SIMULATION
You need to configure Azure to allow RDP connections from the Internet to a virtual machine named VM1. The solution must minimize the attack surface of VM1.
To complete this task, sign in to the Azure portal.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

To enable the RDP port in an NSG, follow these steps:
1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
2. In Virtual Machines, select VM1
3. In Settings, select Networking.
4. In Inbound port rules, check whether the port for RDP is set correctly. The following is an example of the configuration:
Priority: 300
Name: Port_3389
Port(Destination): 3389
Protocol: TCP
Source: Any
Destinations: Any
Action: Allow

Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains a single domain.
You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that is associated to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named contoso.com.
You plan to deploy Azure AD Connect and to integrate Active Directory and the Azure AD tenant.
You need to recommend an integration solution that meets the following requirements:
-Ensures that password policies and user logon restrictions apply to user accounts that are synced to the tenant
-Minimizes the number of servers required for the solution.
Which authentication method should you include in the recommendation?

  1. federated identity with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
  2. password hash synchronization with seamless single sign-on (SSO)
  3. pass-through authentication with seamless single sign-on (SSO)

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Password hash synchronization requires the least effort regarding deployment, maintenance, and infrastructure. This level of effort typically applies to organizations that only need their users to sign in to Office 365, SaaS apps, and other Azure AD-based resources. When turned on, password hash synchronization is part of the Azure AD Connect sync process and runs every two minutes.
Incorrect Answers:
A: A federated authentication system relies on an external trusted system to authenticate users. Some companies want to reuse their existing federated system investment with their Azure AD hybrid identity solution. The maintenance and management of the federated system falls outside the control of Azure AD. It's up to the organization by using the federated system to make sure it's deployed securely and can handle the authentication load.
C: For pass-through authentication, you need one or more (we recommend three) lightweight agents installed on existing servers. These agents must have access to your on-premises Active Directory Domain Services, including your on-premises AD domain controllers. They need outbound access to the Internet and access to your domain controllers. For this reason, it's not supported to deploy the agents in a perimeter network.
Pass-through Authentication requires unconstrained network access to domain controllers. All network traffic is encrypted and limited to authentication requests.

Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory domain named corp.contoso.com.
You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that is associated to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named contoso.com.
You sync all on-premises identities to Azure AD.
You need to prevent users who have a givenName attribute that starts with TEST from being synced to Azure AD. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you use?

  1. Synchronization Rules Editor
  2. Web Service Configuration Tool
  3. the Azure AD Connect wizard
  4. Active Directory Users and Computers

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Use the Synchronization Rules Editor and write attribute-based filtering rule.

DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported) (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You are implementing conditional access policies.
You must evaluate the existing Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) risk events and risk levels to configure and implement the policies.
You need to identify the risk level of the following risk events:
-Users with leaked credentials
-Impossible travel to atypical locations
-Sign-ins from IP addresses with suspicious activity
Which level should you identify for each risk event? To answer, drag the appropriate levels to the correct risk events. Each level 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.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Select and Place:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Azure AD Identity protection can detect six types of suspicious sign-in activities:
- Users with leaked credentials
- Sign-ins from anonymous IP addresses
- Impossible travel to atypical locations
Sign-ins from infected devices
- Sign-ins from IP addresses with suspicious activity
- Sign-ins from unfamiliar locations
These six types of events are categorized in to 3 levels of risks ג€" High, Medium & Low:

Use the Should reviewer not respond list to specify what happens for users that are not reviewed by the reviewer within the review period. This setting does not impact users who have been reviewed by the reviewers manually. If the final reviewer's decision is Deny, then the user's access will be removed.
No change - Leave user's access unchanged
Remove access - Remove user's access
Approve access - Approve user's access
Take recommendations - Take the system's recommendation on denying or approving the user's continued access

You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that is associated to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named contoso.com.
An administrator named Admin1 has access to the following identities:
-An OpenID-enabled user account
-A Hotmail account
-An account in contoso.com
-An account in an Azure AD tenant named fabrikam.com
You plan to use Azure Account Center to transfer the ownership of Sub1 to Admin1.
To which accounts can you transfer the ownership of Sub1?

  1. contoso.com only
  2. contoso.com, fabrikam.com, and Hotmail only
  3. contoso.com and fabrikam.com only
  4. contoso.com, fabrikam.com, Hotmail, and OpenID-enabled user account

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When you transfer billing ownership of your subscription to an account in another Azure AD tenant, you can move the subscription to the new account's tenant. If you do so, all users, groups, or service principals who had role based access (RBAC) to manage subscriptions and its resources lose their access. Only the user in the new account who accepts your transfer request will have access to manage the resources.
