AZ-204 Certification Practice Question #165

Question

You have 100 Azure virtual machines (VMs) with the system-assigned managed identity enabled.

You need to identify the value of the object ID attribute for each of the identities.

Which command should you use?

Accepted Answer

System-assigned managed identities for VMs expose the `identity.principalId` (object ID) as a property of the VM resource itself. `Get-AzResource` fetches the Azure resource and includes the `Identity.PrincipalId` property, which is the object ID. The CLI equivalent is `az resource show`. The other options query Azure AD user/SP data, not VM resource properties. Suggested Answer and Most Voted (3 votes) both agree on D with no dissent.
