Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
During initial Microsoft 365 sign-up you are asked to provide organization details. Your compliance team requires that all core customer data for Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Microsoft Teams is stored in German datacenters by default. No licenses have been purchased yet, and you want to avoid later migration. Which action during the tenant-creation wizard is mandatory to satisfy the requirement and cannot be changed after the tenant is provisioned?
Select a German Azure region for Azure Active Directory before provisioning.
Choose "Germany" as the organization's country/region on the sign-up page.
Add the custom domain Contoso.de during sign-up so the initial tenant domain ends with .de.onmicrosoft.com.
Purchase and assign Microsoft 365 Multi-Geo licenses, then set Germany as the Preferred Data Location.
Microsoft determines the default data-at-rest location for a new tenant from the country/region that you choose on the organization-information page of the sign-up wizard. Selecting Germany causes Microsoft 365 to provision the tenant in the Germany geo, ensuring that Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Teams data is stored in German datacenters. The country/region selection becomes permanently tied to the tenant and cannot be edited later.
Specifying an Azure region has no effect on Microsoft 365 data residency, Multi-Geo licenses can add additional geographies only after a tenant exists, and adding a German custom domain does not influence where Microsoft hosts the tenant's data.
