Question #: 1
Topic #: 5
[All NCP-MCI (6.10) Questions]

An administrator needs to enable Windows Defender Credential Guard to comply with company policy.

The new VM configurations include:

Legacy BIOS

4 vCPUs

8 GB RAM

Windows Server 2019

What must be changed in order to properly enable Windows Defender Credential Guard?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Windows Defender Credential Guard requires UEFI firmware and Secure Boot to function properly.

Option B (Enable UEFI with Secure Boot) is correct:

Credential Guard requires a UEFI-based boot mode rather than Legacy BIOS.

Secure Boot ensures only trusted OS components load, reducing attack surface for credential theft.

Option A (Update vCPU to 8) is incorrect:

Increasing vCPUs does not impact Credential Guard compatibility.

Option C (Use Windows Server 2022) is incorrect:

Windows Server 2019 supports Credential Guard; upgrading to 2022 is not required.

Option D (Update Memory to 16GB) is incorrect:

Credential Guard has no minimum RAM requirement beyond general OS needs.

I don't think increasing the vCPUs or RAM is necessary, but I can't recall if Secure Boot is mandatory for Credential Guard.

I think we need to enable UEFI with Secure Boot for Credential Guard to work, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only requirement.

I'm pretty confident the answer is to enable UEFI with Secure Boot. That's the key requirement for Credential Guard, and the Legacy BIOS configuration needs to be updated to support that.

Okay, let me think this through. The VM has Legacy BIOS, so I don't think updating the vCPUs or memory would help enable Credential Guard. I'm leaning towards the UEFI with Secure Boot option, but I'll double-check the requirements to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. The question says the VM has Legacy BIOS, so would that mean I need to update to UEFI? I'm not sure if that's the right approach.

I'd choose B too. Upgrading to UEFI with Secure Boot is the only way to go. It's like trying to run a Ferrari engine in a Yugo, you know?
