You have an on-premises network.
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender for Identity.
From the Microsoft Defender portal, you investigate an incident on a device named Device1 of a user named User1. The incident contains the following Defender for Identity alert.
Suspected identity theft (pass-the-ticket) (external ID 2018)
You need to contain the incident without affecting users and devices. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you do?
A. Disable User1 only.
B. Quarantine Device1 only.
C. Reset the password for all the accounts that previously signed in to Device1.
D. Disable User1 and quarantine Device1.
E. Disable User1, quarantine Device1, and reset the password for all the accounts that previously signed in to Device1.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The question emphasizes containing the incident without affecting users and devices and minimizing administrative effort. A pass-the-ticket alert indicates a stolen Kerberos ticket was reused. Among the available response actions, quarantining the compromised device isolates it from the network while avoiding disabling user accounts or resetting multiple passwords, which are more disruptive. Although a broader incident response may include account remediation, the exam asks for the least disruptive containment action.

Question 167
You have 500 on-premises devices.
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender 365.
You onboard 100 devices to Microsoft Defender 365.
You need to identify any unmanaged on-premises devices. The solution must ensure that only specific onboarded devices perform the discovery.
What should you do first?
A. Create a device group.
B. Create an exclusion.
C. Set Discovery mode to Basic.
D. Create a tag.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: To ensure that only specific onboarded devices perform device discovery, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint uses device tags to designate which devices run Standard discovery. The first step is to create a device tag, assign it to the intended discovery devices, and then configure Device discovery to use only devices with that tag. Setting Discovery mode to Basic changes the discovery method but does not restrict discovery to specific devices. Device groups and exclusions do not control which devices perform Standard discovery.
Question 168
You have an Azure subscription.
You need to stream the Microsoft Graph activity logs to a third-party security information and event management (SIEM) tool. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
To where should you stream the logs?
A. an Azure Event Hubs namespace
B. an Azure Storage account
C. an Azure Event Grid namespace
D. a Log Analytics workspace
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Microsoft Graph activity logs can be streamed directly to Azure Event Hubs for integration with third-party SIEM solutions. Log Analytics is used for analysis within Azure, while Azure Storage is for archival, and Event Grid is not the supported streaming destination for this scenario.
Question 169
HOTSPOT
-
You have an Azure subscription that contains 50 virtual machines.
You plan to deploy Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
You need to enable agentless scanning for 40 virtual machines. The solution must create disk snapshots of the virtual machines and perform out-of-band analysis of the snapshots.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Defender CSPM
Tagging
Explanation: Agentless scanning that creates disk snapshots and performs out-of-band analysis is enabled through the Defender CSPM plan (also available with Defender for Servers P2, but among the listed options only Defender CSPM fits). To exclude specific VMs, use resource tags, which Defender for Cloud supports for excluding machines from agentless scanning.
Question 170
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains a device named Device1. Device1 is enrolled in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
Device1 reports an incident that includes a file named File1.exe as evidence.
You initiate the Collect Investigation Package action and download the ZIP file.
You need to identify the first and last time File1.exe was executed.
What should you review in the investigation package?
A. Processes
B. Autoruns
C. Security event log
D. Scheduled tasks
E. Prefetch files
Show Answer
Correct Answer: E
Explanation: Prefetch files record application execution metadata, including execution count and timestamps that can be used to determine the first and most recent execution of an executable. The investigation package includes prefetch data, making it the appropriate artifact to review for File1.exe execution history.
Question 171
You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 and contains a macOS device named Device1.
You need to investigate a Defender for Endpoint agent alert on Device1. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• Identify all the active network connections on Device1.
• Identify all the running processes on Device1.
• Retrieve the login history of Device1.
• Minimize administrative effort.
What should you do first from the Microsoft Defender portal?
A. From Devices, click Collect investigation package for Device1.
B. From Advanced features in Endpoints, enable Live Response unsigned script execution.
C. From Devices, initiate a live response session on Device1.
D. From Advanced features in Endpoints, disable Authenticated telemetry.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Collecting an investigation package from the device is the best first step because it automatically gathers forensic artifacts including running processes, active network connections, system and user information (including login-related artifacts), minimizing administrative effort compared to an interactive Live Response session. Enabling unsigned script execution or disabling authenticated telemetry are unrelated to the stated requirements.
Question 172
Your on-premises network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest.
You have a Microsoft Entra tenant that uses Microsoft Defender for Identity. The AD DS forest syncs with the tenant.
You need to create a hunting query that will identify LDAP simple binds to the AD DS domain controllers.
Which table should you query?
A. AADServicePrincipalRiskEvents
B. AADDomainServicesAccountLogon
C. SigninLogs
D. IdentityLogonEvents
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The IdentityLogonEvents table in Microsoft Defender for Identity contains on-premises Active Directory authentication activity, including LDAP protocol details such as simple binds. AADDomainServicesAccountLogon is for Microsoft Entra Domain Services, SigninLogs is for Microsoft Entra sign-ins, and AADServicePrincipalRiskEvents is unrelated to LDAP authentication.
Question 173
HOTSPOT -
You have a Microsoft Sentinel workspace that has a default data retention period of 30 days. The workspace contains two custom tables as shown in the following table.
Each table ingested two records per day during the past 365 days.
You build KQL statements for use in analytic rules as 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: No
No
No
Explanation: Interactive retention, not total retention, determines what standard KQL queries can access. Table1 can return 15 days of data without changing to Analytics. Query2 already has sufficient total retention but lacks extended interactive retention; changing total retention alone does not help. Query3 also requires longer interactive access, not merely increasing total retention.
Question 174
DRAG DROP
-
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that uses Microsoft Exchange Online.
You need to identify phishing email messages.
Which three cmdlets should you run in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate cmdlets from the list of cmdlets to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Explanation: Connect to the Security & Compliance PowerShell session, create a compliance search to locate phishing messages, then start the search.
Question 175
You have an Azure subscription that contains a Microsoft Sentinel workspace named WS1 and 100 virtual machines that run Windows Server.
You need to configure the collection of Windows Security event logs for ingestion to WS1. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• Capture a full user audit trail including user sign-in and user sign-out events.
• Minimize the volume of events.
• Minimize administrative effort.
Which event set should you select?
A. Minimal
B. Common
C. All events
D. Custom
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The correct choice is Common. The Common event set is designed to provide a full user audit trail, including user sign-in (4624) and sign-out (4634) events, while filtering out many lower-value events to reduce ingestion volume. Minimal does not include the complete audit trail, All events generates unnecessary volume, and Custom requires additional administrative effort, which conflicts with the requirements.
