Question 1
You work as a Systems Administrator for your company. The company has recently purchased a subscription to Microsoft 365.
All users in your company have a Microsoft 365 E3 license.
You are in the process of configuring Microsoft Teams.
You need to configure Microsoft Teams to ensure that users within your company can collaborate with users in a partner company. You plan to create guest accounts for users in the partner company.
Users with Guest accounts must not be able to invite other guests.
Only users in the partner company must be able to collaborate with your users by using Microsoft Teams.
Which of the following should you configure?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The external collaboration settings in Azure Active Directory.
Directory. External collaboration settings in Azure Active Directory control guest access policies, including restrictions on guest invitations and collaboration scope. This is the appropriate place to configure which external organizations can collaborate with your company and to restrict guest capabilities like inviting other guests. The other options control different aspects: SharePoint sharing is separate from Teams collaboration, anonymous meeting joins are for public access, and meeting policies don't restrict guest invitation capabilities.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. SharePoint Admin Center external sharing settings control document collaboration, not Teams guest account capabilities and invitation restrictions.
- C. Anonymous meeting settings allow unauthenticated users to join, which is not appropriate for controlled partner collaboration.
- D. Global Meeting Policy controls meeting behavior for authenticated users, not guest account creation or invitation restrictions.
Question 2
You work as a Systems Administrator for your company. The company has recently purchased a subscription to Microsoft 365.
All users in your company have a Microsoft 365 E3 license.
You are in the process of configuring Microsoft Teams.
You enable Guest access in Microsoft Teams to allow users in your company to collaborate with external users.
A company security policy states that guest users should not be able to use their cameras during Microsoft Teams meetings. Company users should be able to use their cameras during Microsoft Teams meetings.
You need to configure Microsoft Teams to meet the security requirement.
Which of the following actions should you perform in the Microsoft Teams Admin Center?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Configure the Guest access settings in Org-wide settings.
Guest access settings in Org-wide settings allow you to configure specific capabilities for guest users, including restrictions on camera usage during meetings. This setting differentiates permissions between guest users and internal company users, allowing you to disable cameras for guests while keeping them enabled for employees.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. External access settings control federation with other organizations, not gues-pecific capabilities.
- B. Teams settings in Org-wide settings control general Teams features but not gues-pecific restrictions.
- D. The default Meeting Policy applies to all meeting participants and cannot create different restrictions for guests versus internal users.
Question 3
You work as a Microsoft 365 Administrator for your company. All users have Microsoft 365 licenses.
Users frequently collaborate by using private chats in Microsoft Teams.
You need to ensure that a single user is unable to permanently delete private chats.
Which of the following should you configure?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. A litigation hold on the user's mailbox.
A litigation hold on a user's mailbox preserves all communications, including Teams private chat messages, and prevents permanent deletion. When a litigation hold is active, deleted items are retained in the Recoverable Items folder and cannot be permanently removed by the user, meeting the requirement that a single user cannot permanently delete private chats.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Microsoft 365 license options do not control chat deletion capabilities.
- B. Meeting policies control meeting-specific settings, not private chat retention.
- D. Sensitivity Labels classify content for protection but do not prevent deletion of chats.
Question 4
You work as a Systems Administrator for your company. The company has departments named Sales, Accounts, Research and Production.
The company has recently purchased a subscription to Microsoft 365.
All users in your company have a Microsoft 365 E3 license.
You are in the process of configuring Microsoft Teams. You plan to create a team for each of the company departments.
All users have the Microsoft Teams desktop client installed.
You need to ensure that the Research team is labelled as Confidential when viewed in the Microsoft Teams client.
Which of the following actions should you perform?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Configure and publish a Sensitivity Label in the Security & Compliance admin center.
Security & Compliance admin center. Sensitivity Labels configured in the Security & Compliance admin center can be applied to Teams to classify them with designations like Confidential. These labels are then visible in the Teams client, providing visual indicators of the team's sensitivity level. Sensitivity Labels support Teams classification and protection requirements.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Retention Labels manage how long content is kept, not how teams are labeled for confidentiality designation.
- C. Teams policies control user permissions and meeting behavior, not team classification labeling.
- D. Meeting Settings configure meeting-specific features, not team-level sensitivity classifications.
Question 5
You work as a Systems Administrator for your company. The company has departments named Sales, Accounts, Research and Production.
The company has a subscription to Microsoft 365. All users in your company have a Microsoft 365 E5 license.
You have configured a Team for each of the departments.
Currently, users in any department can use Microsoft Teams to communicate with users from any other department.
You need to configure the environment to ensure that users in the Research team can only communicate with other users in the Research team by using Microsoft Teams.
What should you do?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Configure Information Barrier policies.
Information Barrier policies restrict communication between defined groups of users. By configuring Information Barrier policies, you can segment the Research team so its members can only communicate with other Research team members, preventing cros-epartmental communication through Teams. This requires Microsoft 365 E5 licenses, which the company has.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Teams Meeting policies control meeting settings and participant options, not inte-eam communication restrictions.
- C. App Protection policies manage device and app security, not communication segmentation between user groups.
- D. Conference Bridges enable external users to join meetings via phone, not restrict internal team communications.
Question 6
You work as a Systems Administrator for your company. The company has several departments.
The company has a subscription to Microsoft 365. All users in your company have a Microsoft 365 E5 license.
You have configured a Team for each of the departments.
You need to ensure that you are notified if a user creates a new Team by using the Create a Team option in the Microsoft Teams client.
Which of the following actions should you perform?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Configure an alert policy in the Security & Compliance admin center.
Compliance admin center. Alert policies in the Security & Compliance admin center allow you to configure notifications when specific activities occur, including when users create new Teams. You can set up alerts to notify administrators whenever the Create a Team action is triggered, enabling you to monitor team creation activities.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. External Collaboration settings in Azure AD control federation and guest access, not team creation monitoring.
- B. Supervision policies monitor and archive communications content for compliance, not team creation events.
- C. eDiscovery Cases are used to search and preserve content for legal holds, not to set up proactive notifications for team creation.
Question 7
You work as a Systems Administrator for your company. The company has a subscription to Microsoft 365.
All users in your company have a Microsoft 365 E5 license.
A user named User1 has the Microsoft Teams desktop client on his Windows 10 client computer.
User1 reports several problems when using Microsoft Teams.
You need to view the debug logs on User1's computer.
Which of the following actions should you perform to generate the debug logs?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Press the following key combination: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+1.
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+1. On the Microsoft Teams desktop client for Windows, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+1 generates the debug logs and saves them to the user's Downloads folder. Debug logs are a distinct log type from media logs and desktop logs, and they capture the client side diagnostic detail support needs for general Teams issues. User1 can run this key combination and then send the generated file for analysis.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Right clicking the Teams icon in the Windows notification area and choosing Get logs collects the desktop or bootstrapper logs, which are a different log set from the debug logs requested here.
- C. The Application log in Windows Event Viewer records operating system and application events, not Teams client debug logs.
- D. Usage reports in the Teams admin center provide activity and adoption metrics, not client side diagnostic logs.
Question 8
Your company has a subscription to Microsoft 365. All users in your company have a Microsoft 365 E5 license.
All users use Microsoft Teams for collaboration.
A manager wants to be able to view the Microsoft Teams usage reports.
You need to assign the manager permission to view the usage reports. The solution must use the principle of least privilege.
Which of the following actions should you perform?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Assign the Reports Reader role to the manager.
The Reports Reader role grants read only access to the usage and adoption reports in the Microsoft 365 and Teams admin centers. It gives the manager exactly what is needed to view Teams usage data without any administrative rights over users, policies or services. That makes it the least privileged option here.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Teams Communications Administrator can manage calling, meetings and voice settings across the tenant, which is far more permission than viewing reports requires.
- B. Security Administrator grants broad control over security features and policies and is not scoped to usage reporting.
- D. The compliance administration role covers data governance, retention and compliance features rather than access to Teams usage reports.
Question 9
You work as a Systems Administrator for your company. The company has a subscription to Microsoft 365. All users in your company have a Microsoft 365 E5 license.
All users in the company use Microsoft Teams for collaboration.
Users report that a team has been deleted in Microsoft Teams. The team was available yesterday.
You need to restore the deleted team.
Which tool should you use?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The Azure Active Directory admin center
Every team is backed by a Microsoft 365 group, so restoring a deleted team means restoring that group. Deleted groups remain recoverable for 30 days and are restored from the Deleted groups list in the Azure Active Directory admin center, which also brings back the team, its channels, files and mailbox. Since the team was deleted yesterday, it is still within the soft delete window.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. The Microsoft Teams admin center is used to manage and configure active teams and does not expose the deleted Microsoft 365 groups needed for this recovery.
- B. The Teams client app offers no recovery path for a deleted team; this is an administrative task.
- D. The Exchange Online admin center handles mailboxes, mail flow and recipient settings, not the restoration of Microsoft 365 groups behind teams.
Question 10
Your company has a subscription to Microsoft 365. All users in your company have a Microsoft 365 E5 license.
All users use Microsoft Teams for collaboration.
An Office 365 group contains 300 users including 50 guest accounts. A Microsoft Team has been created from the group.
You need to ensure that the group contains only members and guest accounts that require access to the group. Any members or guest accounts that are either inactive or no longer require access to the group should be removed. The solution must ensure that group membership is validated every month.
Which of the following should you configure?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. An Access Review
An Access Review is the appropriate Microsoft 365 feature for periodically validating group membership and removing inactive or unnecessary members and guests. Access Reviews can be scheduled to run monthly and allow administrators to confirm which members should retain access. Conditional Access policies control authentication, supervision policies monitor communications, and Teams policies manage Teams-specific settings, none address periodic membership validation.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Conditional Access policies enforce authentication and risk-based access controls, not membership validation.
- B. Supervision policies are designed to monitor and record communications for compliance, not manage group membership.
- D. Teams policies configure Teams features and permissions but do not perform periodic membership validation.
