Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in
the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets stated goals.
You have a mission-critical application that stores data in a Microsoft SQL Server instance. The application
runs several financial reports. The reports use a SQL Server-authenticated login named Reporting_User. All
queries that write data to the database use Windows authentication.
Users report that the queries used to provide data for the financial reports take a long time to complete. The
queries consume the majority of CPU and memory resources on the database server. As a result, read-write
queries for the application also take a long time to complete.
You need to improve performance of the application while still allowing the report queries to finish.
Solution: You create a snapshot of the database. You configure all report queries to use the database
snapshot.
Does the solution meet the goal?

A company has an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server 2014 environment. The company has a main office in
Seattle, and remote offices in Amsterdam and Tokyo. You plan to deploy a Microsoft Azure SQL Database
instance to support a new application. You expect to have 100 users from each office.
In the past, users at remote sites reported issues when they used applications hosted at the Seattle office.You need to optimize performance for users running reports while minimizing costs.
What should you do?

DRAG DROP
You deploy a new Microsoft Azure SQL Database instance to support a variety of mobile applications and
public websites. You plan to create a new security principal named User1.
The principal must have access to select all current and future objects in a database named Reporting. The
activity and authentication of the database user must be limited to the Reporting database.
You need to create the new security principal.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of
actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

DRAG DROP
A new Azure Active Directory security principal named ReportUser@contoso.onmicrosoft.com should have
access to select all current and future objects in the Reporting database. You should not grant the principal
any other permissions. You should use your Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) account to authenticate
to the Azure SQL database.
You need to create the new security principal.

You are deploying a Microsoft SQL Server database that will support a mixed OLTP and OLAP workload. The
target virtual machine has four CPUs.
You need to ensure that reports do not use all available system resources.

question.
You deploy Microsoft SQL Server to a virtual machine in Azure. You distribute the database files and filegroups
across multiple Azure storage disks.
You must be able to manage the databases as individual entities by using SQL Server Management Studio. Alldata in the databases must be stored encrypted. Backups must be encrypted by using the same key as the live
copy of the database.
You need to secure the data.

Your company has several Microsoft Azure SQL Database instances.
Data encryption should be allowed to be implemented by the client applications that access the data. Encryption
keys should not be made available to the database engine.
You need to configure the database.

You manage on-premises and Microsoft Azure SQL Database instances for a company. Your environment
must support the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 ODBS driver.
You need to encrypt only specific columns in the database.
What should you implement?

You plan to deploy 20 Microsoft Azure SQL Database instances to an elastic pool in Azure to support a batch
processing application.
Two of the databases in the pool reach their peak workload threshold at the same time every day. This leads to
inconsistent performance for batch completion.
You need to ensure that all batches perform consistently.
What should you do?

You manage a Microsoft SQL Server environment in a Microsoft Azure virtual machine.
You must enable Always Encrypted for columns in a database.
You need to configure the key store provider.
