Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Updated Exam

As App1 is public-facing we need an incoming security rule, related to the access of the web servers.

Scenario: You have a public-facing application named App1. App1 is comprised of the following three tiers: a SQL database, a web front end, and a processing middle tier.

Each tier is comprised of five virtual machines. Users access the web front end by using HTTPS only.

Statement 1: Yes

Contoso is moving the existing product blueprint files to Azure Blob storage which will ensure that the blueprint files are stored in the archive storage tier.

Use unmanaged standard storage for the hard disks of the virtual machines. We use Page Blobs for these.

Statement 2: No

Azure Table storage stores large amounts of structured data. The service is a NoSQL datastore which accepts authenticated calls from inside and outside the Azure cloud. Azure tables are ideal for storing structured, non-relational data. Common uses of Table storage include:

1. Storing TBs of structured data capable of serving web scale applications

2. Storing datasets that don ' t require complex joins, foreign keys, or stored procedures and can be denormalized for fast access

3. Quickly querying data using a clustered index

4. Accessing data using the OData protocol and LINQ queries with WCF Data Service .NET Libraries

Statement 3: No

File Storage can be used if your business use case needs to deal mostly with standard File extensions like *.docx, *.png and *.bak then you should probably go with this storage option.

In this scenario, Contoso Ltd. must designate a new user named Admin1 as the service administrator of the Azure subscription and ensure that Admin1 receives email alerts about service outages.

In Azure, there are three classic administrative roles associated with subscriptions:

Account Administrator – The individual who created the subscription and manages billing.

Service Administrator – The primary contact responsible for managing services and resources in the subscription.

Co-Administrator – Has the same management privileges as the Service Administrator but cannot change subscription associations.

According to Microsoft Azure Administrator documentation, to change the Service Administrator, you must perform the following steps:

In the Azure portal, navigate to Subscriptions.

Select the specific subscription.

Under Settings, choose Properties.

In the Service Administrator field, update the name and email address to that of the new administrator (in this case, Admin1).

This modification ensures that Admin1 becomes the Service Administrator, and Azure will automatically send service-related notifications and outage alerts to that user’s registered email address, as defined by Microsoft’s subscription notification process.

Option B (IAM settings) is used for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and assigning Azure Resource Manager roles such as Owner, Contributor, or Reader. However, RBAC roles do not change the Service Administrator at the subscription level — that’s only done through the Properties blade.

Options C (AAD Properties) and D (AAD Groups) are unrelated to subscription-level administrative settings.

Therefore, the verified and Microsoft-documented answer is:

✅ A. From the Subscriptions blade, select the subscription, and then modify the Properties.

Final Verified Answer: ✅ A. From the Subscriptions blade, select the subscription, and then modify the Properties.

✅ Yes, Yes, No
