Correct Answer: B Status is Stopped (Deallocated). The DSC extension for Windows requires that the target Virtual Machine is able to communicate with Azure. First you start the VM, because you need VM online to deploy DSC Extension. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/dsc-windows

Came in 01/09/21 exam. Passed exam with 906 marks. 98% of the questions are from this dump.

I don't consider this "a dump", actually. I believe the vast majority of people here (me included) are actually studying for the exam hard (reading online documentation, experimenting in their Azure subscription, etc.) and using this just as a way to plug the holes in their knowledge (as one simply can't know every single detail and possible scenario regarding Azure).

100$ agreed Alex. Secondly I dont understand why is Microsoft testing this kind of stupidity? They should give us simulations and ask to solve the problems, make the exam 2 Hours - 10 - 15 simulations and 10 - 15 straight forward questions based on what they have actually published rather than wondering all the time what are they going to ask.

You are 100% right, I actually think the creators of this put wrong answers intentionally, in order to challenge you and make you work and study hard to find the correct solution. Going in the exam without study at all and depend on this THING is suicide!

Agree, here all we can get is how Microsoft structured their exam, and we do not get absolute ansers from here, it require candidates have the knowledge to make extra effort for securing the exam.
