MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
You need to identify which users in your organization have been inactive in Microsoft Teams for the last 30 days. Which tool should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
MS-700 often tests the difference between activity reports (usage/inactivity) and configuration or sign-in data — candidates may pick Microsoft Entra ID sign-in logs, but those reflect authentication, not Teams usage.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Microsoft 365 admin center Reports.
The Microsoft 365 admin center Reports section includes usage reports for Microsoft Teams, such as the Teams user activity report, which shows last activity dates and can identify users inactive for a specified period (e.g., 30 days). This is the built-in, supported way to identify inactive Teams users without custom scripting. It provides per-user activity data including last activity date, messages sent, and meetings attended.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Microsoft Entra ID sign-in logs.
Why it's wrong here
Sign-in logs track authentication events to Microsoft Entra ID, not specific activity within the Teams application. While sign-ins are related, they do not indicate whether a user actually performed an action like posting a message, attending a meeting, or accessing a file inside the Teams client.
- ✓
Microsoft 365 admin center Reports.
Why this is correct
The Microsoft 365 Reports dashboard is designed specifically to track service usage. It provides a dedicated Teams user activity report that displays the last activity date for every user, making it the correct tool to identify inactive users for license reclamation or audit purposes.
- ✗
Teams admin center Guest access settings.
Why it's wrong here
Guest access settings are used to configure the permissions and availability of external users, not to track internal user activity. These settings do not provide reports on user interaction history, making them entirely irrelevant for analyzing whether internal employees have been active in the Teams client.
- ✗
Security & Compliance Center Content Search.
Why it's wrong here
Content search is used for eDiscovery and legal holds, allowing administrators to find specific messages or files. It is not an analytics tool and does not provide an overview of user activity duration or inactivity patterns across the organization, making it ineffective for usage reporting tasks.
