To use Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Privileged Identity Management (PIM), your directory must have a valid license.
Which licenses will you require? (Make three selections – each answer is a complete solution).
A) Azure AD Premium P1
B) Azure AD Premium P2
C) Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) E3
D) Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) E5
E) Microsoft 365 F1
F) Microsoft 365 M3
G) Microsoft 365 M5
CORRECT ANSWERS:
B) Azure AD Premium P2
D) Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) E5
G) Microsoft 365 M5
To use Privileged Identity Management, your directory must have one of the following paid or trial licenses:
Your enterprise environment is presently using Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
You have been tasked with configuring directory synchronization with your Office 365 E5 subscription.
You need to set up support for Single Sign-on (SSO) and you want to confirm that all of the domain user names in use meet the formatting standard and will not cause any issues with the synchronization.
What should you do? (Choose the best option)
A) Make changes to the default configuration of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Connect sync
B) Confirm the synchronization settings in the Synchronization Rules Editor
C) Run Azure AD Connect sync with the defaults
D) Run the IdFix tool
E) Run the Synchronization Rules Editor and create a custom rule
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is (D) Run the Office 365 IdFix tool – the tool is used to search for problems in your directory and then fix the errors in the GUI.
Common errors detected by IdFix include illegal characters, duplicate entries / values, format violations, length limitations, to name a few.
While you can make changes to the default configuration in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Connect sync and / or run Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Connect sync with the default settings, neither of these options would address any potential issues that might be found where there are the formatting exceptions and where these may cause issues with the synchronization.
The Synchronization Rules Editor is used to see and change the default configuration. It is configured with the default rules and you can add custom changes to the rules, such as flow, precedence, scoping, and so on, but this will not address the issue with any potential issues that might be found where there are the formatting exceptions and where these may cause issues with the synchronization.

When looking at using a cloud service, what expenditure type are cloud services based on?
A) Capital Expenditure (CapEx)
B) Friendly expenditure
C) Maximum expense
D) Operational Expenditure (OpEx) – CORRECT ANSWER
Explanation
Operational Expenditure (OpEx) is the correct answer. Cloud services operate on an Operational Expenditure model. It is regular, repeated expenditure that you pay for using cloud services.
Capital Expenditure (CapEx) is not the correct answer. Capital Expenditure (CapEx) is not required to be paid upfront when looking to start using a cloud services. There are no up-front costs to use cloud services. You pay for what you consume, under a consumption-based model.
Friendly expenditure and Maximum expense are not defined expenditure types.

You’re running your environment in Azure and you review the following resources
Resource Group – rgmain001
Storage Account – samain001
Azure File Sync – afs001
samain001 contains a file share called IMAGES that contains 1,000 image files.
You need to synchronize the files in Azure to an on-premises Windows server named IMGSYS001.
Which three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A) Mount the current Blob storage in state as a file system
B) Transfer data with the AzCopy
C) Create a sync group and a cloud endpoint
D) Register
IMGSYS001
E) Install the Azure File Sync agent on IMGSYS001
Correct answer:
C, D, E
Step 1 (E): Install the Azure File Sync agent on IMGSYS001 – The Azure File Sync agent is a downloadable package that enables Windows Server to be synced with an Azure file share
Step 2 (D): Register IMGSYS001.
Register Windows Server with Storage Sync Service – establishes a trust relationship between your physical server (or cluster) and the Storage Sync Service.
Step 3 (C): Create a sync group and a cloud endpoint – defines the sync topology for a set of files. Endpoints within a sync group are kept in sync with each other. A sync group must contain one cloud endpoint, which represents an Azure file share and one or more server endpoints. A server endpoint represents a path on registered server.
AzCopy is a command-line utility designed for copying data to/from Microsoft Azure Blob, File, and Table storage, using simple commands designed for optimal performance. You can copy data between a file system and a storage account, or between storage accounts but it is not the best answer to fully synchronize files in Azure to an on-premises server.
You can mount Blob storage as a file system with blobfuse, but this is only available through the Linux file system. Blobfuse is a virtual file system driver for Azure Blob storage.
