AZ-104 Certification Practice Question #225

Question

You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1. Subscription1 contains a virtual machine named VM1.
You have a computer named Computer1 that runs Windows 10. Computer1 is connected to the Internet.
You add a network interface named vm1173 to VM1 as shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit tab.)

From Computer1, you attempt to connect to VM1 by using Remote Desktop, but the connection fails.
You need to establish a Remote Desktop connection to VM1.
What should you do first?

Accepted Answer

The exhibit shows that the network interface `vm1173` is attached, and the associated NSG `VM1-nsg` already contains an inbound rule allowing RDP traffic on port 3389 with a priority of 300 (which overrides the default `DenyAllInBound` rule). However, the public IP address is shown as `VM1-ip` (the name of the IP resource) instead of a numeric IP address. This indicates that the virtual machine is currently in a stopped (deallocated) state, causing its dynamic public IP to be unassigned. To connect, VM1 must first be started, which will boot the OS and assign a dynamic public IP.
