Question 1hardmultiple choice
Full question →hardmultiple choiceObjective-mapped
A company uses Microsoft Entra ID P2 licenses. The security team wants to automatically block sign-ins for users with high sign-in risk, but only when the sign-in originates from outside the corporate network. For sign-ins from the corporate network, they want to require a password change for medium sign-in risk. A group of emergency access accounts (break-glass) must be excluded from all policies. What should the administrator implement?
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
Distractor review
single Conditional Access policy that blocks access for high risk from external locations and requires password change for medium risk from internal locations, excluding the break-glass group.
A single policy cannot apply different grant controls based on risk level and location simultaneously. Conditional Access policies apply one grant control per policy.
B
Best answer
Two Conditional Access policies: one for external locations that blocks high risk, and one for internal locations that requires password change for medium risk. Both exclude the break-glass group.
This meets all requirements: separate policies for different location + risk combinations, and the break-glass group is excluded from both.
C
Distractor review
An Identity Protection user risk policy that blocks high-risk users and prompts for password change for medium-risk users, configured to exclude the break-glass group.
Identity Protection user risk policies cannot target specific network locations; they apply to all sign-ins. The requirements specify location-based differentiation.
D
Distractor review
Conditional Access policy that requires multi-factor authentication for all users except break-glass, and a separate sign-in risk policy for blocking high risk from external locations.
MFA is not requested; the requirement is block for high risk and password change for medium risk. Moreover, a sign-in risk policy does not allow location-based conditions.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

Question 1
A company recently added the custom domain 'contoso.com' to their Microsoft 365 tenant. Users report that they cannot receive external email sent to their new domain addresses. The administrator confirmed that the domain status shows 'Active' in the Microsoft 365 admin center. What is the most likely cause of this issue?
Question 2
A company has 500 users across Sales, Marketing, and IT departments. User objects are synced from on-premises Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID using Azure AD Connect. Each department requires different Microsoft 365 license plans (e.g., Sales needs E3, Marketing needs Business Premium, IT needs E5). The administrator wants to automatically assign the appropriate license based on the department attribute without manual intervention. Which approach should the administrator use?
Question 3
A company has purchased 1000 Microsoft 365 E5 licenses and wants to automatically assign licenses to users based on their department attribute, which is synchronized from on-premises Active Directory. The department attribute is stored in Azure AD. Which automated method should the administrator use to achieve this?
Question 4
A company has just purchased Microsoft 365 Business Standard and added the custom domain 'fabrikam.com' to the tenant. They want to verify domain ownership. Which DNS record type must they add to their DNS provider?
Question 5
A company plans to migrate their email from an on-premises Exchange server to Exchange Online. They want to ensure that during the migration, mail sent to users who have already been migrated is delivered to Exchange Online, while mail for non-migrated users is delivered to on-premises. Which type of domain configuration should they use?
Question 6
A company has registered the custom domain 'contoso.com' and wants to host email for the subdomain 'sales.contoso.com' in Exchange Online. They have already verified the root domain. What additional step is required?
FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this MS-102 question test?
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Two Conditional Access policies: one for external locations that blocks high risk, and one for internal locations that requires password change for medium risk. Both exclude the break-glass group. — This scenario requires two Conditional Access policies. One policy targets all users except break-glass, applies to all locations except trusted IPs (corporate network), and uses the 'Block access' grant when sign-in risk is high. The second policy targets all users except break-glass, applies to trusted IPs, and uses the 'Require password change' grant when sign-in risk is medium. This combination ensures appropriate protection based on location and risk level.
