Question 1hardmultiple choice
Full question →hardmultiple choiceObjective-mapped
A storage account has a blob private endpoint in VNet-A. A VM in peered VNet-B can reach the storage account by private IP, but name resolution for the storage account still returns the public IP address. The private DNS zone privatelink.blob.core.windows.net is already linked only to VNet-A. What should the administrator do next?
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
Distractor review
Create a second private endpoint in VNet-B for the same storage account.
A second private endpoint is not required just to fix name resolution in the peered network. The existing endpoint can be shared through DNS if the zone is linked correctly.
B
Distractor review
Enable a service endpoint on VNet-B and remove the private endpoint.
A service endpoint does not create a private IP address for the service. Removing the private endpoint would change the connectivity model and would not solve the current DNS issue.
C
Distractor review
Add a user-defined route in VNet-B that points the storage FQDN to the private IP.
User-defined routes work with IP prefixes, not with DNS names. A route table cannot rewrite the result of name resolution.
D
Best answer
Create a virtual network link from the private DNS zone to VNet-B.
Private endpoint access depends on correct DNS resolution to the private endpoint IP. Because the private DNS zone is linked only to VNet-A, VNet-B does not receive the private name mapping. Linking the zone to VNet-B allows resources in the peered VNet to resolve the blob endpoint name to the private IP as intended.
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: Create a virtual network link from the private DNS zone to VNet-B. — The private endpoint already works at the IP layer, so the remaining issue is DNS scope. Private DNS zones must be linked to every virtual network that needs to resolve the privatelink name to the private endpoint address. Peering alone does not share private DNS zone resolution. Linking the zone to VNet-B makes the storage account name resolve privately without adding another endpoint. Why others are wrong: Creating another private endpoint is unnecessary and adds extra management. A service endpoint would keep using the public service endpoint and does not fix private DNS resolution. A route table cannot map a hostname to an IP address, so it cannot correct the lookup result. The real problem is the missing virtual network link for the private DNS zone.
