Question 1 Three Azure compute resources run the same automation and need identical access to a storage account. The identity and permissions must persist when any compute resource is replaced, and developers must not manage credentials. Which identity design best fits?

Answer choices

  1. A. A shared employee user account with a nonexpiring password
  2. B. A separate system-assigned identity whose lifecycle is independent of each resource
  3. C. One user-assigned managed identity assigned to the three resources and authorized on storage
  4. D. An application secret copied into each resource's configuration

Correct answer

One user-assigned managed identity assigned to the three resources and authorized on storage

A user-assigned managed identity has an independent lifecycle, can be assigned to multiple supported Azure resources, and obtains tokens without stored credentials. System-assigned identities are tied to one resource and are deleted with it, so they do not satisfy the shared persistent-identity requirement.

Wrong-answer review

  • A. A shared employee user account with a nonexpiring password: A human user account creates credential, lifecycle, and audit problems for unattended automation.
  • B. A separate system-assigned identity whose lifecycle is independent of each resource: A system-assigned identity is tied to one resource and cannot be shared across all three.
  • D. An application secret copied into each resource's configuration: Copied application secrets reintroduce the credential storage and rotation burden the design must eliminate.

Extra learning features

Why candidates miss this

The choice of shared employee user accounts is tempting because it’s a familiar approach. The decisive clue is the requirement for persistent identity across resource replacements, which is fundamentally incompatible with shared accounts and their lifecycle management. Likely wrong answer: A shared employee user account with a nonexpiring password Review focus: Managed identities for Azure resources

Objective/domain: Plan and implement workload identities

Source: Managed identities for Azure resources

Question 2 A company is replacing its on-premises domain for a group of corporate-owned Windows laptops. Employees must sign in to the devices with organizational Microsoft Entra accounts, and the laptops must not remain joined to on-premises AD DS. Which device state should be used?

  2. B. Microsoft Entra hybrid joined
  3. C. Microsoft Entra registered while retaining local sign-in
  4. D. On-premises AD DS joined only

  4. D. Use the attribute as a password and grant access outside Azure authorization

Source: What are custom security attributes in Microsoft Entra ID?

  3. C. Use the Entra-role PIM path for the directory role and the separate Azure-resource PIM path for the subscription role
