Question 1

A company uses Microsoft 365 E3. They want to upgrade to include advanced compliance features like communication compliance and insider risk management. Which add-on license do they need?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance. Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance is the correct add-on license because it includes advanced compliance features such as Communication Compliance (for monitoring and detecting inappropriate messages) and Insider Risk Management (for identifying and mitigating internal data risks). These features are not available in the base Microsoft 365 E3 subscription and require the E5 Compliance SKU to unlock.

Question 2

A company uses Microsoft 365 E5. They want to implement a solution to automatically classify and protect sensitive data in emails and documents. Which THREE Microsoft Purview features should they use?

Accepted Answer

Sensitivity labels. Sensitivity labels are correct because they allow organizations to classify and protect sensitive data by applying encryption, markings, and access restrictions directly to emails and documents. Auto-labeling policies extend this by automatically applying sensitivity labels based on conditions like sensitive information types or patterns, ensuring consistent protection without manual user intervention. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies are correct because they detect and prevent accidental sharing of sensitive data by enforcing rules on email and document transmission, such as blocking or warning when sensitive content is detected.

Answer

Retention policies

Answer

eDiscovery

Question 3

A user in your organization receives an email from an unknown sender with a link to a fake login page. The user reports it. You need to analyze the threat and check if other users received similar emails. Which Microsoft 365 Defender feature should you use?

Accepted Answer

Threat Explorer (Explorer). Threat Explorer (Explorer) is the correct tool because it provides a real-time, interactive view of email threats, allowing you to search for and analyze specific messages (like the phishing link) across all users. You can use filters such as sender, recipient, or URL to determine if other users received the same malicious email, enabling rapid threat hunting and response.

SharePoint Online is the correct choice because it provides a centralized document library with version history, co-authoring, and metadata management, ensuring all team members always access the latest version without manual tracking.

Question 10

Refer to the exhibit. A JSON snippet from a Microsoft Purview compliance policy. What is the effect of this policy when applied to a document?

Accepted Answer

It encrypts the document and adds a watermark.. The Microsoft Purview sensitivity label policy configures both encryption (via protection settings) and watermarking (via marking settings). When applied to a document, it enforces both actions simultaneously, resulting in the document being encrypted and watermarked. Therefore, option A is correct.

Answer

It prevents any sharing of the document.

Answer

It only adds a watermark.

Answer

It only encrypts the document.

Question 11

Refer to the exhibit. A Microsoft Graph PowerShell command is run. What does this command retrieve about user jdoe?

Accepted Answer

Display name, user principal name, assigned licenses, and usage location.. The command `Get-MgUser -UserId jdoe -Property DisplayName, UserPrincipalName, AssignedLicenses, UsageLocation` explicitly specifies only those four properties in the `-Property` parameter. Microsoft Graph PowerShell by default returns a subset of properties, but when you list specific properties, it retrieves only those requested. Therefore, the output includes exactly the display name, user principal name, assigned licenses, and usage location.

Answer

Only the user's display name and email.

Answer

All properties of the user.

Answer

Only the user's display name.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

A Microsoft 365 group.. The New-UnifiedGroup cmdlet (Exchange Online PowerShell) creates a Microsoft 365 group — a modern group object that provides a shared mailbox, calendar, SharePoint site, and Teams-compatible membership. A mail-enabled security group or distribution group would be created with New-DistributionGroup, and a shared mailbox with New-Mailbox -Shared. The "Unified" in the cmdlet name is the historical term for Microsoft 365 groups (formerly Office 365 unified groups).
