Question 111

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 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender XDR. From the Microsoft Defender portal, you perform an audit search and export the results as a file named File1.csv that contains 10,000 rows. You use Microsoft Excel to perform Get & Transform Data operations to parse the AuditData column from File1.csv. The operations fail to generate columns for specific JSON properties. You need to ensure that Excel generates columns for the specific JSON properties in the audit search results. Solution: From Defender, you modify the search criteria of the audit search to increase the number of returned records, and then you export the results. From Excel, you perform the Get & Transform Data operations by using the new export. Does this meet the requirement?

A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Excel Get & Transform only generates columns for JSON properties found within the first 1,000 rows of the exported CSV. Increasing the number of returned audit records makes the problem worse, not better, because properties appearing after the first 1,000 rows still won’t be turned into columns. To meet the requirement, the search must be narrowed so fewer records are returned, not increased.

Question 112

You have an Azure subscription that contains a resource group named RG1. RG1 contains a Microsoft Sentinel workspace. The subscription is linked to a Microsoft Entra tenant that contains a user named User1. You need to ensure that User1 can deploy and customize Microsoft Sentinel workbook templates. The solution must follow the principle of least privilege. Which role should you assign to User1 for RG1?

A. Microsoft Sentinel Contributor
B. Workbook Contributor
C. Microsoft Sentinel Automation Contributor
D. Contributor
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Deploying and customizing Microsoft Sentinel workbook templates requires permissions to create, update, and delete workbooks and workbook templates. The Azure Monitor Workbook Contributor role includes Microsoft.Insights/workbooks and Microsoft.Insights/workbooktemplates read/write/delete permissions, which is exactly what is needed. It does not grant broader Sentinel or resource group management rights, satisfying the principle of least privilege. Other roles either grant unnecessary Sentinel-wide or resource group permissions or are unrelated to workbooks.

Question 113

HOTSPOT - You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender XDR. You need to create a custom detection rule that will identify devices that had more than five antivirus detections within the last 24 hours. How should you complete the query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-200 question 113
Show Answer
Correct Answer: ReportId ReportId
Explanation:
The query uses arg_max(Timestamp, ReportId) to return the latest antivirus detection per device while preserving a unique event identifier. Summarizing by DeviceId and applying count() allows identification of devices with more than five antivirus detections in the last 24 hours.

Question 114

HOTSPOT - You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that uses Microsoft Purview and contains a Microsoft SharePoint Online site named Site1. Site1 contains the files shown in the following table. From Microsoft Purview, you create the content search queries shown in the following table. For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: Search1 will return File3: No Search2 will return File1: Yes Search3 will return File2: No
Explanation:
Search1 requires Author User1 and .xlsx; File3 is User3, so it doesn’t match. Search2 uses a quoted wildcard and lowercase 'and', so the conditions are treated as OR; FileExtension:* matches all files, including File1. Search3 searches for the exact literal "User1..3", which matches no author, so File2 isn’t returned.

Question 115

HOTSPOT - You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 and contains a Windows device named Device1. Twenty files on Device1 are quarantined by custom indicators as part of an investigation. You need to release the 20 files from quarantine. How should you complete the command? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-200 question 115
Show Answer
Correct Answer: MpCmdRun.exe -Restore
Explanation:
Use the Microsoft Defender command-line utility to restore quarantined items. The -Restore switch releases files from quarantine; with the indicator name and -All, all 20 files are restored.

Question 116

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 and contains 500 Windows devices. As part of an incident investigation, you identify the following suspected malware files: • sys • pdf • docx • xlsx You need to create indicator hashes to block users from downloading the files to the devices. Which files can you block by using the indicator hashes?

A. File1.sys only
B. File1.sys and File3.docx only
C. File1.sys, File3.docx, and File4.xlsx only
D. File2.pdf, File3.docx, and File4.xlsx only
E. File1.sys, File2.pdf, File3.docx, and File4.xlsx
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
In Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2, file hash indicators can block only portable executable (PE) files. Supported PE formats include executables such as .exe, .dll, and .sys. Non-executable document types like .pdf, .docx, and .xlsx are not supported for blocking via file hash indicators. Therefore, only the .sys file can be blocked using indicator hashes.

Question 117

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender XDR. The security team at your company detects command and control (C2) agent traffic on the network. Agents communicate once every 50 hours. You need to create a Microsoft Defender XDR custom detection rule that will identify compromised devices and establish a pattern of communication. The solution must meet the following requirements: • Identify all the devices that have communicated during the past 14 days. • Minimize how long it takes to identify the devices. To what should you set the detection frequency for the rule?

A. Every 12 hours
B. Every 24 hours
C. Every three hours
D. Every hour
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
In Microsoft Defender XDR, detection frequency determines both how often the rule runs and the built‑in lookback window. Only **Every 24 hours** includes a **30‑day lookback**, which safely covers the required **past 14 days** and the **50‑hour C2 beacon interval**. Shorter frequencies (hourly, 3‑hour, 12‑hour) use much smaller lookback windows (4–48 hours) and could miss infrequent C2 activity or delayed telemetry. Therefore, every 24 hours is the correct setting.

Question 118

You have 500 on-premises Windows 11 devices that use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. You enable Network device discovery. You need to create a hunting query that will identify discovered network devices and return the identity of the onboarded device that discovered each network device. Which built-in function should you use?

A. SeenBy()
B. DeviceFromIP()
C. next()
D. current_cluster_endpoint()
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
The SeenBy() built-in function in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint advanced hunting returns the onboarded device(s) that discovered a given network device. This directly satisfies the requirement to identify discovered network devices and map each one to the device that observed it.

Question 119

HOTSPOT - You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender XDR and contains a Windows device named Device1. You investigate Device1 for malicious activity and discover a suspicious file named File1.exe. You collect an investigation package from Device1. You need to review the following forensic data points: • Is an attacker currently accessing Device1 remotely? • When was File1.exe first executed? Which folder in the investigation package should you review for each data point? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-200 question 119
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Is an attacker currently accessing Device1 remotely: Network connections When was File1.exe first executed: Prefetch files
Explanation:
Active or recent remote access is identified by reviewing network session data in the Network connections folder. The first execution time of an executable can be determined from Windows Prefetch files, which are created on initial run and contain execution timestamps.
