You have an Azure subscription.
You have an on-premises file server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2019.
You manage Server1 by using Windows Admin Center.
You need to ensure that if Server1 fails, you can recover Server1 files from Azure.
Solution: You create an Azure Storage account and an Azure Storage Sync service. You configure Azure File Sync for Server1.
Does this meet the goal?
- A. No
- B. Yes
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Use Azure File Sync to centralize your organization's file shares in Azure Files, while keeping the flexibility, performance, and compatibility of an on-premises file server. Azure File Sync transforms Windows Server into a quick cache of your Azure file share.
Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud that are accessible via the industry standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. Azure file shares can be mounted concurrently by cloud or on-premises deployments of Windows, Linux, and macOS. Additionally, Azure file shares can be cached on Windows Servers with Azure File Sync for fast access near where the data is being used.
Azure file shares can be used to:
Replace or supplement on-premises file servers:
Azure Files can be used to completely replace or supplement traditional on-premises file servers or NAS devices. Popular operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux can directly mount Azure file shares wherever they are in the world. Azure file shares can also be replicated with Azure File Sync to Windows Servers, either on-premises or in the cloud, for performance and distributed caching of the data where it's being used.

You have an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant that contains a group named Group1.
You need to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the users in Group1 only.
Solution: From Multi-Factor Authentication, you select Bulk update, and you provide a CSV file that contains the members of Group1.
Does this meet the goal?
- A. No
- B. Yes
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
We should use a Conditional Access policy.
Note: There are two ways to secure user sign-in events by requiring multi-factor authentication in Azure AD.
The first, and preferred, option is to set up a Conditional Access policy that requires multi-factor authentication under certain conditions. The second option is to enable each user for Azure Multi-Factor Authentication. When users are enabled individually, they perform multi-factor authentication each time they sign in (with some exceptions, such as when they sign in from trusted IP addresses or when the remembered devices feature is turned on).
Enabling Azure Multi-Factor Authentication using Conditional Access policies is the recommended approach.
Changing user states is no longer recommended unless your licenses don't include Conditional Access as it requires users to perform MFA every time they sign in.

Overview
Contoso, Ltd. is a manufacturing company that has offices worldwide. Contoso works with partner organizations to bring products to market.
Contoso products are manufactured by using blueprint files that the company authors and maintains.
Existing Environment
Currently, Contoso uses multiple types of servers for business operations, including the following:
* File servers
* Domain controllers
* Microsoft SQL Server servers
Your network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. All servers and client computers are joined to Active Directory.
You have a public-facing application named App1. App1 is comprised of the following three tiers:
* A SQL database
* A web front end
* A processing middle tier
Each tier is comprised of five virtual machines. Users access the web front end by using HTTPS only.
Requirements
Planned Changes
Contoso plans to implement the following changes to the infrastructure:
* Move all the tiers of App1 to Azure.
* Move the existing product blueprint files to Azure Blob storage.

What should you recommend? To answer, drag the appropriate solutions to the correct scenarios. Each solution 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.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation
Box 1: Scale set
A virtual machine scale set allows you to deploy and manage a set of identical, auto scaling virtual machines.
Box 2: Availability Set
An Availability Set is a logical grouping capability for isolating VM resources from each other when they're deployed. Azure makes sure that the VMs you place within an Availability Set run across multiple physical servers, compute racks, storage units, and network switches. If a hardware or software failure happens, only a subset of your VMs are impacted and your overall solution stays operational. Availability Sets are essential for building reliable cloud solutions.
Box 3: Fault domain
A fault domain is a logical group of underlying hardware that share a common power source and network switch, similar to a rack within an on-premises datacenter. As you create VMs within an availability set, the Azure platform automatically distributes your VMs across these fault domains. This approach limits the impact of potential physical hardware failures, network outages, or power interruptions.
