The Microsoft Azure Administrator syllabus spans 5 domains, starting with Manage Azure identities and governance (20-25%), Implement and manage storage (15-20%), and Deploy and manage Azure compute resources (20-25%). The full weighted outline is in the syllabus section above — read it before you allocate a single study hour.
The AZ-104 exam — full name Microsoft Azure Administrator Exam — is Microsoft's own measure of whether you can work with its technologies at a professional standard. Passing awards the Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate certification, a credential at the Associate level. For anyone making an informed career move, that vendor-backed proof is the kind of signal that shortens interviews. It also connects to Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate as natural next steps.
Passing the AZ-104 exam requires 700 out of 1000, and official registration costs USD $165. That fee buys one attempt only — a retake is billed again in full, no exceptions. The economical play is to rehearse first: drill 481 practice questions at Real4Prep under timed conditions until the passing mark sits comfortably behind you, then register.

You need to ensure that you can add VM1 and VM2 to the backend pool of LB1.
Solution: You create a Standard SKU public IP address, associate the address to the network interface of VM1, and then stop VM2.
Does this meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No

You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Availability Set named WEBPROD-AS-USE2 as shown in the following exhibit.
You add 14 virtual machines to WEBPROD-AS-USE2.

Explanation:
Detailed Explanation
With platformUpdateDomainCount=10, Azure distributes the 14 VMs across update domains in round-robin order: update domains 0-3 each receive 2 VMs and update domains 4-9 each receive 1 VM. Planned maintenance is rolled through one update domain at a time, so the worst case is the update domain holding 2 VMs -- a maximum of 2 VMs unavailable simultaneously, matching the source key. With platformFaultDomainCount=2, the same 14 VMs are distributed round-robin across the 2 fault domains, giving exactly 7 VMs per fault domain. A single rack maps to a single fault domain, so a rack power failure takes down one fault domain ' s worth of VMs -- a maximum of 7 VMs unavailable, also matching the source key. Both figures are verified correct against the exhibit ' s stated counts and standard Azure fault/update domain distribution behavior; no correction is required.

You need to identify the storage requirements for Contoso.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Exhibit
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation
The case study only names two concrete storage needs: moving the blueprint files into Blob storage (explicitly requiring Blob support and the Archive access tier) and using unmanaged standard storage for VM OS/data disks. Unmanaged disks in Azure are stored as page blobs inside a general-purpose storage account ' s Blob service, so this requirement also maps to Blob storage, not to Table or File Storage. Nothing in the scenario - no mention of NoSQL key-value data, queued messaging, or SMB file shares needed by the App1 tiers - calls for Azure Table storage or Azure File Storage; App1 ' s tiers are VM-based application/web/SQL servers, not services that persist structured entity data in Table storage or require shared SMB storage. Consequently the only " Yes " answer is Blob storage support; Table storage and Azure File Storage should both be marked " No. " This matches the given hotspot answer and needs no correction.

Topic 1, Contoso Ltd
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.
Create a hybrid directory to support an upcoming Microsoft Office 365 migration project.
Technical Requirements
Contoso must meet the following technical requirements:
Move all the virtual machines for App1 to Azure.
Minimize the number of open ports between the App1 tiers.
Ensure that all the virtual machines for App1 are protected by backups.
Copy the blueprint files to Azure over the Internet.
Ensure that the blueprint files are stored in the archive storage tier.
Ensure that partner access to the blueprint files is secured and temporary.
Prevent user passwords or hashes of passwords from being stored in Azure.
Use unmanaged standard storage for the hard disks of the virtual machines.
Ensure that when users join devices to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), the users use a mobile phone to verify their identity.
Minimize administrative effort whenever possible.
User Requirements
Contoso identifies the following requirements for users:
Ensure that only users who are part of a group named Pilot can join devices to Azure AD.
Designate a new user named Admin1 as the service administrator of the Azure subscription.
Admin1 must receive email alerts regarding service outages.
Ensure that a new user named User3 can create network objects for the Azure subscription.
You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1.
You create an Azure Storage account named contosostorage, and then you create a file share named data.
Which UNC path should you include in a script that references files from the data file share? To answer, drag the appropriate values to the correct targets. Each value 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.
Exhibit
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation
An Azure file share is addressed over SMB using the UNC pattern \\ < storage-account-name > .file.core.
windows.net\ < share-name > . The storage account name (contosostorage) forms the host label before the fixed ' file.core.windows.net ' suffix, which is the DNS endpoint for the File service (distinct from ' blob.core.
windows.net ' , used for Blob storage, and unrelated values like ' portal.azure.com ' or ' subscription1 ' , which are not storage endpoints at all). The share name created (data) becomes the final path segment after the single backslash. This yields \\contosostorage.file.core.windows.net\data, which is exactly what a script would use to mount or reference files in the share via SMB.
