You have a new Azure SQL database named DB1 on an Azure SQL server named AzSQL1. The only user who was created is the server administrator. You need to create a contained database user in DB1 who will use Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for authentication. Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Correct Answer:
1 - Set up the Active Directory Admin for AzSQL1. 2 - Connect to DB1 by using the server administrator. 3 - Create a user by using the FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER clause. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/create-user-transact-sql
Question 57
You have an Azure SQL Database managed instance named SQLMI1. A Microsoft SQL Server Agent job runs on SQLMI1. You need to ensure that an automatic email notification is sent once the job completes. What should you include in the solution?
Correct Answer: C
To send a notification in response to an alert, you must first configure SQL Server Agent to send mail. Using SQL Server Management Studio; to configure SQL Server Agent to use Database Mail: 1. In Object Explorer, expand a SQL Server instance. 2. Right-click SQL Server Agent, and then click Properties. 3. Click Alert System. 4. Select Enable Mail Profile. 5. In the Mail system list, select Database Mail. 6. In the Mail profile list, select a mail profile for Database Mail. 7. Restart SQL Server Agent. Note: Prerequisites include: * Enable Database Mail. * Create a Database Mail account for the SQL Server Agent service account to use. * Create a Database Mail profile for the SQL Server Agent service account to use and add the user to the DatabaseMailUserRole in the msdb database. * Set the profile as the default profile for the msdb database.

Existing Environment Network Environment The manufacturing and research datacenters connect to the primary datacenter by using a VPN. The primary datacenter has an ExpressRoute connection that uses both Microsoft peering and private peering. The private peering connects to an Azure virtual network named HubVNet. Identity Environment Litware has a hybrid Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) deployment that uses a domain named litwareinc.com. All Azure subscriptions are associated to the litwareinc.com Azure AD tenant. Database Environment The sales department has the following database workload: * An on-premises named SERVER1 hosts an instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and two 1-TB databases. * A logical server named SalesSrv01A contains a geo-replicated Azure SQL database named SalesSQLDb1. SalesSQLDb1 is in an elastic pool named SalesSQLDb1Pool. SalesSQLDb1 uses database firewall rules and contained database users. * An application named SalesSQLDb1App1 uses SalesSQLDb1. The manufacturing office contains two on-premises SQL Server 2016 servers named SERVER2 and SERVER3. The servers are nodes in the same Always On availability group. The availability group contains a database named ManufacturingSQLDb1 Database administrators have two Azure virtual machines in HubVnet named VM1 and VM2 that run Windows Server 2019 and are used to manage all the Azure databases. Licensing Agreement Litware is a Microsoft Volume Licensing customer that has License Mobility through Software Assurance. Current Problems SalesSQLDb1 experiences performance issues that are likely due to out-of-date statistics and frequent blocking queries. Requirements Planned Changes Litware plans to implement the following changes: * Implement 30 new databases in Azure, which will be used by time-sensitive manufacturing apps that have varying usage patterns. Each database will be approximately 20 GB. * Create a new Azure SQL database named ResearchDB1 on a logical server named ResearchSrv01. ResearchDB1 will contain Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data. * Develop an app named ResearchApp1 that will be used by the research department to populate and access ResearchDB1. * Migrate ManufacturingSQLDb1 to the Azure virtual machine platform. * Migrate the SERVER1 databases to the Azure SQL Database platform. Technical Requirements Litware identifies the following technical requirements: * Maintenance tasks must be automated. * The 30 new databases must scale automatically. * The use of an on-premises infrastructure must be minimized. * Azure Hybrid Use Benefits must be leveraged for Azure SQL Database deployments. * All SQL Server and Azure SQL Database metrics related to CPU and storage usage and limits must be analyzed by using Azure built-in functionality. Security and Compliance Requirements Litware identifies the following security and compliance requirements: * Store encryption keys in Azure Key Vault. * Retain backups of the PII data for two months. * Encrypt the PII data at rest, in transit, and in use. * Use the principle of least privilege whenever possible. * Authenticate database users by using Active Directory credentials. * Protect Azure SQL Database instances by using database-level firewall rules. * Ensure that all databases hosted in Azure are accessible from VM1 and VM2 without relying on public endpoints. Business Requirements Litware identifies the following business requirements: * Meet an SLA of 99.99% availability for all Azure deployments. * Minimize downtime during the migration of the SERVER1 databases. * Use the Azure Hybrid Use Benefits when migrating workloads to Azure. * Once all requirements are met, minimize costs whenever possible. Plan and Implement a High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HADR) Environment Question Set 2
Question 58
You receive numerous alerts from Azure Monitor for an Azure SQL database. You need to reduce the number of alerts. You must only receive alerts if there is a significant change in usage patterns for an extended period. Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer: B,D
Section: [none] Explanation: B: Dynamic Thresholds continuously learns the data of the metric series and tries to model it using a set of algorithms and methods. It detects patterns in the data such as seasonality (Hourly / Daily / Weekly), and is able to handle noisy metrics (such as machine CPU or memory) as well as metrics with low dispersion (such as availability and error rate). D: Alert threshold sensitivity is a high-level concept that controls the amount of deviation from metric behavior required to trigger an alert. Low - The thresholds will be loose with more distance from metric series pattern. An alert rule will only trigger on large deviations, resulting in fewer alerts. Incorrect Answers: A: High - The thresholds will be tight and close to the metric series pattern. An alert rule will be triggered on the smallest deviation, resulting in more alerts. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/alerts-dynamic-thresholds
Question 59
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You have an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool that contains a table named Table1. You have files that are ingested and loaded into an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 container named container1. You plan to insert data from the files into Table1 and transform the data. Each row of data in the files will produce one row in the serving layer of Table1. You need to ensure that when the source data files are loaded to container1, the DateTime is stored as an additional column in Table1. Solution: You use a dedicated SQL pool to create an external table that has an additional DateTime column. Does this meet the goal?
Correct Answer: B
Section: [none] Explanation: Instead use a serverless SQL pool to create an external table with the extra column. Note: In dedicated SQL pools you can only use Parquet native external tables. Native external tables are generally available in serverless SQL pools.
