MS-102 Deploy and manage a Microsoft 365 tenant Practice Question
An administrator wants to add custom branding to the Microsoft 365 sign-in page, including company logo and colors. Which section of the Microsoft 365 admin center should they navigate to?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the Microsoft 365 admin center path with the Azure Active Directory admin center path, both of which have branding settings, but the question explicitly asks for the Microsoft 365 admin center navigation, making the Azure AD path (Option C) a distractor.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Settings > Org settings > Organization profile
The custom branding for the Microsoft 365 sign-in page, including company logo and colors, is configured under Settings > Org settings > Organization profile in the Microsoft 365 admin center. This section provides a dedicated 'Custom branding' tab where administrators can upload a logo, set a background image, and choose accent colors that are applied to the sign-in page for all users in the tenant.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Users > Active users
Why it's wrong here
Users > Active users is the management page for creating, editing, and managing user accounts, groups, and roles. It does not contain any tenant-level branding or sign-in page configuration options. Branding is a global organization setting, not a per-user management task, so this option is incorrect for the requested customization.
- ✓
Settings > Org settings > Organization profile
Why this is correct
In the Microsoft 365 admin center, the correct path is Settings > Org settings > Organization profile, which contains the 'Custom branding' section. This is where you upload a logo, choose a background image, and customize the sign-in page text for your organization's Microsoft 365 sign-in experience. The Organization profile settings consolidate tenant-wide identity and branding configurations under one management area.
- ✗
Admin centers > Azure Active Directory
Why it's wrong here
Admin centers > Azure Active Directory opens the Microsoft Entra admin center (formerly Azure AD), not the Microsoft 365 admin center. Although Azure AD/Entra ID also offers a 'Company branding' blade under User settings, the question specifically asks for the Microsoft 365 admin center navigation path. Selecting this option would take you to a different portal and bypass the intended Settings > Org settings > Organization profile path.
- ✗
Billing > Licenses
Why it's wrong here
Billing > Licenses is used to assign, revoke, or manage user license subscriptions (e.g., Microsoft 365 E5, Office 365 E3). It contains no controls for sign-in page customization, logos, or branding. This option is unrelated to tenant-wide identity branding and cannot affect the appearance of the Microsoft 365 authentication pages.
