Question 2 of 234

Your company uses Microsoft System Center "" Service Manager on its on-premises network.

You plan to deploy several services to Azure.

You need to recommend a solution to push Azure service health alerts to Service Manager.

What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

IT Service Management Connector (ITSM) is designed to integrate Azure alerts with IT service management tools like Microsoft System Center Service Manager. This allows service health alerts and other trigger-based notifications from Azure to be automatically pushed into Service Manager, ensuring your team is kept up-to-date with any issues or changes in your Azure services.

Question 3 of 234

You have an on-premises Hyper-V cluster. The cluster contains Hyper-V hosts that run Windows Server 2016 Datacenter. The hosts are licensed under a

Microsoft Enterprise Agreement that has Software Assurance.

The Hyper-V cluster hosts 3 virtual machines that run Windows Server 2012 R2. Each virtual machine runs a different workload. The workloads have predictable consumption patterns.

You plan to replace the virtual machines with Azure virtual machines that run Windows Server 2016. The virtual machines will be sized according to the consumption pattern of each workload.

You need to recommend a solution to minimize the compute costs of the Azure virtual machines.

Which two recommendations should you include in the solution? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A, E.

To minimize the compute costs of the Azure virtual machines, you should purchase Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances and activate Azure Hybrid Benefit. By purchasing Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances, you can save money by committing to use Azure for a period of one or three years, which results in a discounted rate compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. Activating Azure Hybrid Benefit allows you to utilize existing on-premises Windows Server licenses with Software Assurance to offset some of the costs of running Windows Server virtual machines on Azure, which can lead to significant cost savings.

Question 4 of 234

You have an on-premises Active Directory forest and an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant. All Azure AD users are assigned a Premium P1 license.

You deploy Azure AD Connect.Which two features are available in this environment that can reduce operational overhead for your company's help desk? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C, E.

To reduce operational overhead for a help desk, self-service password reset and password writeback are highly effective. Self-service password reset allows users to reset their passwords without contacting the help desk, significantly decreasing the number of password-related support tickets. Password writeback ensures that passwords changed in Azure AD are synchronized back to the on-premises Active Directory, providing a seamless experience and reducing administrative tasks for the help desk.

Question 5 of 234

You are planning the implementation of an order processing web service that will contain microservices hosted in an Azure Service Fabric cluster.

You need to recommend a solution to provide developers with the ability to proactively identify and fix performance issues. The developers must be able to simulate user connections to the order processing web service from the Internet, as well as simulate user transactions. The developers must be notified if the goals for the transaction response times are not met.
