Correct Answer:
Section: [none] Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Use two fault domains.
2 or 3 is max value, depending on which region you are in.
Use 20 for platformUpdateDomainCount
Increasing the update domain (platformUpdateDomainCount) helps with capacity and availability planning
when the platform reboots nodes. A higher number for the pool (20 is max) means that fewer of their nodes
in any given availability set would be rebooted at once.

Every Azure AD directory comes with an initial domain name in the form of domainname.onmicrosoft.com. The
initial domain name cannot be changed or deleted, but you can add your corporate domain name to Azure
AD as well. For example, your organization probably has other domain names used to do business and users
who sign in using your corporate domain name. Adding custom domain names to Azure AD allows you to assign
user names in the directory that are familiar to your users, such as ‘alice@contoso.com.’ instead of
'alice@domain name.onmicrosoft.com'.
Scenario:
Network Infrastructure: Each office has a local data center that contains all the servers for that
office. Each office has a dedicated connection to the Internet.
Humongous Insurance has a single-domain Active Directory forest named humongousinsurance.com
Planned Azure AD Infrastructure: The on-premises Active Directory domain will be synchronized to Azure AD.

Step 1 (E): Install the Azure File Sync agent on Server1
The Azure File Sync agent is a downloadable package that enables Windows Server to be synced with an Azure
file share
Step 2 (B): Register Server1.
Register Windows Server with Storage Sync Service
Registering your Windows Server with a Storage Sync Service establishes a trust relationship between your
server (or cluster) and the Storage Sync Service.
Step 3 (C): Create a sync group and a cloud endpoint.
A sync group 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.

QUESTION 46
HOTSPOT
You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. Subscription1 contains a virtual machine named VM1.
You install and configure a web server and a DNS server on VM1.
VM1 has the effective network security rules shown in the following exhibit.
Use the drop-down menus to select the answer choice that completes each statement based on the information
presented.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Explanation:
Box 1:
Rule2 blocks ports 50-60, which includes port 53, the DNS port. Internet users can reach the Web server,
since it uses port 80.
Box 2:
If Rule2 is removed internet users can reach the DNS server as well.
Note: Rules are processed in priority order, with lower numbers processed before higher numbers, because
lower numbers have higher priority. Once traffic matches a rule, processing stops. As a result, any rules
that exist with lower priorities (higher numbers) that have the same attributes as rules with higher
priorities are not processed.
