MS-900 Practice Test 25 — 15 Questions

Question 1

During a Microsoft 365 planning workshop, check whether an Outlook on the web issue is caused by a known Microsoft incident. Microsoft 365 licensing, admin, or support concept is most relevant?

Accepted Answer

Service health. Service health in the Microsoft 365 admin center provides real-time status of Microsoft services, including known incidents and advisories. When troubleshooting an Outlook on the web issue, checking Service health is the correct first step to determine if the problem is caused by a known Microsoft incident, rather than a local configuration or licensing problem.

Question 2

A help desk lead is documenting the correct Microsoft 365 approach to troubleshoot why a licensed user cannot access a specific app. Microsoft 365 licensing, admin, or support concept is most relevant?

Accepted Answer

The assigned license and enabled service plans. When a licensed user cannot access a specific app, the most relevant concept is the assigned license and its enabled service plans. In Microsoft 365, each license (e.g., Microsoft 365 E3) includes multiple service plans (e.g., Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams), and an admin can disable individual plans. If the required service plan for the app is disabled in the user's license, the user will be blocked from accessing that app despite having a valid license. This is a core licensing troubleshooting step in the 'Describe Microsoft 365 pricing and support' domain.

Accepted Answer

Reports Reader. The Reports Reader role in Microsoft 365 is specifically designed to allow users to view usage reports and activity logs without needing any administrative permissions to change configurations. This role provides read-only access to reporting data, making it the most relevant concept for a department that wants to monitor usage without altering settings.

Question 4

A user wants to quickly set up a website for their team to share news and resources. Which Microsoft 365 app should they use?

Accepted Answer

SharePoint. SharePoint is the correct choice because it is specifically designed for creating team sites that serve as centralized hubs for sharing news, documents, and resources. With SharePoint, users can quickly provision a modern team site using pre-built templates, add web parts for news feeds and document libraries, and manage permissions for team members. This directly meets the requirement for a website to share news and resources.

Question 5

A marketing department uses Microsoft 365 Copilot to generate content. The compliance officer is concerned about data leakage when users interact with Copilot. Which Microsoft Purview feature should the admin implement to prevent sensitive data from being used in Copilot prompts?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Copilot. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Copilot is the correct feature because it specifically inspects and blocks sensitive data (e.g., credit card numbers, PII) from being included in Copilot prompts or generated content. DLP policies can be applied to Copilot interactions to prevent data leakage by evaluating the content in real time against sensitive information types and enforcing actions like blocking or warning the user.

Question 6

Which characteristic of cloud computing allows a user to provision resources automatically without requiring human interaction with the service provider?

Accepted Answer

On-demand self-service. On-demand self-service is a fundamental characteristic of cloud computing defined by NIST (SP 800-145) that allows a user to unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service provider. This is typically implemented through a web portal or API (e.g., AWS Console, Azure Portal, or RESTful APIs) that enables instant resource creation and configuration.

Question 7

During requirements gathering, an IT manager says the organization must deploy application code without maintaining the operating system or runtime platform. Cloud concept or benefit best matches this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Platform as a Service (PaaS). Platform as a Service (PaaS) is the correct choice because it provides a managed hosting environment where you can deploy your own application code without needing to manage the underlying operating system or runtime platform. The IT manager's requirement explicitly states they want to avoid maintaining the OS and runtime, which is the core value proposition of PaaS. In contrast, IaaS would require them to manage the OS and runtime themselves.

Question 11

Refer to the exhibit. The administrator wants to reduce costs by reclaiming unused licenses. However, they must ensure that no user loses access to services. What should they do?

Accepted Answer

Identify users with no activity for 90 days and remove their licenses. The administrator should identify users with no activity for 90 days and then remove their licenses. This approach directly reclaims unused licenses while ensuring that only truly inactive users lose access, minimizing the risk of disrupting active users. Microsoft 365 provides usage reports (e.g., in the Microsoft 365 admin center) that can show sign-in activity over the last 30, 60, or 90 days, allowing precise identification of dormant accounts.

Answer

Purchase fewer licenses next month to offset the unused count

Answer

Remove licenses from 30 users who have not logged in for 30 days

Answer

Reassign the 30 unused licenses to new users

Question 12

A financial services firm must comply with regulatory requirements that prevent accidental sharing of sensitive customer data via email. They need to automatically detect and block emails containing credit card numbers sent to external recipients. Which Microsoft 365 service should they configure?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Purview. Microsoft Purview (formerly Microsoft 365 Compliance) includes Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies that can automatically detect sensitive data types, such as credit card numbers, in emails and block them from being sent to external recipients. This directly addresses the regulatory requirement to prevent accidental sharing of sensitive customer data via email.

Question 13

A user is unable to access Microsoft Teams because the tenant's subscription has expired. The administrator wants to restore access as quickly as possible while minimizing costs. What should the administrator do?

Accepted Answer

Reactivate the expired subscription in the Microsoft 365 admin center. The Microsoft 365 admin center provides a 'Reactivate subscription' option for expired subscriptions, typically within a grace period (e.g., 30 days for most paid subscriptions). This restores access immediately without requiring a new purchase, minimizing both cost and downtime. The administrator can simply navigate to Billing > Your products, select the expired subscription, and click Reactivate.

Answer

Answer

Wait for the subscription to automatically renew within 30 days

Answer

Purchase a new subscription and assign licenses to users

Question 14

During a Microsoft 365 planning workshop, provide business-class email, calendars, contacts, and mailboxes. Microsoft 365 app or service is the best fit?

Accepted Answer

Exchange Online. Exchange Online is the correct choice because it is Microsoft's cloud-hosted messaging platform that provides business-class email, shared calendars, contact management, and mailbox services. It is the core service within Microsoft 365 designed specifically for these communication and collaboration needs, supporting features like shared mailboxes, resource mailboxes, and calendar sharing via Exchange Web Services (EWS) and MAPI over HTTP.

Question 15

A healthcare organization needs to automatically apply a sensitivity label to any document stored in a SharePoint document library that contains patient diagnosis codes. The label should prevent the document from being shared externally. The classification must happen after the document is saved, not during creation. Which Microsoft Purview solution should be configured?

Accepted Answer

Auto-labeling with sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview. Auto-labeling with sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview is correct because it automatically applies a sensitivity label to documents containing sensitive content (like patient diagnosis codes) after they are saved to SharePoint. This label can enforce protection actions such as preventing external sharing, meeting the requirement for post-save classification.
