A policy initiative is assigned at the Corp management group to enforce allowed locations and required tags. A new subscription is added under Corp later. Which two statements are true? 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

The new subscription is automatically in scope because the assignment is at the management group.

Management group assignments inherit to child subscriptions, including subscriptions added later.

B

Distractor review

The initiative must be copied to every resource group in the new subscription before it takes effect.

A management group assignment already covers the child subscription and its resource groups.

C

Best answer

Existing noncompliant resources appear in Azure Policy compliance, but they are not changed until remediation runs.

Compliance reporting identifies drift, while remediation is the separate step that fixes resources already deployed.

D

Distractor review

The initiative changes RBAC so users lose read access to the subscription.

Policy does not alter authorization to read or manage resources; RBAC handles access control.

E

Distractor review

Compliance results are only visible in Activity Log, not in Azure Policy.

Azure Policy has its own compliance views; Activity Log is not the only reporting source.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
  • Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.

TExam Day Tips

  • Underline the problem statement mentally.
  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-104 question test?

Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: The new subscription is automatically in scope because the assignment is at the management group. — A policy assignment at a management group flows down to child subscriptions, so a later-added subscription is automatically covered. Azure Policy will also show compliance status for existing resources, but it does not silently fix already deployed noncompliant items. Remediation is a separate operational step. This question tests the difference between inherited scope, compliance reporting, and actual resource correction. Why others are wrong: Policy at the management group does not need to be manually duplicated to each resource group. It also does not change RBAC permissions, and compliance visibility is available through Azure Policy dashboards, not only the Activity Log. The key distinction is inheritance plus reporting, not access control.
