Discuss Microsoft AZ-104 Exam Topic 12 Question 37

You have an Active Directory forest named contoso.com.

You install and configure Azure AD Connect to use password hash synchronization as the single sign-on (SSO) method. Staging mode is enabled.

You review the synchronization results and discover that the Synchronization Service Manager does not display any sync jobs.

You need to ensure that the synchronization completes successfully.

What should you do?

AFrom Synchronization Service Manager, run a full import.

BRun Azure AD Connect and set the SSO method to Pass-through Authentication.

CFrom Azure PowerShell, run Start-AdSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial.

DRun Azure AD Connect and disable staging mode.

Suggested Answer: D

Staging mode must be disabled. If the Azure AD Connect server is in staging mode, password hash synchronization is temporarily disabled.

No way, I thought Pass-through Authentication was the way to go!

Running a full import might help too.

Wait, I thought staging mode was just for testing?

Claribel 1 year ago

I agree, staging mode can block sync jobs.

Micheline 1 year ago

You need to disable staging mode for sync to work.

I feel like switching to Pass-through Authentication could be an option, but I don't recall if that directly affects sync jobs.

I practiced a similar question where we had to start a sync cycle using PowerShell. That might be the way to go here too.

I think running a full import from the Synchronization Service Manager might help, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right step.

I remember that staging mode is used for testing, so maybe we need to disable it to allow sync jobs to run.

This seems like a straightforward question about the advantages of using a DBMS. I'll focus on identifying the four key advantages listed in the options.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Cognos has a lot of different tools and components, so I'll need to carefully consider each option.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. The key is to facilitate the discussion and make sure everyone is on the same page. Option A seems like the most practical solution to address any "verbal handshaking" issues.

Two witnesses makes total sense for legal documentation. I'd lean towards ruling out option A as a good practice, not a bad one.
