Study Notes

Changing Usage Model in Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server

It is not possible to change the usage model of an existing Multi-Factor Authentication provider
To change the usage model, a new provider must be created and existing data must be backed up and restored to this new provider.
Multi-Factor Authentication usage model settings can be changed to Per Authentication or Per Enabled User, but not directly from one to the other on an existing provider.

Deploying Virtual Machines

A virtual machine requires one network interface per public and private IP address.
A minimum of five network interfaces are needed for five virtual machines that each have both a private and a public IP address.
Inbound and outbound security rules for all of these virtual machines must be identical, but this requirement doesn't impact the number of network interfaces needed.

Using Security Groups in Azure

One security group can be used for five virtual machines with identical inbound and outbound security rules.
The security rules don't have to be specific to the virtual machine's IP address, so a single security group can apply to multiple machines within a virtual network.

Azure Backup Instant Restore

Azure Backup Instant Restore allows you to restore files from an infected virtual machine to the same machine
Users can restore files to any VM within the company's subscription.
The VM restore is only valid for the same subscription.

Azure Advisor and Cost Optimisation

Azure Advisor helps you optimize your Azure costs by identifying idle and underutilized resources.
Cost recommendations can be found in the Cost tab of the Advisor dashboard.

Azure Active Directory Conditional Access Policies

Azure Active Directory conditional access policies require three settings to be configured:
- Cloud Apps or Actions (Set to Azure Portal)
- Users and Groups (Select the group of users or individual user requiring MFA)
- Grant (Select Require multi-factor authentication)
These settings will enforce multi-factor authentication for access to the Azure portal for the selected users.

External Collaboration in Azure Active Directory

External collaboration settings are used to invite external users to sign in to the Azure AD tenant.
To enable external collaboration, a user with User administrator role is required.

Assigning Policies to a Management Group

Users need Owner or Contributor role to assign policies to a management group.
The management group must be set as the root to ensure that policies can be effectively applied.
