MS-102 Deploy and manage a Microsoft 365 tenant Practice Question
A company wants to display a custom help desk phone number and email on the Microsoft 365 sign-in page so that users can contact support easily. Which area of the Microsoft 365 admin center should the administrator use to configure this?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the 'Security & privacy' settings (Option A) with branding customization, mistakenly thinking that support contact details are a security-related configuration rather than a branding and user experience setting.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Settings > Org settings > Organization profile
The custom help desk contact information (phone number and email) for the Microsoft 365 sign-in page is configured under Settings > Org settings > Organization profile, specifically in the 'Custom branding' section. This setting allows administrators to add custom support contact details that appear on the sign-in page, enhancing user self-service and support accessibility.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Settings > Org settings > Security & privacy
Why it's wrong here
The Settings > Org settings > Security & privacy node manages security-related tenant policies, such as password expiration policies, self-service password reset, and privacy statement URLs. While these settings may affect user authentication security, they do not include the ability to customize the sign-in page or display a custom help desk phone number/email. Sign-in branding is a separate feature that lives under Organization profile's custom branding section.
- ✓
Settings > Org settings > Organization profile
Why this is correct
The correct path is Settings > Org settings > Organization profile, which contains a 'Custom branding' tab (or 'Sign-in and branding' section) where administrators can configure the sign-in page's logo, text, and support information. Under 'Custom branding', you can specify a support email address, phone number, and support URL that will be shown to users when they access the sign-in page. This is the only location in the Microsoft 365 admin center that maps directly to the help desk contact info on the sign-in page.
- ✗
Billing > Licenses
Why it's wrong here
Billing > Licenses is dedicated to purchasing, assigning, and managing user subscriptions and product licenses within the tenant. It tracks license quantity, seat usage, and per-user allocation, but it does not contain any settings that affect the appearance or content of the sign-in page. Help desk contact information is part of the sign-in branding, which is stored in the organization profile, not in licensing.
- ✗
Health > Service Health
Why it's wrong here
Health > Service Health provides operational status for Microsoft 365 services, including current incidents, advisories, and historical uptime information. It is a monitoring and diagnostic tool, not a configuration surface, so it cannot be used to alter the sign-in page's branding or contact details. The help desk info displayed on the sign-in page is a branding artifact, unrelated to service health.
