A department has 10 subscriptions and wants the same two governance rules applied to all current and future subscriptions. One rule audits missing tags, and the other denies unapproved locations. Which two actions should the administrator take? Select two.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Best answer

Create an Azure Policy initiative that contains both policy definitions.

An initiative groups multiple related policies into a single package, which makes it easier to manage the department's governance rules together.

B

Best answer

Assign the initiative at the management group scope.

Management group scope ensures the governance rules apply broadly across all current and future subscriptions that are placed under that hierarchy.

C

Distractor review

Assign each policy only to one resource group.

A resource group assignment would be too narrow and would not cover all subscriptions in the department. It also fragments governance.

D

Distractor review

Use Azure RBAC instead of Policy for both requirements.

RBAC controls access permissions, not compliance rules such as location restrictions or tag auditing. These are policy scenarios, not authorization scenarios.

E

Distractor review

Create a read-only lock on each subscription.

A lock is not a substitute for policy. It does not audit tags or selectively deny disallowed regions; it mainly protects resources from change.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-104 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Create an Azure Policy initiative that contains both policy definitions. — A policy initiative is the best way to package the two related governance rules so they can be managed together. Assigning the initiative at the management group scope applies both rules across the department's subscription hierarchy and automatically covers future subscriptions that are added beneath it. This is the most scalable governance design. Why others are wrong: A single resource group is too narrow for department-wide governance across many subscriptions. RBAC cannot enforce tag or location compliance, and locks do not perform policy evaluation. The requirement is to centralize compliance rules, so initiative plus management group scope is the correct combination.
