MS-102 Practice Question: Implement and manage Microsoft Entra identity and access
This MS-102 practice question tests your understanding of implement and manage microsoft entra identity and access. 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.
Your company has a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription and uses Microsoft Entra ID. You have configured Microsoft Entra Identity Governance. You need to create an access review for all guest users in the tenant to ensure their access is still required. The review should be recurring every 90 days and should auto-remove guests if they are not approved. What should you configure?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create an access review for all guest users with a recurrence of 90 days and auto-apply results
Option B is correct because creating an access review for all guest users with a recurrence of 90 days and auto-apply results directly meets the requirement: it reviews guest access every 90 days and automatically removes guests who are not approved. Access reviews in Microsoft Entra ID Governance allow you to scope reviews to guest users, set recurrence, and enable auto-apply to enforce removal without manual intervention.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

✗
Configure PIM settings for guest users

Create an access package in entitlement management for guest users
Why it's wrong here
Access packages are for granting access, not reviewing.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates confuse Conditional Access policies (which block access but do not remove accounts) with access reviews (which can automatically remove guest accounts), or they mistakenly think PIM or access packages can perform tenant-wide recurring guest reviews with auto-removal.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Access reviews in Microsoft Entra ID Governance use the MS Graph API (beta) to evaluate group memberships, application assignments, and Entra ID roles. When auto-apply is enabled, the review results trigger a background job that removes the guest user from the reviewed resource (e.g., group or app) or disables the guest account if the review is scoped to all guest users. The recurrence interval is defined in ISO 8601 duration format (e.g., P90D), and the review instance generates notifications to reviewers via email or the My Access portal.

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.
