Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
A user account in your Microsoft 365 tenant has started sending large volumes of phishing email. You must immediately prevent the account from sending any further messages, but the user still needs to sign in to SharePoint Online to retrieve files required for an ongoing investigation. You will complete full remediation within the next hour. In the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, which action should you take to meet the requirement?
Configure the user's mailbox send quota to 0 MB in Exchange Online.
Reset the user's password and enable an Azure AD Identity Protection user-risk policy.
Place the mailbox on Litigation Hold in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
Add the user to the Restricted entities list under Email & collaboration.
Adding the account to the Restricted entities list in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 blocks the user from sending outbound email while still allowing sign-in to Microsoft 365 services such as SharePoint Online. The other options either do not stop outbound mail quickly (resetting the password and enabling a user-risk policy), remove the ability to sign in (disabling outbound mail by quota manipulation is not a supported control for this scenario), or are designed only to preserve mailbox data (placing the mailbox on Litigation Hold) and do not block message transmission.
