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
Microsoft Entra ID Protection and SSPR
ID Protection detects risky behavior but does not enforce password history policies.
B
Best answer
Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) and Password Protection
SSPR enables self-service resets; Password Protection enforces password reuse restrictions and custom ban lists.
C
Distractor review
Conditional Access and SSPR
Conditional Access controls access but does not manage password policies.
D
Distractor review
Identity Governance and SSPR
Identity Governance handles access reviews and entitlements, not password history enforcement.
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

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: Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) and Password Protection — Self-service password reset (SSPR) allows users to reset their own passwords after verifying their identity via methods like Microsoft Authenticator. Password Protection includes custom banned password lists and enforcement of password history (i.e., preventing reuse of recent passwords). Identity Protection is for detecting risky sign-ins. Conditional Access controls access conditions. Identity Governance manages access certifications. So the combination of SSPR and Password Protection fulfills both requirements.
