Deploy and manage a Microsoft 365 tenant →easyMultiple ChoiceObjective-mapped

Quick Answer

The answer is that the policy blocks access from trusted IP addresses. This occurs because the Conditional Access policy is configured with the “Block access” grant control applied to “All users” and “All cloud apps,” while the location condition is explicitly set to “Trusted IPs.” In Microsoft Entra ID, the location condition defines which network locations are evaluated, so when “Trusted IPs” is selected, only those IP addresses defined in your organization’s named locations are subject to the policy—meaning access from trusted IPs is denied, while untrusted IPs are unaffected. On the MS-102 exam, this scenario tests your understanding of how Conditional Access location conditions invert common expectations; a frequent trap is assuming trusted IPs are always allowed, but here the block action overrides that trust. Remember the memory tip: “Trusted IPs + Block = Trust is blocked, not granted.”

Answer choices

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

✓

It blocks access from trusted IP addresses.

The policy is configured to 'Block access' for 'All users' and 'All cloud apps' when the location condition is set to 'Trusted IPs'. This means that when a user attempts to access from an IP address defined as trusted in the organization's named locations, access is explicitly blocked. The effect is that trusted IP addresses are blocked, not untrusted ones.

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

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    It requires multi-factor authentication for trusted IPs.

    Why it's wrong here

    The grant control is block, not MFA.

  • ✗

    It blocks access from all locations.

    Why it's wrong here

    The policy only includes trusted IPs, not all locations.

  • ✗

    It blocks access from untrusted IP addresses.

    Why it's wrong here

    The policy includes trusted IPs, not untrusted.

  • ✓

    It blocks access from trusted IP addresses.

    Why this is correct

    The policy includes AllTrusted locations and applies a block control.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

The trap here is that candidates mistakenly think 'Block access' combined with 'Trusted IPs' blocks untrusted IPs, when in fact the policy explicitly blocks the trusted IPs, leaving untrusted IPs unaffected by this policy.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

In Conditional Access, the location condition evaluates the client's IP address against named locations configured in Azure AD. Trusted IPs are typically defined as corporate ranges or MFA-trusted IPs. When a policy is set to 'Block access' with the location condition set to 'Trusted IPs', it creates a counterintuitive scenario where users on the corporate network are blocked, while external users are not affected by this policy. This is often used to enforce access controls that require users to be off-network, or as part of a broader strategy where other policies handle untrusted locations.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.

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.
