1. Question 1Configure and Manage Teams

   Where do you manage org-wide Teams settings, policies, and users?

   • AThe Microsoft 365 admin center (Microsoft 365 admin center home)
   • BThe Microsoft Purview compliance portal
   • CThe Microsoft Entra admin center
   • DThe Microsoft Teams admin centerCorrect
   ✓ Correct answer: D

   The Microsoft Teams admin center (https://admin.teams.microsoft.com) is the centralized portal for managing all organization-wide Teams settings, including policies, user configurations, teams, channels, and app management. This is where administrators configure global settings, manage compliance, and oversee all Teams resources across the organization.

   Why the other options are wrong

   • AThe Microsoft 365 admin center handles licensing and broad tenant tasks, but org-wide Teams policies and settings live in the dedicated Teams admin center.
   • BThe Purview compliance portal manages retention, eDiscovery, and DLP, not day-to-day Teams policies and user configuration.
   • CThe Entra admin center manages identity, groups, and Conditional Access, but Teams-specific policies are configured in the Teams admin center.
2. Question 2Monitor, Report, and Manage Compliance

   Which restricts communication between groups (information barriers)?

   • AA Conditional Access policy
   • BA DLP policy scoped to Teams
   • CInformation barrier policiesCorrect
   • DAn external access (federation) block list
   ✓ Correct answer: C

   Information barrier policies in Microsoft Purview define communication restrictions between specific user groups, preventing them from collaborating or discovering each other within Teams, SharePoint, and other collaboration services. These policies are essential for organizations in regulated industries such as financial services and law firms where information walls must be enforced to prevent conflicts of interest. The policies function at the service level and prevent cross-group communication even if users are in the same team.

   Why the other options are wrong

   • AA Conditional Access policy controls sign-in conditions like MFA and device state, not communication between internal user groups.
   • BA DLP policy prevents sharing of sensitive content patterns; it does not stop two groups from communicating with each other.
   • DA federation block list restricts external domains, not communication between internal groups within the organization.
3. Question 3Manage Chat, Calling, and MeetingsSelect all that apply

   Which TWO cmdlets are part of configuring Direct Routing connectivity in Teams? (Choose TWO)

   • ANew-CsOnlineVoiceRouteCorrect
   • BNew-CsOnlinePSTNGatewayCorrect
   • CNew-CsCallingPlan
   • DNew-CsAudioConferencingNumber
   ✓ Correct answer: A, B

   Direct Routing configuration in Teams requires creating voice routes and PSTN gateways. The New-CsOnlinePSTNGateway cmdlet registers the organization's Session Border Controller (SBC) with the Teams infrastructure, providing the endpoint information for routing calls to the PSTN infrastructure. The New-CsOnlineVoiceRoute cmdlet defines routing rules that determine which traffic should go to the PSTN gateway, including dial patterns and gateway assignments. Together, these cmdlets establish the connectivity path from Teams to external PSTN networks through Direct Routing.

   Why the other options are wrong

   • CNew-CsCallingPlan creates calling plan assignments for users, which is an alternative to Direct Routing, not a component of Direct Routing configuration.
   • DNew-CsAudioConferencingNumber assigns audio conferencing phone numbers, which relates to meeting connectivity, not Direct Routing call routing.
4. Question 4Manage Teams and App Policies

   An M365 group expiration policy is set to 180 days. A team is active with ongoing chat but its owners ignore renewal emails. What happens?

   • AIt is deleted exactly at the 180-day mark regardless of any recent chat, meeting, or file activity at all
   • BMicrosoft 365 Group expiration policies simply do not apply to any team-connected groups at all
   • CActivity-based auto-renewal can renew it automatically if the group has had recent activity, even without owner actionCorrect
   • DThe team is automatically archived and set read-only instead of ever being deleted when the owners ignore the renewal emails
   ✓ Correct answer: C

   Microsoft 365 group expiration includes activity-based auto-renewal: if members are actively using the group's services (for example posting in Teams channels, accessing the SharePoint site, or using the group mailbox) within the renewal window, the group is renewed automatically. Because the team in this scenario has ongoing chat activity, that activity triggers auto-renewal even though the owners ignore the renewal emails. As a result the team is not deleted at 180 days.

   Why the other options are wrong

   • AWith activity-based renewal, an active group is renewed rather than deleted at the deadline.
   • BExpiration policies do apply to Teams-connected groups, so this is false.
   • DExpiration deletes rather than archives; there is no archive step in the expiration flow.
5. Question 5Manage Chat, Calling, and Meetings

   Which migration approach moves SharePoint and file content into Teams-backed sites at scale?

   • AThe Exchange Online mailbox migration service
   • BThe Teams PowerShell New-Team import
   • COneDrive Known Folder Move
   • DMicrosoft SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) / Migration ManagerCorrect
   ✓ Correct answer: D

   SPMT and Migration Manager are Microsoft's primary tools for migrating SharePoint site collections and file content at scale into Teams-backed SharePoint Online sites. These tools handle bulk content migration with file permission preservation, metadata mapping, and URL redirection. Migration Manager (the newer web-based version) provides a cloud-based migration portal where you queue hundreds of tasks, monitor progress, and handle post-migration validation. This approach preserves Teams integration with SharePoint for files, wikis, and document libraries within team ownership.

   Why the other options are wrong

   • AThe Exchange mailbox migration service moves email data, not SharePoint sites and files into Teams-backed sites.
   • BNew-Team creates teams; it does not migrate existing SharePoint and file content into those teams' sites.
   • CKnown Folder Move redirects a user's desktop and documents to OneDrive; it does not migrate SharePoint site content at scale.
6. Question 6Manage Teams and App Policies

   Which policy blocks users from installing a specific risky third-party app while still allowing Microsoft apps?

   • AAn app setup policy
   • BAn app permission policyCorrect
   • CThe org-wide custom app upload setting
   • DA messaging policy
   ✓ Correct answer: B

   App permission policies in Teams provide fine-grained control over which apps users can install by specifying allow lists and block lists at the organization, team, and user level. A policy can block specific third-party apps while continuing to allow Microsoft-provided apps and other approved third-party apps. This granular control prevents installation of risky or non-compliant apps while maintaining productivity through trusted applications.

   Why the other options are wrong

   • AAn app setup policy pins and preinstalls apps; it does not block a specific risky app from being installed.
   • CThe custom app upload setting toggles sideloading of in-house apps tenant-wide; it does not selectively block a published third-party app.
   • DA messaging policy governs chat features and cannot allow or block specific apps.
7. Question 7Manage Chat, Calling, and MeetingsSelect all that apply

   An administrator at Northwind Traders is planning to use meeting settings. Which two of the following are requirements or features of this solution? (Choose two.)

   • ATeams calling plans
   • BVoicemail configuration
   • CAuto attendantsCorrect
   • DSettings meeting
   • EEmergency callingCorrect
   ✓ Correct answer: C, E

   Auto attendants answer and route inbound calls with menus and greetings, and emergency calling handles routing of emergency (911) calls with caller location information. Both are administered through the Microsoft Teams admin center and supporting Microsoft 365 portals, and they fit the scenario because they are the components an administrator actually provisions and governs for this solution. Selecting them aligns the configuration with the documented Teams capability rather than with renamed labels or unrelated features.

   Why the other options are wrong

   • ATeams calling plans is unrelated to this solution and is not one of the components an administrator configures for it.
   • BVoicemail configuration manages cloud voicemail behavior, greetings, and transcription, which is a separate capability not part of this solution.
   • DThe phrase 'settings meeting' is a reordered label rather than a real, distinct feature, so it is not something an administrator configures here.
8. Question 8Manage Teams and App PoliciesSelect all that apply

   A consultant is reviewing the Tasks by Planner configuration at Fabrikam Inc. Which two actions should be performed to optimize the implementation? (Choose two.)

   • ALOB app deployment
   • BDisable Tasks by Planner monitoring
   • CApp centric managementCorrect
   • DBookings in TeamsCorrect
   • EMessaging extensions
   ✓ Correct answer: C, D

   Tasks by Planner optimization requires app-centric management to ensure proper permission controls, policy enforcement, and task visibility across Teams channels and personal contexts. Additionally, Bookings in Teams should be configured alongside Tasks because both tools manage resource allocation and scheduling, with Bookings handling appointment scheduling while Planner manages task workflows. Coordinating these two systems prevents scheduling conflicts and provides integrated resource planning.

   Why the other options are wrong

   • ALOB app deployment is incorrect because deploying legacy business applications does not directly optimize Planner functionality.
   • BDisable Tasks by Planner monitoring is incorrect because monitoring is essential for tracking task completion rates, identifying bottlenecks, and measuring productivity metrics.
   • EMessaging extensions is incorrect because message composition tools do not address Planner's core task management and resource coordination capabilities.
9. Question 9Monitor, Report, and Manage ComplianceSelect all that apply

   Adatum Corporation must automatically stop users from sharing credit-card and national-ID numbers in Teams chats and channels, and it must preserve a named custodian's Teams messages unaltered for the duration of a lawsuit. Which TWO should the administrator configure? (Choose two.)

   • AData loss prevention (DLP) for TeamsCorrect
   • BA legal hold (eDiscovery hold)Correct
   • CA retention policy set to delete
   • DCommunication compliance
   • ESensitivity labels
   ✓ Correct answer: A, B

   DLP for Teams inspects chat and channel messages and blocks the sharing of sensitive information such as credit-card and national-ID numbers based on sensitive information types. A legal hold placed through eDiscovery preserves the named custodian's Teams messages so they cannot be altered or permanently deleted during litigation. Together they prevent oversharing and preserve evidence.

   Why the other options are wrong

   • CA retention policy set to delete removes content after a period, which is the opposite of preserving a custodian's messages for a lawsuit.
   • DCommunication compliance flags risky messages for reviewer action but does not automatically block credit-card sharing or place an immutable legal hold.
   • ESensitivity labels classify and protect content and containers; they do not automatically block sending specific data types or preserve messages for litigation.
10. Question 10Manage Chat, Calling, and Meetings

    An organizer wants attendees in a large training session to be split into smaller discussion groups and then brought back together. Which meeting feature should they use?

    • ABreakout roomsCorrect
    • BTogether mode
    • CLive events
    • DSpotlight
    ✓ Correct answer: A

    Breakout rooms allow a meeting organizer (or appointed breakout-room manager) to create multiple smaller rooms, assign participants automatically or manually, broadcast announcements, and close the rooms to return everyone to the main session. This is the intended feature for interactive group work during a meeting. The ability to use breakout rooms can be governed by meeting policy.

    Why the other options are wrong

    • BTogether mode places participants in a shared virtual background for a unified visual experience but does not create separate discussion sub-sessions.
    • CLive events broadcast one-to-many to large audiences with limited interaction and do not support splitting attendees into small groups.
    • DSpotlight pins a specific video feed for everyone but does not divide the meeting into separate rooms.
