A security administrator needs to review all sign-in attempts and identify suspicious login patterns for the past 30 days. Which Microsoft 365 portal should they use to access this information?

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 Purview compliance portal

The Purview portal focuses on compliance, data governance, and eDiscovery, not sign-in logs.

B

Distractor review

Microsoft 365 admin center

The admin center provides user management and some activity reports, but detailed sign-in logs are accessed through Microsoft Entra ID.

C

Best answer

Microsoft Entra ID sign-in logs

Microsoft Entra ID Sign-ins logs (in the Azure portal or Entra admin center) provide comprehensive sign-in activity data for analysis and investigation.

D

Distractor review

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps

Defender for Cloud Apps provides visibility into cloud app usage and can generate alerts, but the raw sign-in logs originate from Microsoft Entra ID.

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.

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: Microsoft Entra ID sign-in logs — Microsoft Entra ID sign-in logs provide a detailed record of sign-in activities, including success/failure, IP addresses, and risk events. The Microsoft 365 admin center shows user management but not detailed sign-in logs. The Purview portal is for compliance. Defender for Cloud Apps provides cloud app security alerts but the primary log source is Microsoft Entra ID.
