Exam AZ-103 topic 16 question 75 discussion

According to the link provided in the solution: "Create a resource group. An Azure resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources are deployed and managed. A resource group must be created "before" a virtual machine." According to the question: "What can you configure "DURING" the deployment of VM2?" Isn't the "Administrator Usename"? It is asking what we can configure "DURING" the deployment, and not before it. That's why I think answer C is correct as provided.

D. If you try to deploy your own template in the portal, there are 3 available options - "Subscription", "Resource Group", "Location". Resource group is the only one of the three options available in this list of answers.

From Udemy: Explanation Correct Answer(s): When deploying a virtual machine from a saved template, you must specify the Resource Group name.

Not a ARm expert but logically makes sense. What is the point if the template can only be used for VM deployment in one RG? Now admin pwd could be another option that comes to mind but generally admin details are fetched from KeyVault. You can change them in the keyvault if you need a different admin cred.

Maybe I am wrong but But i am thinking the Answer is D: Te logical Answer is between C and D. Now , the question is saying the template is belonging to an existing and running Windows Server 2019 . So they made an export of an existing VM , or exported the Template when completing the setup.So the template comes with the Admin Username already , so you can configure it . So Answer is D: Please see below Export i did of an existing VM osProfile": { "computerName": "[parameters('virtualMachines_Az_104_name')]", "adminUsername": "az104Admin", "windowsConfiguration": { "provisionVMAgent": true, "enableAutomaticUpdates": true, "patchSettings": { "patchMode": "AutomaticByOS", "assessmentMode": "ImageDefault", "enableHotpatching": false }

Correct answer is C. Because from here you can see that only the administrator username is presented in the list of answers: New-AzResourceGroupDeployment ` -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName ` -TemplateUri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/master/101-vm-simple-windows/azuredeploy.json" ` -adminUsername $adminUsername ` -adminPassword $adminPassword ` -dnsLabelPrefix $dnsLabelPrefix D is incorrect because it says 'resource group' and not 'resource group name'.

Below cmds are for deploying VM from template. # Set deployment variables $myNum = "001" # Modify this per deployment $RGName = "myRG$myNum" $myLocation = "yourregion" # local for the ASDK # Create resource group for template deployment New-AzResourceGroup -Name $RGName -Location $myLocation # Deploy simple IaaS template New-AzResourceGroupDeployment ` -Name myDeployment$myNum ` -ResourceGroupName $RGName ` -TemplateUri <path>\AzureStack-QuickStart-Templates\101-vm-windows-create\azuredeploy.json ` -AdminUsername <username> ` -AdminPassword ("<password>" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force) Clearly,,, you can provide resource group, admins username, password........ SO both C and D are valid.

During the deployment you configure BOTH, adminuser + RG: New-AzResourceGroupDeployment ` -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName ` -TemplateUri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/master/101-vm-simple-windows/azuredeploy.json" ` -adminUsername $adminUsername ` -adminPassword $adminPassword ` -dnsLabelPrefix $dnsLabelPrefix The RG must be setup BEFORE but you configure the VM to be deployed to it. It is very vague to say for sure that admin data is the (only) correct anwser...

D. resource group

Tested... answer is (D) RG...It will ask for subscription, RG (we can select existing or create a new one) and location.

While I try to deploy a VM from a template , it gives 3 things: a) Subscription name (by default filled , but can be changed) b) Resource Group (empty) c) Location (Filled but editable) ..another thing : Name of VM is also editable...nowhere it asks for admin creds

D - Resource Group: Create a virtual machine from template Creating an Azure virtual machine usually includes two steps: Create a resource group. An Azure resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources are deployed and managed. A resource group must be created before a virtual machine. Create a virtual machine.

The correct is D, resource group.

Exporting a VM template creates only 3 parameters - VM name, osDiskId, networkInterfaceId.
