AZ-801 Question #78: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You manage 200 physical servers that run Windows Server. You plan to migrate the servers to Azure. You need to prepare for discovery of the servers by using Azure Migrate. Which three actions should you perform in sequence on a physical server? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of the sequential steps required to set up the Azure Migrate appliance on a physical Windows Server to enable server discovery before migration to Azure. The process follows a strict download → install → configure order.

Approach. The correct three-step sequence performed on the physical server is: (1) Download the Azure Migrate appliance installer ZIP file from the Azure portal after generating a project key in the Azure Migrate project. (2) Extract the ZIP and run the PowerShell setup script (AzureMigrateInstaller.ps1) with administrator privileges to install the appliance software and its dependencies. (3) Open the appliance configuration manager (a locally hosted web app on port 44368), register the appliance with Azure Migrate using the project key, and add server credentials so the appliance can begin discovering and inventorying the physical servers. This sequence is mandatory - the configuration manager is only available after installation, and the installer script requires the downloaded package first.

Concept tested. Azure Migrate appliance setup sequence for physical server discovery - specifically the ordered steps of downloading the installer, running the PowerShell setup script, and configuring the appliance via its web-based configuration manager to register with an Azure Migrate project and enable agentless discovery of on-premises physical servers.
