Question 531 of 975

Implement and manage identity and access in Microsoft Entra ID →mediumMultiple ChoiceObjective-mapped

Quick Answer

The correct configuration is a Conditional Access policy that targets all users, selects Microsoft Azure Management as the cloud app, sets the location condition to all locations, excludes the trusted corporate network, and grants require multi-factor authentication. This works because the policy explicitly excludes the trusted location from the MFA requirement, so any access attempt from the corporate network bypasses MFA, while all other locations—including home or public networks—trigger the MFA challenge. On the MS-102 exam, this scenario tests your understanding of how location exclusions interact with grant controls; a common trap is accidentally including the trusted network in the policy scope or selecting the wrong cloud app like Office 365 instead of Microsoft Azure Management. Remember the key logic: exclude the trusted network from the location condition, not from the users or apps. A useful memory tip is “Exclude the place, not the face”—you exclude the corporate location, not the user group, to ensure MFA is only skipped based on where the connection originates.

MS-102 Practice Question: Implement and manage identity and access in Microsoft Entra ID

This MS-102 practice question tests your understanding of implement and manage identity and access in microsoft entra id. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

A company uses Azure AD Conditional Access. The security team wants to require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users when accessing the Azure portal, except when they are connecting from the corporate network (which is defined as a trusted location). How should the Conditional Access policy be configured?

A
Create a Conditional Access policy with all users, cloud apps = Microsoft Azure Management, Conditions > Locations = all locations, exclude the corporate network, Grant = Require multi-factor authentication.
This correctly applies MFA for all locations except the trusted corporate network.
B
Create a Conditional Access policy with all users, cloud apps = All cloud apps, Conditions > Locations = all locations, exclude the corporate network, Grant = Require multi-factor authentication.
Why wrong: This would require MFA for all cloud apps, not just the Azure portal, which is too restrictive.
C
Create a Conditional Access policy with all users, cloud apps = Microsoft Azure Management, Conditions > Locations = Corporate network, Grant = Block.
Why wrong: This would block access from the corporate network, which is the opposite of the requirement.
D
Create a Conditional Access policy with all users, cloud apps = Microsoft Azure Management, Conditions > Locations = Corporate network, Grant = Require multi-factor authentication.
Why wrong: This would require MFA only from the corporate network, not from other locations.

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

✓

Create a Conditional Access policy with all users, cloud apps = Microsoft Azure Management, Conditions > Locations = all locations, exclude the corporate network, Grant = Require multi-factor authentication.

Option A is correct because it targets only the Azure Portal (Microsoft Azure Management cloud app), applies MFA to all locations except the trusted corporate network, and excludes the corporate network from the policy. This ensures MFA is required for all access attempts from untrusted locations while allowing direct access from the corporate network without MFA.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

The trap here is that candidates often select 'All cloud apps' (Option B) thinking it covers the Azure portal, but this over-scopes the policy and forces MFA on all applications, which is not the requirement.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

Conditional Access policies evaluate conditions like user location (based on IPv4/IPv6 ranges defined as named locations) before granting access. The 'Microsoft Azure Management' cloud app includes the Azure portal, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell, so this policy specifically targets Azure management interfaces. Excluding the corporate network from the policy means the policy does not apply when the user's IP matches a trusted location, allowing direct access without MFA.

TExam Day Tips

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.

Key takeaway

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
