Exam MD-101 topic 2 question 22 discussion

My first choise was answer A, but after reading: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/agent-windows The answer is D

I think it should be B because the machine is in Workgroup. So, even if you install Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA) you would need to configure the machine to grants access to a remote service.

Correct

i think i can join to azure AD and can use Log Analytics to query events

The correct answer is D. Install the Microsoft Monitoring Agent. To enable Log Analytics to query events from Computer1, you need to install the Microsoft Monitoring Agent on the computer. The Microsoft Monitoring Agent allows you to collect and send data from the computer to the Log Analytics workspace. Option A (Configure the commercial ID) is not relevant to configuring Log Analytics for querying events from Computer1. Option B (Join Azure Active Directory) is not necessary for this scenario. Joining Azure Active Directory is typically done for managing user identities and access control. Option C (Create an event subscription) is not the correct action in this case. Creating an event subscription is used for forwarding events to another destination, not for configuring Log Analytics on a local computer. Therefore, the correct action to enable Log Analytics querying on Computer1 is to install the Microsoft Monitoring Agent (option D).

Checked with Chap gpt and answer D makes sense and works when only in a workgroup.

To ensure that you can use Log Analytics to query events from Computer1, you should install the Microsoft Monitoring Agent on Computer1. The Microsoft Monitoring Agent is a lightweight agent that can be installed on Windows computers to collect data and send it to Log Analytics. It enables the monitoring of the performance and health of Windows computers, including the collection of event logs, performance counters, and custom logs.

i think answer should be B, based on the Prerequisites of azure monitoring agent: -The machine must be running Windows client OS version 10 RS4 or higher. -To download the installer, the machine should have C++ Redistributable version 2015) or higher -The machine must be domain joined to an Azure AD tenant (AADj or Hybrid AADj machines), which enables the agent to fetch Azure AD device tokens used to authenticate and fetch data collection rules from Azure. You may need tenant admin permissions on the Azure AD tenant. The device must have access to the following HTTPS endpoints: and etc.. reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/azure-monitor-agent-windows-client hope i'm not missing something here

D: D https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/agents/log-analytics-agent

D = Correct

Log analytics Agent only work on VM (cloud or local) . for me computer needs to join Azure Ad . answer B.

From Loga Analytics Workspace, you download the appropiate Agent that must be installed. While installing the Agent, you must paste the Workspace ID and Primary key you copy from the same place. So = D.

Just to add - Not for making query

it is Install the Microsoft Monitoring Agent, you need commercial ID to enrol computer in windows analytics
