10 of 815+ questions
Question #1 - Plan and Configure a Microsoft Teams Environment
A 10,000-user organization deploys Teams. The admin needs to control who can create Teams to prevent sprawl while still allowing departments to request new Teams through an approval process.
Which governance configuration should be implemented?
A) Disable Team creation entirely
B) Allow everyone to create Teams freely
C) Restrict Team creation to a security group of approved requesters, with a Power Automate approval flow for others
D) Create all Teams from a single admin account
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
Restricting creation to a security group controls sprawl while an approval workflow enables structured requests from non-authorized users. Free creation causes unmanaged proliferation. Disabling creation blocks legitimate collaboration. Single-admin creation creates a bottleneck. Source: Check Source
Question #2 - Plan and Configure a Microsoft Teams Environment
A 10,000-user org deploys Teams. The admin needs to control Team creation to prevent sprawl while allowing approval requests.
Which governance configuration should be implemented?
A) Allow every user to create Teams freely without any governance restrictions or approval process
B) Disable Team creation entirely preventing all users from establishing any new collaboration spaces
C) Restrict Team creation to a security group with a Power Automate approval flow for requests
D) Create all Teams exclusively from a single admin account creating a bottleneck for all requests
Show solution
Correct answers: C – Explanation:
Restricting creation to a security group controls sprawl while an approval workflow enables structured requests from non-authorized users balancing governance with agility. Free creation for all users causes unmanaged proliferation of Teams with inconsistent naming and duplicate purposes. Complete disabling blocks legitimate collaboration needs and prevents departments from establishing necessary workspaces. Single-admin creation creates a dependency bottleneck where all Teams requests flow through one person. Source: Check Source
Question #3 - Plan and Configure a Microsoft Teams Environment
External partners join as guests. The admin must ensure guests access only specific invited teams without discovering others.
Which Teams setting should be configured?
A) Create a completely separate tenant exclusively for guests fragmenting all collaboration efforts
B) Disable all guest access entirely preventing external collaboration with any partner organization
C) Configure Guest Access policies with team-level guest permissions managed by individual owners
D) Give guest users Global Admin access granting them unrestricted access across the entire tenant
Show solution
Correct answers: C – Explanation:
Guest access policies combined with team-owner controls limit guest visibility and access to only the teams they are explicitly invited to join. Global Admin access would give guests unrestricted access to the entire organization which is a severe security violation. Disabling all guest access blocks legitimate external collaboration required for partner and vendor relationships. Separate tenants fragment communication requiring users to switch between tenants for internal and external collaboration. Source: Check Source
Question #4 - Plan and Configure a Microsoft Teams Environment
Branch office users report choppy audio and video. The admin needs to assess network readiness for Teams.
Which tool should the admin use?
A) Consumer speed test websites measuring download throughput without real-time communication metrics
B) Microsoft Teams Network Assessment Tool measuring latency, jitter, and packet loss against requirements
C) Simple ping tests to microsoft.com which measure basic connectivity without media quality analysis
D) Traceroute to Azure datacenters showing routing paths without measuring media quality indicators
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
The Teams Network Assessment Tool measures specific real-time media quality metrics including latency, jitter, and packet loss against Teams requirements. Ping tests provide basic connectivity checks without measuring the media-quality-specific metrics that affect audio and video. Consumer speed tests measure bulk download throughput which does not correlate with real-time communication quality requirements. Traceroute shows network routing topology without measuring the quality metrics that determine media performance. Source: Check Source
Question #5 - Plan and Configure a Microsoft Teams Environment
A global company implements QoS to prioritize Teams real-time media traffic on their corporate network.
Which QoS configuration should be applied?
A) Block all non-Teams network traffic during business hours which disrupts other critical applications
B) Configure DSCP marking for Teams media traffic with port-based GPO policies on managed endpoints
C) Use only Wi-Fi connections for all Teams calls which may introduce additional jitter and variability
D) No QoS configuration is needed on modern networks since bandwidth is always sufficient everywhere
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
DSCP marking tags real-time media packets with priority values that network equipment uses for preferential forwarding during congestion periods. Modern networks still experience congestion during peak usage making QoS beneficial for real-time media quality. Blocking non-Teams traffic disrupts other critical business applications and is a disproportionate network management approach. Wi-Fi-only policies may introduce additional jitter and variability compared to wired connections without addressing traffic prioritization. Source: Check Source
Question #6 - Manage Chat, Teams, Channels, and Apps
A compliance team requires all Teams messages retained for 5 years with no user deletion allowed during that period.
Which feature should the admin configure?
A) Microsoft Purview retention policy for Teams with a 5-year retain-then-delete compliance setting
B) Teams messaging policy disabling the delete button which can be bypassed by Purview at the data level
C) Ask all users not to delete any messages trusting voluntary compliance across the entire organization
D) Azure Backup for Teams data providing infrastructure backup without compliance-grade retention enforcement
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Purview retention policies enforce retention periods on Teams messages at the compliance level regardless of user deletion actions, meeting regulatory requirements. User requests for voluntary compliance are unenforceable and unreliable across a large organization over five years. Messaging policies disable the UI delete option but Purview provides the legal-grade retention guarantee required for compliance. Azure Backup is an infrastructure recovery tool and does not provide the compliance-grade retention policy enforcement that regulations require. Source: Check Source
Question #7 - Manage Chat, Teams, Channels, and Apps
A firm deploys a custom LOB app to all Teams users. Only approved apps should appear in the Teams app store.
Which admin setting controls the app catalog?
A) Allow all third-party apps unrestricted creating security and compliance risk from unvetted apps
B) Let each individual user install whatever apps they choose without any organizational governance
C) Disable the Teams app store entirely removing access to all productivity-enhancing applications
D) App Permission Policies whitelisting approved apps with App Setup Policies pinning the LOB app
Show solution
Correct answers: D – Explanation:
App Permission Policies control which apps are available while blocking unapproved ones, and App Setup Policies pin the LOB app to every user’s app bar for discoverability. Unrestricted third-party access creates security risks from unvetted applications accessing organizational data. Disabling the store entirely removes access to productivity-enhancing applications that have been properly evaluated. Individual user choice without governance creates an inconsistent and potentially insecure application landscape. Source: Check Source
Question #8 - Manage Chat, Teams, Channels, and Apps
HR needs a private channel where only HR managers access sensitive compensation discussions, invisible to other team members.
Which channel type should be created?
A) A Private channel with membership limited to HR managers restricting all visibility from others
B) A shared channel spanning across teams which is designed for cross-team rather than restricted use
C) Post-meeting message deletion which loses records and does not restrict access during discussions
D) A standard channel with a verbal reminder to keep content confidential without technical restriction
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Private channels restrict visibility and access to specified members only — other team members cannot see the channel name, content, or conversations in any view. Standard channels are visible to all team members and rely on voluntary confidentiality rather than technical enforcement. Shared channels connect members across different teams which is the opposite of the restricted-access requirement. Message deletion loses valuable HR records and does not prevent unauthorized real-time access during discussions. Source: Check Source
Question #9 - Manage Meetings and Calling
A company uses Teams Phone. External callers need a greeting with options: Sales (1), Support (2), Operator (0).
Which Teams calling feature should be configured?
A) An IVR system from a third party with no Teams integration fragmenting the calling experience
B) Voicemail greetings configured on each individual user account without any menu routing logic
C) A shared physical desk phone on the reception desk requiring a person to answer every call
D) A Teams Auto Attendant with menu options routing callers to departmental call queues
Show solution
Correct answers: D – Explanation:
Auto Attendants provide automated call handling with configurable menu options routing callers to departmental call queues or specific users based on their selection. Individual voicemail greetings play messages but do not route callers to departments based on menu selections. Physical reception phones require constant human attendance and cannot provide automated menu-driven routing. Third-party IVR without Teams integration fragments the unified calling experience and requires managing separate systems. Source: Check Source
Question #10 - Manage Meetings and Calling
An organization needs all-hands meetings supporting 10,000 attendees with presenter controls, Q&A, and recording.
Which Teams meeting type should be used?
A) A Teams webinar supporting up to 1,000 participants with registration and structured presentation
B) A Teams Town Hall supporting up to 10,000 attendees with structured presentation and moderated Q&A
C) A regular Teams meeting which has lower participant limits than the 10,000 attendee requirement
D) A Teams channel meeting limited to team members which cannot accommodate 10,000 organization users
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
Teams Town Halls support up to 10,000 attendees with structured presenter/attendee roles, moderated Q&A, recording, and broadcast-quality delivery features. Regular meetings have lower participant limits and lack the structured broadcast format needed for all-hands events. Webinars support up to 1,000 participants with registration which is insufficient for the 10,000-attendee requirement. Channel meetings are limited to team membership and do not support the scale or broadcast format needed for organization-wide events. Source: Check Source
