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.

It is little confusing. But with the explanation from Kallandor, it seems C is the correct answer. But i am not 100% sure.

Correction.... I have tested it by creating a ARM template and when I click on Deploy for that template, first thing which it has asked me is to provide the Resource Group Name. This has given an option to select the existing Resource Group name or also an option to create the new resource group name. I believe Resource Group is also part of the Deployment process, so D is the correct answer.

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.

However if you edit the template directly, you can change the administrator username.= inside of the template file. Not really sure, seems like a poorly worded question.

I think I finally understand what this question is asking. You can configure the creds, VM, and OS in the template file. You edit the RESOURCE GROUP in the DEPLOYMENT process. $templateFile = "{provide-the-path-to-the-template-file}" New-AzResourceGroupDeployment ` -Name blanktemplate ` -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup ` -TemplateFile $templateFile The above command is outside of the template for the DEPLOYMENT of said template.

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.

The question is asking what you're doing during the DEPLOYMENT of the template. The creds are inside the template you're deploying. This is how you would DEPLOY a template: $templateFile = "{provide-the-path-to-the-template-file}" New-AzResourceGroupDeployment ` -Name blanktemplate ` -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroup ` -TemplateFile $templateFile

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'.

But you do have the option to "Create New" below the field for the resource group name, which in theory would be the same as "configure". So you are given the option to configure a resource group.

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: 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.
