Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
Contoso plans to retire a legacy shared mailbox used by the Finance department. You must implement a cloud-only solution that automatically keeps its membership in sync with the Department attribute, provides a collaborative workspace for chat, files, and Planner tasks, and continues to accept mail sent to [email protected]. Which object type and configuration should you create in Microsoft 365 to meet all of the requirements?
A shared mailbox with delegated Full Access and Send As permissions for all Finance users.
A dynamic distribution group that filters recipients by Department equals "Finance".
A Microsoft 365 group that uses an Azure AD dynamic membership rule where Department equals "Finance".
A mail-enabled security group whose members are synchronized from on-premises Active Directory.
Microsoft 365 groups are the only recipient type that simultaneously: 1) provides a mailbox address, 2) exposes a SharePoint document library, Teams channel, and Planner plan for collaboration, and 3) supports Azure AD dynamic user membership rules. Creating a Microsoft 365 group whose membership rule includes users where Department equals "Finance" keeps the group current without manual administration.
Shared mailboxes cannot be made dynamic and offer no integrated workspace. Mail-enabled security groups provide mail delivery but no Teams or SharePoint resources, and only security groups (not mail-enabled security groups) are eligible for dynamic membership. Dynamic distribution groups can query Department, but they are mail-only objects and cannot be used for persistent collaboration or Teams. Therefore, a dynamically populated Microsoft 365 group is the only option that fulfills every requirement.
