RG-Prod is locked during a change freeze with a CanNotDelete lock. Administrators still need to keep the environment healthy without removing the lock. Which three actions can still be completed? Select three.

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

Change the size of an existing virtual machine in the resource group.

CanNotDelete blocks deletion, but it does not block normal write operations such as resizing an existing VM.

B

Distractor review

Delete an unused storage account from the resource group.

Deleting a resource is exactly what a CanNotDelete lock prevents.

C

Best answer

Add or update a tag on an existing resource.

Tag updates are write operations, and CanNotDelete does not stop non-delete changes.

D

Distractor review

Delete the entire resource group to rebuild it from scratch.

The lock protects both the group and the resources from deletion until the lock is removed.

E

Best answer

Create a new storage account in the locked resource group.

Creating resources is allowed because CanNotDelete only prevents deletion, not deployment of new resources.

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: Change the size of an existing virtual machine in the resource group. — A CanNotDelete lock is designed to prevent accidental deletion, not to freeze all configuration changes. Administrators can still resize VMs, update tags, and deploy new resources into the locked resource group. This makes it useful during maintenance windows or freezes where the environment must stay intact but still requires operational updates. Only delete operations are blocked unless the lock itself is removed. Why others are wrong: Deleting a resource or the entire resource group is blocked by CanNotDelete, so those requests fail. The lock is narrower than ReadOnly and does not stop normal configuration updates. That distinction is important because many administrators incorrectly assume every lock prevents all changes.
