Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Best answer

Create a computer account named AZUREADSSOACC in each AD forest

This account is used by Azure AD Connect to sign users in silently.

B

Distractor review

Install Azure AD Connect on a separate server

Azure AD Connect is already installed; no separate server is required for Seamless SSO.

C

Distractor review

Enable Passthrough Authentication

Passthrough Authentication is a different authentication method, not required for Seamless SSO.

D

Distractor review

Set the service connection point in Active Directory

Service connection points are used for Azure AD Connect configuration, not for Seamless SSO.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
  • Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.

TExam Day Tips

  • Underline the problem statement mentally.
  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
