Test-takers frequently confuse the `New-MgInvitation` cmdlet with `New-MgUser`, which creates a member user, and mistakenly think the invitation email is optional or that the user type can be changed to member without additional steps.
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
✓
A guest user is created in Microsoft Entra ID and an invitation email is sent.
The `New-MgInvitation` cmdlet creates a guest user in Microsoft Entra ID and sends an invitation email by default. This is the standard behavior for B2B collaboration, where the external user is assigned the 'Guest' user type and receives an email to accept the invitation and redeem their account.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
A guest user is created in Microsoft Entra ID and an invitation email is sent.
Why this is correct
The New-MgInvitation or New-AzureADMSInvitation cmdlet, when executed with appropriate parameters like InvitedUserEmailAddress and SendInvitationMessage -eq $true, specifically facilitates Microsoft Entra B2B collaboration. This action creates a new guest user object in the inviting tenant's Microsoft Entra ID, representing the external user. Concurrently, an invitation email containing a unique redemption link is automatically dispatched to the specified external email address, enabling the invited user to accept the invitation and gain access.
- ✗
The external user is added as a member user without an invitation.
Why it's wrong here
This statement is incorrect because the cmdlet is designed to create a guest user, not a member user. Member users typically originate from the same organization or are converted from guests. Furthermore, the SendInvitationMessage parameter, which is typically set to $true in such cmdlets for B2B invitations, explicitly ensures that an invitation email is sent to the external user, contradicting the "without an invitation" claim.
- ✗
The external user is provisioned as a consumer account in Azure AD B2C.
Why it's wrong here
This option is incorrect because the cmdlet operates within the context of Microsoft Entra B2B collaboration, which is distinct from Azure AD B2C. Microsoft Entra B2C is a separate service designed for managing consumer identities (e.g., customers of an application) and typically involves self-service sign-up flows, whereas B2B focuses on inviting external organizational users into a tenant. The cmdlet provisions a guest user in Microsoft Entra ID, not a consumer account in B2C.
- ✗
The external user is added as a member user and cannot be a guest.
Why it's wrong here
This statement is incorrect as the primary function of the New-MgInvitation or New-AzureADMSInvitation cmdlet is to onboard external users specifically as guest users within Microsoft Entra ID. Guest users are a distinct user type designed for external collaboration, providing limited access by default. They are not added as member users, and the entire B2B collaboration framework is built around the concept of inviting and managing these external guest accounts.
