To complete this task, sign in to the Azure portal. Answer: Deploy the Microsoft Antimalware Extension using the Azure Portal for single VM deployment 1. In Azure Portal, go to the Azure VM1's blade, navigate to the Extensions section and press Add. 2. Select the Microsoft Antimalware extension and press Create. 3. Fill the "Install extension" form as desired and press OK. Scheduled: Enable Scan type: Full Scan day: Sunday Reference:

Explanation

The correct approach is to deploy the Microsoft Antimalware extension directly on VM1 through the Azure Portal by navigating to the VM's Extensions blade, adding the Microsoft Antimalware extension, and configuring it with scheduled scanning enabled, scan type set to 'Full', scan day set to 'Sunday', and scan time set to '120' (representing 02:00 in minutes or the hour value of 2). This is the native Azure mechanism for enabling endpoint protection on IaaS VMs, and the extension integrates with Windows Defender/Microsoft Antimalware to enforce scheduled scans. The configuration must explicitly set the scheduled scan parameters - without enabling the schedule and specifying 'Full' scan type on 'Sunday' at the correct time, the task would not meet the requirements.
