Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
Your organization uses group-based licensing in Microsoft Entra ID. One group assigns Microsoft 365 E3 with every service plan enabled. A second group assigns the same product but with the Exchange Online service plan disabled. A user is a member of both groups. After the group assignments are evaluated, what is the resulting license configuration for the user?
The user receives a single Microsoft 365 E3 license with Exchange Online disabled because the most restrictive assignment is applied.
The user is placed in a conflict state and no license is applied until an administrator resolves the mismatch.
The user receives a single Microsoft 365 E3 license with Exchange Online enabled because the service plans from the two assignments are combined.
Two Microsoft 365 E3 licenses are consumed-one from each group-and Exchange Online remains disabled.
When the same product license is assigned to a user through multiple groups, Microsoft Entra ID resolves any differences by taking the union of the individual assignments. A service plan is enabled if it is enabled in at least one of the assignments. Therefore, the user consumes only one Microsoft 365 E3 license and ends up with Exchange Online (and all other service plans) enabled. No additional licenses are consumed, and the assignment does not enter a conflict state because the union rule eliminates the discrepancy.
