SC-900 Practice Test 5 — 10 Questions

Question 1

A company has a Microsoft Entra ID tenant with thousands of users. They need to ensure that only users with a 'Manager' attribute populated can access a sensitive app. Which approach should they use?

Accepted Answer

Create a dynamic group rule that includes users with a non-empty Manager attribute, then target the group in a Conditional Access policy. A dynamic group rule can evaluate the 'Manager' attribute and include only users where it is populated. This group can then be assigned to a Conditional Access policy that requires the group membership for access to the sensitive app, ensuring only users with a manager can authenticate.

Answer

Use HR-driven provisioning to populate an on-premises attribute and sync it

Answer

Create an access package in Entitlement Management that requires manager approval

Answer

Create an Administrative Unit for users with managers and assign the app to that unit

Question 2

Which TWO of the following are Microsoft Purview solutions that help protect sensitive data?

Accepted Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP). Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a Microsoft Purview solution that helps protect sensitive data by identifying, monitoring, and automatically enforcing policies to prevent accidental or unauthorized sharing of sensitive information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, or health records across services like Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams. Sensitivity labels are another Purview solution that protect sensitive data by allowing administrators to classify and apply protection (encryption, visual markings) to documents and emails, and enforce controls like 'Do Not Forward' or 'Encrypt-Only' based on the label's configuration.

Answer

Communication Compliance

Answer

eDiscovery

Answer

Insider Risk Management

Question 3

Refer to the exhibit. You are creating a custom analytics rule in Microsoft Sentinel. What does this rule detect?

Accepted Answer

Sign-ins with medium or high risk from outside the US. The rule is configured with 'Risk level: Medium, High' and 'Location: Outside US'. This means it triggers only when both conditions are met: the sign-in risk is medium or high, and the location is outside the US. Option D correctly matches this combination, detecting sign-ins with medium or high risk from outside the US.

Answer

Sign-ins with high sign-in risk from any location

Answer

Sign-ins with medium or high risk from the US

Answer

Sign-ins from users with high user risk outside the US

Question 4

An organization wants to allow users to classify documents as 'Public', 'Internal', 'Confidential', or 'Highly Confidential' with different levels of protection. Which Microsoft Purview solution should they use?

Accepted Answer

Sensitivity labels. Sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview Information Protection allow organizations to classify and protect documents and emails by applying labels such as 'Public', 'Internal', 'Confidential', or 'Highly Confidential'. These labels can enforce encryption, visual markings (headers/footers/watermarks), and access restrictions based on the classification level, directly meeting the requirement for different levels of protection.

Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Answer

Communication compliance

Answer

Retention policies

Question 5

Which THREE are features of Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management (formerly Records Management)? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Retention policies. Retention policies are a core feature of Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management because they allow administrators to apply retention settings at the container level (e.g., entire SharePoint site, Exchange mailbox, or OneDrive account) to automatically retain or delete content based on a defined schedule. This ensures that organizational data is kept for the required period and then removed, supporting compliance and governance requirements without manual intervention.

Answer

Data loss prevention

Answer

Sensitivity labels

Question 6

Your company wants to use Microsoft Entra ID to provide single sign-on (SSO) to a SaaS application that supports SAML 2.0. What should you configure in Microsoft Entra ID?

Accepted Answer

Add the application from the Microsoft Entra ID Gallery in Enterprise applications. Adding the SaaS application from the Microsoft Entra ID Gallery in Enterprise applications is the standard method to configure SAML 2.0-based single sign-on (SSO). The gallery provides pre-integrated templates that include the necessary SAML endpoints, certificates, and attribute mappings, enabling seamless federation between Entra ID and the external application.

Answer

Enable Microsoft Entra ID Domain Services

Answer

Configure Microsoft Entra ID Governance

Answer

Register the application in App registrations

Question 7

Your company wants to use Microsoft Defender for Identity to detect security threats from on-premises Active Directory. What is a prerequisite for deploying Defender for Identity?

Accepted Answer

Install a sensor on a domain controller. Microsoft Defender for Identity requires a sensor installed on a domain controller to capture and analyze on-premises Active Directory traffic, including authentication events and Kerberos requests. Without this sensor, Defender for Identity cannot monitor AD activities or detect threats like pass-the-hash or Golden Ticket attacks.

Answer

Obtain Microsoft 365 E3 licenses

Answer

Install a sensor on each user's workstation

Answer

Configure Azure AD Connect

Question 8

The exhibit shows a Conditional Access policy named 'Block Legacy Auth'. The admin notices that the policy is not blocking legacy authentication as intended. Based on the output, what is the most likely reason?

Accepted Answer

The policy does not have any client app types configured to block.. The policy is not blocking legacy authentication because it lacks configured client app types. Conditional Access policies require explicit selection of client apps (e.g., Exchange ActiveSync, other clients) to target legacy authentication protocols like POP3, IMAP, and SMTP. Without this configuration, the policy has no conditions to enforce, so it cannot block any authentication attempts.

Answer

The policy name is incorrect.

Answer

The policy is assigned to no users.

Answer

The policy is disabled.

Question 9

Refer to the exhibit. A Microsoft Graph PowerShell script is shown. What is the purpose of this script?

Accepted Answer

Register a phone authentication method for users.. The script uses the `New-MgUserAuthenticationPhoneMethod` cmdlet to register a phone number as an authentication method for a user in Microsoft Entra ID. This cmdlet specifically creates a phone authentication method, which can be used for multifactor authentication or self-service password reset, but its direct purpose is to register the phone method itself.

Answer

Configure self-service password reset settings.

Answer

Reset passwords for all users named John.

Answer

Enable multifactor authentication for the users.

Question 10

Your organization has multiple on-premises directories and wants to synchronize them to Microsoft Entra ID. However, you must avoid duplicate user objects. Which feature should you configure?

Accepted Answer

Source anchor attribute. The source anchor attribute (often the objectGUID in on-premises directories) is used during synchronization to uniquely identify each object and prevent duplicates. By mapping each on-premises object to a single, immutable source anchor, Microsoft Entra Connect ensures that even if multiple directories contain the same user, only one corresponding object is created in Entra ID.

Answer

Password Hash Sync

Answer

Pass-through Authentication

Answer

Active Directory Federation Services
