Enable Just in Time (JIT) VM Access for VM1 in Azure
Question
You have an Azure subscription that contains a user named Admin1 and a virtual machine named VM1. VM1 runs Windows Server 2019 and was deployed by using an Azure Resource Manager template. VM1 is the member of a backend pool of a public Azure Basic Load Balancer.
Admin1 reports that VM1 is listed as Unsupported on the Just in time VM access blade of Azure Security Center.
You need to ensure that Admin1 can enable just in time (JIT) VM access for VM1.
What should you do?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security-center/security-center-just-in-time?tabs=jit-config-asc%2Cjit-request-ascThe "Just in Time" (JIT) VM access feature of Azure Security Center allows you to secure access to your Azure virtual machines by providing temporary access to specific ports for a specified period of time. This feature is designed to minimize exposure to potential security threats by reducing the amount of time that virtual machine ports are open and accessible to the internet.
In this scenario, Admin1 is unable to enable JIT VM access for VM1 because VM1 is listed as Unsupported on the JIT VM access blade of Azure Security Center. This typically happens when the virtual machine does not meet the minimum requirements for JIT VM access.
To enable JIT VM access for VM1, you need to ensure that VM1 meets the minimum requirements for this feature. According to Microsoft documentation, the following requirements must be met to enable JIT VM access:
- The virtual machine must be running Windows Server 2016 or later, or Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or later.
- The virtual machine must have the Microsoft Monitoring Agent and Dependency Agent installed.
- The virtual machine must be in a resource group that is registered with Azure Security Center.
In this scenario, the virtual machine VM1 is running Windows Server 2019, so it meets the first requirement. However, it is possible that it does not meet the second or third requirement, which is why it is listed as Unsupported on the JIT VM access blade of Azure Security Center.
To enable JIT VM access for VM1, you should perform the following steps:
- Install the Microsoft Monitoring Agent and Dependency Agent on VM1. You can do this manually or by using an Azure Policy or Azure Automation.
- Make sure that VM1 is in a resource group that is registered with Azure Security Center. You can check this by navigating to the Security Center dashboard in the Azure portal and verifying that the resource group containing VM1 is listed.
Once these steps are completed, you should be able to enable JIT VM access for VM1 using the Azure Security Center portal. If you still encounter issues, you can try restarting the Microsoft Monitoring Agent and Dependency Agent on VM1 or reviewing the troubleshooting documentation provided by Microsoft.
To summarize, the correct answer to this question is not provided in the answer choices given. Instead, the solution involves verifying that VM1 meets the minimum requirements for JIT VM access and taking the necessary steps to ensure that it is properly configured. The answer choices provided are not relevant to this specific scenario.
