's displayName property.
- Review authorized external collaboration domain restrictions before attempting the invite.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:B2B invitation eligibility is determined by tenant policy. An invitation cannot bypass an explicit approved domain block. This matters here because a supplier invites a guest, but the tenant's external collaboration policy denies invitations to the partner's….
Incorrect Answers
A:Guest restrictions govern how much directory information external identities can discover. App permissions and B2B authentication are separate controls. This matters here because a supplier invites a guest, but the tenant's external collaboration policy denies invitations to the partner's….
B:Deleting one guest cannot change the tenant’s invitation-domain restriction. The approved B2B collaboration policy must be reviewed and adjusted by an authorized administrator if the supplier domain should be allowed.
C:Display name is a presentation attribute independent of the user principal name and object ID, so a profile update does not create a replacement identity. This matters here because a supplier invites a guest, but the tenant's external collaboration policy denies invitations to the partner's….
Question 703
The organization wants to allow one trusted supplier domain while still denying unknown invitations. What should be modified?
- Grant the supplier's existing guests broad app roles instead of changing tenant external-collaboration invitation restrictions.
- Inspect tenant guest-user access restrictions and effective directory roles.
- Configure B2B external collaboration invitation allow/block domain restrictions.
- Add the trusted domain to the Entra B2B allowed-domain configuration under approved policy.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:An invitation allowlist permits explicitly trusted domains and constrains broader collaboration. Granting Azure Reader does not authorize a blocked identity invitation. This matters here because the organization wants to allow one trusted supplier domain while still denying unknown invitations.
Incorrect Answers
A:App entitlements do not implement a domain allowlist for who may be invited. Configure the supported external collaboration and domain restrictions without broadening application authorization.
B:Azure resource-management RBAC is not the same authorization plane as directory browsing. Guest directory visibility is managed by Entra policies and roles. This matters here because the organization wants to allow one trusted supplier domain while still denying unknown invitations.
C:Domain restrictions can govern which outside identities may be invited to the resource tenant. RBAC on a subscription does not alter invitation eligibility. This matters here because the organization wants to allow one trusted supplier domain while still denying unknown invitations.
Question 704
A tenant has an Entra user whose login is temporarily locked, but the support team must verify the license assignment without reactivating sign-in. What can they inspect?
- Revoke the user's Entra sign-in sessions and review application-issued session lifetimes.
- Review the user license and service-plan assignments while the sign-in block remains in place.
- Block the user's sign-in in Entra and preserve the account for investigation.
- Unblock the user's sign-in solely to view their existing Microsoft 365 license assignment.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Identity properties and license records can be examined independently of permitting interactive authentication. Reactivating the user is not required to check the assigned service plans. This matters here because a tenant has an Entra user whose login is temporarily locked, but the support team must verify the license….
Incorrect Answers
A:Sign-in blocking governs new authentications and does not necessarily invalidate every previously issued session. Revocation and application session controls address remaining access. This matters here because a tenant has an Entra user whose login is temporarily locked, but the support team must verify the license….
C:Blocking new sign-ins is a reversible identity action; it leaves the user object available for audit. Active tokens may require separate revocation. This matters here because a tenant has an Entra user whose login is temporarily locked, but the support team must verify the license….
D:Entra sign-in restrictions can remain in effect while administrators inspect a user's SKU and service-plan entitlements. A usageLocation adjustment is unnecessary for a read-only license audit unless a real assignment error proves it relevant.
Question 705
An administrator misinterprets a blocked Entra account as permanently deleted and tries to recreate it. What status should be confirmed?
- Delete and recreate the account merely because its sign-in is blocked.
- Restore the existing Entra user from deleted users within the applicable retention window.
- Add the trusted domain to the Entra B2B allowed-domain configuration under approved policy.
- Check accountEnabled and deleted-users status before creating another principal.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:A blocked account is still a directory object. Recreating it risks duplicate identities and does not repair a simple sign-in restriction. This matters here because an administrator misinterprets a blocked Entra account as permanently deleted and tries to recreate it. What status….
Incorrect Answers
A:A blocked user still exists and can retain assignments and audit history. Check enabled/disabled state before considering deletion or identity replacement.
B:Soft-deleted users can often be restored before expiry, preserving their original object instead of creating a new principal with different references.
C:An invitation allowlist permits explicitly trusted domains and constrains broader collaboration. Granting Azure Reader does not authorize a blocked identity invitation. This matters here because an administrator misinterprets a blocked Entra account as permanently deleted and tries to recreate it. What status….
Question 706
A newly hired employee needs access to one third-party enterprise application after being added to the tenant. What should be configured after user creation?
- Use a service principal or supported managed identity for the workload.
- Inspect application-assigned group memberships and applicable nested membership semantics.
- Assign the person to the authorized enterprise application or its eligible access group.
- Set the new employee's usageLocation and assume that automatically assigns a third-party enterprise application.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Account creation establishes identity but not necessarily application authorization. Assignment and app access policies can impose additional requirements. This matters here because a newly hired employee needs access to one third-party enterprise application after being added to the tenant.
Incorrect Answers
A:Applications and automation can authenticate as workload principals with scoped authorization, rather than borrowing a person's account. This matters here because a newly hired employee needs access to one third-party enterprise application after being added to the tenant.
B:Access can be conferred through groups rather than an explicit user assignment. Evaluate the application's supported transitive membership behavior rather than assuming all nested groups work identically. This matters here because a newly hired employee needs access to one third-party enterprise application after being added to the tenant.
D:License location fields do not add a person to an application's allowed users. If assignment is required, grant the app or eligible assigned-group entitlement at the intended scope after creating the identity.
Question 707
An employee with a valid Entra sign-in receives the enterprise application's assignment-required error. What is the shortest diagnostic path?
- Check that the correct user's object ID appears in an eligible application assignment or assigned group.
- Inspect the enterprise application's User assignment required setting and its assigned users or groups.
- Change the employee's usage location instead of checking membership in the application assignment list.
- Use Microsoft Entra directory administration roles rather than Azure subscription RBAC.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:A successful sign-in cannot replace a missing application entitlement. Inspect the target application's assignment configuration before changing tenant authentication.
Incorrect Answers
B:When assignment is required, a valid guest credential alone is insufficient. Membership or explicit application assignment must authorize the target user. This matters here because an employee with a valid Entra sign-in receives the enterprise application's assignment-required error. What is the….
C:A successful sign-in with an application-assignment-required error points to missing or ineffective app authorization. Inspect the principal or assigned group and its effective membership rather than changing a licensing geography field.
D:Directory password reset is a tenant identity operation; resource Contributor or Owner does not automatically confer permission to reset users. This matters here because an employee with a valid Entra sign-in receives the enterprise application's assignment-required error. What is the….
Question 708
A company wants to delegate only resetting known affected users' passwords to a support role without granting Azure resource permissions. What control plane should it use?
- Assign Azure subscription Contributor to the support staff and assume it permits Microsoft Entra password resets.
- Grant the appropriate scoped Password Administrator capability for the relevant users.
- Give the support staff Azure resource-group Contributor so they can reset Microsoft Entra user passwords.
- Use Microsoft Entra directory administration roles rather than Azure subscription RBAC.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Directory password reset is a tenant identity operation; resource Contributor or Owner does not automatically confer permission to reset users. This matters here because a company wants to delegate only resetting known affected users' passwords to a support role without granting Azure….
Incorrect Answers
A:Azure resource RBAC and Entra user administration are separate permission planes. Delegate an appropriate Entra directory role or scoped support access for the affected users.
B:Password Administrator provides supported reset operations for nonprivileged users and certain supported role targets. A general subscription Contributor role cannot manage tenant passwords. This matters here because a company wants to delegate only resetting known affected users' passwords to a support role without granting Azure….
C:Contributor authorizes Azure resource management rather than directory password-reset operations. The helpdesk needs scoped Microsoft Entra support-role permissions, without resource write access.
Question 709
An Azure Contributor can manage VMs but cannot reset a Microsoft Entra user's password. What diagnosis is appropriate?
- Scope self-service password reset to the appropriate Entra users and require authentication-method registration.
- Recognize the separation between Entra directory roles and Azure resource-management RBAC.
- Check password-reset role limitations for privileged targets before assigning a higher authorized support role.
- Change a dynamic group rule and assume Azure Contributor receives the ability to reset Entra passwords.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:The Contributor role authorizes Azure management actions at scope. Identity tasks require separately delegated directory privileges. This matters here because an Azure Contributor can manage VMs but cannot reset a Microsoft Entra user's password. What diagnosis is appropriate.
Incorrect Answers
A:SSPR enables eligible users to prove identity and reset their password without ticket handling. It requires correct scope and sufficient registered methods. This matters here because an Azure Contributor can manage VMs but cannot reset a Microsoft Entra user's password. What diagnosis is appropriate.
C:Entra uses privilege boundaries for which directory roles can reset other accounts. Administering ordinary users does not imply authority over all privileged principals. This matters here because an Azure Contributor can manage VMs but cannot reset a Microsoft Entra user's password. What diagnosis is appropriate.
D:Azure resource RBAC and Entra directory password administration are distinct permission planes. Group evaluation cannot grant a Contributor role password-reset authority automatically.
Question 710
A cross-subscription governance team should read resources from every subscription under a management group. Which scope reduces duplicate grants?
- Assign Reader to one resource group in each subscription and expect all other resource groups to inherit it.
- Assign VM Contributor in each subscription instead of one suitably scoped management-group Reader grant.
- Apply the role at an ancestor scope so its allowed actions flow to descendants.
- Assign Reader at the appropriate management-group scope.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Roles granted on a management-group ancestor can be inherited by descendant subscriptions and resources. This is broader than a single resource-group grant. This matters here because a cross-subscription governance team should read resources from every subscription under a management group. Which….
Incorrect Answers
A:Resource-group grants do not flow sideways to sibling groups. A management-group or subscription-level Reader assignment provides inherited visibility across the needed descendants.
B:VM Contributor allows operational changes and is broader than cross-subscription read-only governance. Assign Reader at the relevant management group for inherited resource visibility.
C:A role assignment at a resource group covers existing and newly created child resources where the role applies. Inheritance does not require per-resource duplication. This matters here because a cross-subscription governance team should read resources from every subscription under a management group. Which….
