First, I’d check the CVE details in Defender to confirm the active exploit. Then create an alert to notify the right team. Finally, assign the remediation task so they can start fixing it.

Question No. 2
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender XDR and contains a user
named User1.
You need to ensure that User1 can manage Microsoft Defender XDR custom detection rules and
Endpoint security policies. The solution must follow the principle of least privilege.
Which role should you assign to User1?

C, because Security Administrator handles both detection rules and endpoint policies properly.

I’m thinking A might be off since Desktop Analytics Admin is more about analytics, not security rules. Could B be too limited if it mainly covers monitoring? Wondering if D grants more device control than security policy rights.

I think option C might fit since it aligns with the latest ASIM DNS schema updates I've seen, especially on how request fields are handled. B is solid but could miss newer attributes important in Sentinel.

Question No. 4Drag & Drop

DRAG DROP Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain that syncs with an Azure AD tenant. You have a Microsoft Sentinel workspace named Sentinel1. You need to enable User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) for Sentinel1 and collect security events from the AD DS domain. 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. SC-200 practice exam questions

Items
AFrom Sentinel1, collect the AD DS security events by using the Legacy Agent connector.
BFor the AD DS domain, configure Windows Event Forwarding.
CFor Sentinel1, configure the Windows Forwarded Events connector.

I’d start by enabling Defender for Identity since it focuses on AD DS security events, then set up the data connector in Sentinel to ingest those events, and lastly turn on UEBA to analyze the collected data.

Starting with enabling Defender for Identity makes sense since it directly monitors AD DS. After that, setting up event collection ensures data flows into Sentinel1, and finally turning on UEBA lets you analyze behaviors effectively.

Checking for active exploits in Threat Analytics (D) first helps confirm if the vulnerability is being actively used. Then listing affected devices (B) before sending the remediation request (C) ensures the team knows exactly what to fix.

I think the key is to specify both the parser and schema in the command so it knows exactly what to validate, which rules out any generic validation commands. So, options mentioning both Parser1 and Schema1 make the most sense here.

Using 'DeviceName_s in' with a list is cleaner than multiple OR conditions.

0
AE
Adeel E.
2026-02-17

I’d go with filtering on the SigninLogs table since it tracks sign-in events and uses DeviceName_s for device names. For failed sign-ins, filtering on ResultType == 50074 or Status == "Failure" usually catches those failures cleanly. Then just use a where clause checking if DeviceName_s matches any of the three laptops. That way you avoid partial matches or case sensitivity issues. Also, it’s better to use an “in” statement for the device names rather than multiple ORs for cleaner code.

Sharing the incident URL (B) is the easiest way to let the other admin check those alerts without taking over the whole incident. It keeps things simple and flexible. B

B imo, sharing the incident URL lets the other admin access everything and decide what to focus on without locking the whole incident to them. It’s simpler than reassigning the entire incident.

I'd say start by enabling Microsoft Defender for the subscription first, so protection is active. Then onboard the Azure VM to ensure it's monitored, and finally trigger the alert with the malicious file simulation.

You can also start by onboarding the VM (B) if Defender is already enabled by default, then simulate the malicious file (C), and finally check alerts. Skipping onboarding means no data to analyze even if Defender’s on.

I’m thinking it has to be D as well. The alert timeline gives crucial insight into alert progression that you can’t ignore when reviewing incident tasks. Just looking at tasks or activity logs (A, B, or C) isn’t enough to get the full picture of what happened during the incident response.

Makes sense to me that it’s D. The alert timeline adds valuable context you can’t get from just tasks or activity logs alone.

I think adding just the secret scanning task (B) won’t be enough—there must be a way to push those results to Defender. So probably need to add both the secret scan task and the publish step (like D) for the results to show in Defender.

I’m thinking B might not fit since metrics usually track performance counters, not detailed event counts. If we want a timechart by day, wouldn’t a query pulling SecurityEvent data be more straightforward?

Maybe A, since a query directly pulls and visualizes the event counts by day.

Choosing the event first makes sense so you know where to add the note. After that, adding the actual note should come before saving, or else there’s nothing to save. So the order has to be select event, add note, then save.

0

David D.
2026-02-18

I agree with starting by selecting the event, but I’d add that after that, you should choose the option to add or edit notes before saving. You can't save notes without entering them first, so the middle step has to be opening the note editor or similar. Saving is obviously last to lock in your changes. This sequence makes sense to avoid errors and ensure the note actually gets attached properly.

You can also try setting up an automation rule to filter these alerts based on severity or source, then apply a status update to hide them automatically. This avoids messing with custom detection rules.

I’d drop creating a custom alert rule first to target the noisy alerts, then configure alert suppression with that rule, and finally set auto-hide so those suppressed alerts don’t clutter the dashboard.

If Server1 isn't an Azure VM but on-prem, deploying the Defender for SQL Server extension there makes sense. VM1, as an Azure VM, should have the SQL IaaS Agent Extension to support advanced protection and vulnerability scans.

0

Hassan R.

I agree with using the SQL IaaS Agent extension on VM1 since it’s an Azure VM and that extension handles both vulnerability assessment and advanced threat protection automatically. For Server1, if it’s on-premises or a non-Azure VM, the Defender for SQL Server extension is the way to go because it supports ATP and vulnerability scans but doesn’t require you to register it as a SQL virtual machine. This setup keeps admin effort low for both servers and meets all the requirements without extra manual steps.
