Question

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You have an Azure Subscription. The subscription contains 50 virtual machines that run Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2016. You need to deploy Microsoft Antimalware to the virtual machines. Solution: You add an extension to each virtual machine. Does this meet the goal?

Explanation

Option A (Yes) is correct because Microsoft Antimalware for Azure can be deployed to virtual machines by adding the IaaSAntimalware extension directly to each VM. This extension is a supported method for deploying antimalware protection to both Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016 virtual machines within an Azure subscription, making this solution fully valid.

Option B (No) is incorrect because adding a VM extension is indeed a legitimate and supported deployment method - there is no technical barrier preventing this approach from meeting the stated goal.

Memory Tip: Think of VM extensions as "plug-ins" for Azure virtual machines - just like browser plug-ins add functionality to a browser, VM extensions (like IaaSAntimalware) add features such as antimalware protection to your VMs. If you see a question about deploying antimalware in Azure, remember that VM extensions = valid deployment method, alongside alternatives like Azure Security Center or PowerShell/ARM templates.
