A compliance officer needs to implement a policy that automatically marks emails containing a specific custom sensitive information type as a regulatory record upon sending. The regulatory record must be retained for 10 years and cannot be deleted by users. Which two components must be configured to achieve this?
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 custom sensitive information type and configure an auto-apply retention label policy that applies a regulatory record label
Correct. The custom SIT detects the pattern, and the auto-labeling policy applies the label that marks the item as a regulatory record with the 10-year retention.
B
Distractor review
Create a default retention label for emails and assign it to all mailboxes via a retention policy
Incorrect. A default label applies to all items, not just those containing the specific pattern, and does not automatically mark as regulatory record.
C
Distractor review
Create a retention label with record marking and publish it to all users, then train users to apply it manually
Incorrect. The requirement is for automatic application, not manual.
D
Distractor review
Create a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy that detects the custom pattern and blocks the email until it is labeled
Incorrect. DLP policies do not apply retention labels; they enforce actions like blocking or notification.
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: Create a custom sensitive information type and configure an auto-apply retention label policy that applies a regulatory record label — This scenario requires two things: a custom sensitive information type to detect the pattern in emails, and a retention label with a record label action (regulatory record) that applies the retention period. The label must be auto-applied using a policy that scans for that sensitive info type. Option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because default labels are not used for auto-application; they apply to unlabeled content. Option C is incorrect because an auto-labeling policy for labels itself is the mechanism, but it requires both the sensitive info type and the label. Option D is incorrect because DLP policies are for blocking/alerting, not for applying retention labels.
