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

Upgrade all users to Microsoft 365 E5

Upgrading to E5 adds many features beyond compliance (e.g., advanced security), which would be more costly than needed.

B

Best answer

Purchase the Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance add-on for all users

The E5 Compliance add-on is designed for E3 subscribers to gain exactly the compliance capabilities mentioned, including Communication Compliance and Insider Risk Management.

C

Distractor review

Purchase the Microsoft 365 E5 eDiscovery and Audit add-on

This add-on only provides eDiscovery and advanced audit features, not Communication Compliance or Insider Risk Management.

D

Distractor review

Replace E3 with Microsoft 365 Business Premium

Business Premium is a business plan suited for smaller organizations and does not include Communication Compliance or Insider Risk Management.

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.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this MS-900 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Purchase the Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance add-on for all users — Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance is an add-on license for E3 that provides Communication Compliance, Insider Risk Management, and other advanced compliance features. Upgrading all users to E5 is more expensive if the advanced security features of E5 are not needed. The E5 eDiscovery and Audit add-on does not include Communication Compliance or Insider Risk Management. Business Premium plans are not compatible with enterprise E3 subscriptions and lack these features.
