Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question

You administer a Microsoft Entra tenant that currently authenticates hybrid users by using Password Hash Synchronization (PHS) with Seamless Single Sign-On (Seamless SSO). New compliance rules require that account lockout policies configured in the on-premises Active Directory must also apply when users sign in to Microsoft 365, but management does not want to deploy AD FS.

You must modify the authentication configuration to meet the requirement while

  • keeping the existing Seamless SSO user experience, and
  • ensuring you can quickly revert to the current state without forcing users to re-enter their credentials.

In Microsoft Entra Connect, which change should you make?

  • Change the sign-in method to federated authentication with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS).

  • Disable Password Hash Synchronization and enable Pass-through Authentication as the only sign-in method.

  • Enable Pass-through Authentication and keep Password Hash Synchronization enabled as a backup sign-in method.

  • Retain Password Hash Synchronization but enable Azure AD Password Protection for Active Directory.
