Microsoft 365 Fundamentals Practice Test (MS-900)

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is the best fit because it provides an environment for developers to build, test, and deploy applications without the overhead of managing underlying infrastructure. PaaS offers the necessary tools and services to streamline the development process.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) still requires the organization to manage servers and networking components, while

Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers fully developed applications that might not meet the need for custom development.

On-Premises Deployment requires managing all hardware and software internally.

Enhanced flexibility by combining cloud and on-premises resources allows organizations to utilize both cloud services and on-premises infrastructure. This enables them to optimize workloads, scale resources efficiently, and tailor their IT environment to specific needs.

Increased reliance on local hardware and maintenance - A hybrid cloud model actually reduces dependence on local hardware, as organizations can leverage cloud resources to scale capacity and reduce maintenance requirements on-site.,

Decreased data security risks - While a hybrid model can provide enhanced security options (such as data replication to the cloud), it does not inherently reduce data security risks.

Reduced control over resource management - A hybrid model can provide more control over where data and applications are stored and run (cloud or on-premises), contrary to reducing control.

The Service Health section in the Microsoft 365 admin center provides real-time information about the health of Microsoft 365 services, including Exchange Online. It allows administrators to check for any known issues or outages affecting the services.

The Message Center communicates updates, such as new features or changes, but does not display real-time service health status.

The Azure portal's Service Health pertains to Azure services, not Microsoft 365 services.

The Microsoft Entra admin center manages Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and does not provide service health information for Exchange Online.

Microsoft Secure Score provides a numerical assessment of an organization's security posture by evaluating their current security settings and practices within Microsoft 365. It offers actionable recommendations for improvement, allowing organizations to prioritize and implement security enhancements effectively.

Secure Score does not automatically apply recommended settings, enforce compliance with industry regulations, or remediate security issues without administrator intervention. Instead, it serves as a strategic tool to guide security administrators in strengthening their organization's security posture.

Insider Risk Management in Microsoft Purview enables organizations to identify, investigate, and act upon potentially risky activities that could lead to internal data leaks or policy violations. It provides tools to monitor and address risks originating from within the organization. While Information Protection focuses on classifying and protecting sensitive data, eDiscovery is used for legal investigations to search and hold relevant information, and Auditing offers activity logs for reviewing actions taken within the organization. Therefore, for proactively managing internal compliance risks, Insider Risk Management is the appropriate solution.

Administrators should submit support requests through the Microsoft 365 admin center using the Help & Support feature. This provides a direct channel to Microsoft support for efficient resolution.

Contacting Microsoft via social media or using the Office application does not connect the administrator to official support channels for service issues.

Hiring an external consultant does not engage Microsoft support and may not resolve the issue effectively.

Submitting a support request through the Microsoft 365 admin center connects the company directly with Microsoft support professionals who can promptly assist with their issue.

Contacting an account manager for assistance may not provide immediate technical help since they focus on sales and account relationships.

Posting the issue on the Microsoft Tech Community forums on community forums may lead to delayed responses from peers.

Waiting for the issue to resolve itself could prolong business disruptions.

Microsoft Bookings allows businesses to create a web-based scheduling system where external clients can book appointments or meetings based on available time slots. It streamlines appointment management and integrates with calendars.

Microsoft Planner is designed for internal task planning and team collaboration.

Microsoft Project focuses on advanced project management and scheduling for complex projects.

Microsoft Teams facilitates communication and collaboration but does not provide a public scheduling interface for client appointments.

This statement is False.

The Zero Trust Model operates on the principle that no user or device is trusted by default, regardless of their location inside or outside the network. Access is granted based on verifying explicitly, enforcing least-privilege access, and assuming breach. This model requires continuous validation of user identities and device compliance before granting access to resources.

The Microsoft 365 Admin Center is designed specifically for IT administrators to manage user accounts, assign and monitor licenses, and configure organization-wide settings. It provides comprehensive tools for managing all aspects of the Microsoft 365 environment.

The Microsoft 365 User Portal is where individual users access their apps and services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, and Teams. It does not have administrative features for managing user accounts, licenses, or organization-wide settings.

Microsoft Teams is a communication and collaboration tool within Microsoft 365. While it is essential for team collaboration, it does not provide administrative features for user and license management.

Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud storage service in Microsoft 365 for individual file storage and sharing. It is not intended for administrative tasks related to user accounts, licenses, or organization-wide configurations.

To analyze detailed Teams user activities, administrators should use the Microsoft Teams usage report available in the Microsoft 365 Admin center. This report offers insights into user interactions within Teams, such as active users, chat messages, and meetings participated in, helping to understand adoption and usage patterns.

The Productivity Score provides a broader overview of organizational productivity metrics but does not offer detailed Teams activity data.

Security & Compliance reports focus on security incidents and compliance issues.

Microsoft Entra ID sign-in reports detail authentication activities but not specific Teams usage.

Microsoft Stream offers video management and sharing capabilities within Microsoft 365, enabling users to upload, share, and manage video content across the organization.

Microsoft Teams facilitates communication and collaboration through chat, meetings, and calls but does not provide dedicated video content management features.

Microsoft OneDrive provides personal cloud storage for file sharing and synchronization.

Microsoft SharePoint is a platform for team collaboration and document management.

To receive service credits for an SLA breach, you must submit a claim by opening a service request in the Microsoft 365 admin center within a designated time frame (typically within 30 days of the incident).

Microsoft does not automatically apply service credits, nor are refunds issued upon request.

Upgrading the subscription does not address the immediate need for compensation due to the outage.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtualized computing resources over the internet, allowing users control over the operating systems and software they use. This means the company can manage and configure its own operating systems and applications. Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers a platform for developing and deploying applications without managing the underlying infrastructure, which limits control over the operating system. Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers fully functional applications without any control over the underlying operating system or infrastructure. Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) allows organizations to backup their data and IT infrastructure to a third-party environment.

The most cost-effective method is to purchase and assign the necessary add-on licenses to the specific users who need the additional features. This allows the organization to enhance functionality for selected users without upgrading users to higher-tier licenses, which would be more expensive. Assigning additional base licenses or purchasing standalone licenses would incur unnecessary costs and may not address the specific feature requirements.
