Microsoft Updated AZ-104 Exam Questions and Answers by zayaan

 Stored access policies: ✅ 2

 Immutable blob storage policies: ✅ 1

From the scenario in the earlier case study (A. Datum Corporation):

The planned change requires creating a new container named cont2 in storage1, with the following:

Three stored access policies (Stored1, Stored2, Stored3)

A legal hold for immutable blob storage

Also, recall from the table:

storage1 has Hierarchical namespace = Yes (Data Lake Storage Gen2 enabled).

storage2 has Hierarchical namespace = No.

The question asks: “What is the maximum number of additional access policies you can create for cont2?”

According to Microsoft Azure Storage documentation:

A blob container can have a maximum of five stored access policies.

These policies allow shared access signatures (SAS) to be managed centrally, letting you define start times, expiry times, and permissions at the container level.

Since three stored access policies (Stored1, Stored2, Stored3) already exist, the maximum additional policies that can still be created is:

→ 5 (maximum allowed) – 3 (already existing) = 2

For immutable blob storage policies:

A container can have one active immutability policy at a time.

This can be either a time-based retention policy or a legal hold policy.

Since cont2 already has a legal hold applied, no additional immutable policy can coexist with it, but it can have one defined policy type (the legal hold).

Therefore:

Stored access policies: 2 additional policies can still be created.

Immutable blob storage policies: 1 policy (the existing legal hold).

This aligns exactly with Microsoft Learn: Azure Storage Blob Service limits and immutable storage documentation:

“A container may have up to five stored access policies. Immutable storage supports either a time-based retention policy or legal hold policy per container.”

Final Verified Answer:

✅ Stored access policies: 2

✅ Immutable blob storage policies: 1

Azure Storage Explorer is a free tool from Microsoft that allows you to work with Azure Storage data on Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can use it to upload and download data from Azure blob storage.

Scenario:

Planned Changes include: move the existing product blueprint files to Azure Blob storage.

Technical Requirements include: Copy the blueprint files to Azure over the Internet.

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.
