You need to allow RDP access from the internet to a Windows VM named VM-Admin01 in Azure. The VM already has a public IP address. Which additional configuration is required?

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

A private DNS zone

Private DNS zones affect name resolution, not inbound RDP access from the internet.

B

Best answer

An NSG rule allowing inbound TCP 3389

RDP requires an inbound allow rule for TCP 3389.

C

Distractor review

A user-defined route to Azure Monitor

Routing to Azure Monitor does not affect RDP access.

D

Distractor review

A blob lifecycle management rule

Blob lifecycle rules are unrelated to virtual machine connectivity.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: usable hosts are not the same as total addresses

Subnetting questions often tempt you into counting all addresses. In normal IPv4 subnets, the network and broadcast addresses are not usable host addresses.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

Subnetting questions test whether you can identify the network, broadcast address, usable range, mask and correct subnet. Slow down enough to calculate the block size correctly.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • CIDR notation defines the prefix length.
  • Block size helps identify subnet boundaries.
  • Network and broadcast addresses are not usable hosts in normal IPv4 subnets.
  • The required host count determines the smallest suitable subnet.

TExam Day Tips

  • Write the block size before choosing the subnet.
  • Check whether the question asks for hosts, subnets or a specific address range.
  • Do not confuse /24, /25, /26 and /27 host counts.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-104 question test?

CIDR notation defines the prefix length.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: An NSG rule allowing inbound TCP 3389 — Inbound RDP requires an NSG rule that allows TCP port 3389 to the virtual machine or subnet. A route table or private DNS zone does not open the port.
