Microsoft 365 Fundamentals Practice Test (MS-900)

Microsoft 365 enables seamless collaboration across devices and locations with cloud-based tools. Employees can access emails, documents, and applications from anywhere, supporting a hybrid work environment. The other options either impose limitations or require additional steps that impede flexibility.

Requiring VPN connections adds complexity and can hinder user experience.

Providing on-premises storage without cloud integration limits remote access.

Restricting document access to office networks prevents employees from working remotely effectively.

The most cost-effective method is to purchase and assign the necessary add-on licenses to the specific users who need the additional features. This allows the organization to enhance functionality for selected users without upgrading users to higher-tier licenses, which would be more expensive. Assigning additional base licenses or purchasing standalone licenses would incur unnecessary costs and may not address the specific feature requirements.

Microsoft Viva Insights provides analytics and personalized recommendations designed to improve employee productivity, work patterns, and well-being. It offers insights at individual, team, and organizational levels, helping employees schedule focus time, take breaks, and find balance in their work routines.

Microsoft Power Automate is a tool for automating workflows and tasks across Microsoft 365 and other applications. While it improves productivity, it does not offer analytics or recommendations focused on work patterns or well-being.

Microsoft Sway is a presentation and storytelling tool that allows users to create interactive reports and presentations. It is not designed for tracking or improving work patterns or employee well-being.

Microsoft Planner is a task and project management tool that helps teams organize, assign, and track tasks. It supports collaboration but does not provide analytics or well-being insights.

Public cloud providers own and maintain the physical infrastructure, so customers do not have to purchase servers, storage devices, or networking hardware up front. This removes large capital expenditures (CapEx) and replaces them with pay-as-you-go operational expenses (OpEx).

The other choices can reduce certain costs, but they are either still required (e.g., software subscriptions) or are secondary savings (e.g., power, cooling, or accounting treatments)-they are not the most significant financial advantage.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is designed to safeguard users against threats in email and collaboration tools, including phishing attacks and malicious attachments. It provides protection for services like Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Teams.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint protects endpoint devices.

Microsoft Defender for Identity detects identity-based threats.

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps secures cloud applications.

OneDrive for Business provides personal cloud storage for users within Microsoft 365, enabling them to store, sync, and share work files from any device. OneDrive for Business is specifically designed for individual users to manage their files, whereas SharePoint Online focuses on team collaboration and shared resources across an organization. Microsoft Exchange Online is dedicated to email and calendar services, and Microsoft Teams is a communication platform for chat, meetings, and calls, not specifically for personal file storage.

Personal insights in Microsoft Viva Insights provide individual employees with personalized recommendations to enhance their productivity and wellbeing. These suggestions include scheduling focus time, taking breaks, and reflecting on work habits.

Manager insights and Organizational insights are designed for managers and leaders to gain aggregated insights about team and organizational work patterns, not for providing personal recommendations to employees.

Advanced insights is not a capability that offers personalized suggestions to individual users.

The organization is using the cloud identity model because all user accounts are managed directly in Microsoft Entra ID without on-premises infrastructure or synchronization.

The hybrid identity model involves synchronizing on-premises Active Directory with Microsoft Entra ID.

The on-premises identity model refers to managing user accounts on local servers without cloud integration.

Federated identity is a type of hybrid identity where authentication is managed through federation services.

Microsoft Secure Score provides a numerical assessment of an organization's security posture by evaluating their current security settings and practices within Microsoft 365. It offers actionable recommendations for improvement, allowing organizations to prioritize and implement security enhancements effectively.

Secure Score does not automatically apply recommended settings, enforce compliance with industry regulations, or remediate security issues without administrator intervention. Instead, it serves as a strategic tool to guide security administrators in strengthening their organization's security posture.

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is the best fit because it provides an environment for developers to build, test, and deploy applications without the overhead of managing underlying infrastructure. PaaS offers the necessary tools and services to streamline the development process.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) still requires the organization to manage servers and networking components, while

Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers fully developed applications that might not meet the need for custom development.

On-Premises Deployment requires managing all hardware and software internally.

A base license grants users access to the core services and functionalities of Microsoft 365. It's the foundational license every user needs before any additional features can be added. Add-on licenses enhance or extend the capabilities provided by the base license but do not include the core services on their own. Supplemental and volume licenses refer to different licensing models and do not necessarily provide the essential services required by users.

OneDrive for Business enables users to store personal work files in the cloud, access them from any device, and share them with colleagues for real-time collaboration. It integrates with Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, enhancing teamwork and productivity.

Microsoft Teams is primarily for chat-based collaboration and meetings.

Microsoft Stream is used for video content management.

Microsoft Exchange Online focuses on email and calendar services.

The most appropriate way for the administrator to request support is to submit a new service request through the Microsoft 365 admin center. This method allows the administrator to provide detailed information about the issue directly to Microsoft support, ensuring a timely and efficient response.

While calling support or sending an email may seem helpful, using the admin center streamlines the process and offers tracking of the request.

Waiting for Microsoft to resolve the issue without reporting it could result in unnecessary delays.

Windows Autopilot is the correct choice because it enables the deployment of new Windows devices directly to users with minimal IT involvement. It allows devices to be pre-configured and enrolled into Microsoft Intune automatically when the user turns on the device. This streamlines the setup process for remote employees.

Endpoint Analytics provides insights into device performance and user experience but does not assist in deploying new devices.

Co-management with Configuration Manager is useful for managing devices that are co-managed between Intune and Configuration Manager but requires more infrastructure and is not ideal for deploying new devices to remote users.

Microsoft Intune with manual enrollment would require each device to be enrolled manually, which is less efficient than using Windows Autopilot.

Azure Virtual Desktop allows organizations to host virtual desktops and applications in the cloud while maintaining full control over the virtualization infrastructure and offering extensive customization options.

Windows 365 simplifies the deployment by providing Cloud PCs with less management overhead but offers less control over the infrastructure.

Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Endpoint Manager are for managing devices and applications, not for providing virtual desktops.
