Question 1 of 10
Objective Configure domains in Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft 365 Implement and manage user identities

After adding and verifying contoso.com, administrators use it for new user sign-ins. An older integration still references the tenant's original contoso.onmicrosoft.com domain. What is true about that initial domain?

Concept tested:
Question 2 of 10
Objective Manage device join and registration Implement and manage user identities

Corporate Windows devices must remain joined to on-premises Active Directory while also receiving Microsoft Entra device identities for cloud access. Which device state matches?

Concept tested:
Question 3 of 10
Objective Test and implement advanced Conditional Access capabilities Implement authentication and access management

An administrator wants to observe how a new Conditional Access policy evaluates real sign-ins for two weeks without blocking users or requiring its configured controls. Which policy state should be used?

Concept tested:
Question 4 of 10
Objective Implement Conditional Access App Control and app policies Plan and implement workload identities

Security administrators want Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to inspect supported cloud-app sessions in real time after Microsoft Entra Conditional Access routes matching users to the control. Which architecture provides that inline visibility and control?

Concept tested:
Question 5 of 10
Objective Monitor and improve Identity Secure Score Plan and automate identity governance

A tenant's Identity Secure Score has remained flat for three months. The security lead wants a tenant-specific list of recommended configuration changes rather than treating the percentage as a permanent certification. What should the team review?

Concept tested:
Question 6 of 10
Objective Plan, implement, and manage Microsoft Entra user authentication Implement authentication and access management (20–25%)

Your organization is migrating several legacy web applications to Azure using a lift-and-shift strategy and requires continued support for traditional authentication methods. To maintain compatibility with these applications, which Microsoft service should you implement to provide managed domain services?

Concept tested:
Question 7 of 10
Objective Manage identity risk with Microsoft Entra ID Protection Implement authentication and access management

Microsoft Entra ID Protection repeatedly flags a user's identity after leaked credentials are detected, even when the user's latest sign-in originates from a familiar office location. Which risk should the administrator use to evaluate the likelihood that the identity itself is compromised?

Concept tested:
Question 8 of 10
Objective Plan and implement managed identities for Azure workloads Plan and implement workload identities

Three supported Azure workloads perform the same job and need identical access to one Key Vault. Security wants one principal and one permission assignment, with no separate audit boundary between workloads. What should be configured before the workloads request tokens?

Concept tested:
Question 9 of 10
Objective Monitor identity activity with logs, workbooks, and KQL Plan and automate identity governance

A user reports a blocked authentication attempt. The investigator needs the attempt's status, client application, location, risk context, and Conditional Access evaluation—not a record of a directory-setting change or a provisioning job. Which log should be examined first?

Concept tested:
Question 10 of 10
Objective Plan, implement, and manage access reviews in Microsoft Entra Plan and automate identity governance (20–25%)

An identity-governance team wants one Microsoft Entra access review covering multiple resources and recommendations based on inactive users, rather than a basic review of membership in a single group. Which licensing level is specifically required for these enhanced access-review capabilities?

Pro-only bank questions stay locked; this section mirrors only the 10 free daily questions already shown on this page.

Question 1 After adding and verifying contoso.com, administrators use it for new user sign-ins. An older integration still references the tenant's original contoso.onmicrosoft.com domain. What is true about that initial domain?

Answer choices

  1. A. It is automatically deleted when the first custom domain is verified
  2. B. It becomes an unverified external domain, within the defined security and accountability boundaries.
  3. C. It can be used only after another DNS verification, within the implement and manage user identities context.
  4. D. It remains available after custom domains are added, as the selected approach for the stated technical and business outcome.

Correct answer

It remains available after custom domains are added, as the selected approach for the stated technical and business outcome.

The tenant's initial onmicrosoft.com domain remains available even after verified custom domains are added. Verification enables a custom domain for uses such as a UPN suffix but does not remove the initial tenant domain.

Wrong-answer review

  • A. It is automatically deleted when the first custom domain is verified: Adding a custom domain does not trigger deletion of the tenant's original onmicrosoft.com domain.
  • B. It becomes an unverified external domain, within the defined security and accountability boundaries.: The initial domain belongs to the tenant and does not become an external unverified domain after customization.
  • C. It can be used only after another DNS verification, within the implement and manage user identities context.: DNS verification is required for added custom domains, not for re-establishing the tenant's existing initial domain.

Extra learning features

Why this matters

Misconfiguring custom domains can disrupt user sign-in processes, leading to service outages and impacting user productivity. Understanding the persistence of the initial domain is crucial for maintaining a stable and reliable identity infrastructure, preventing costly downtime and ensuring a seamless user experience.

Objective/domain: Implement and manage user identities

Source: Add your custom domain name using the Microsoft Entra admin center

Question 2 Corporate Windows devices must remain joined to on-premises Active Directory while also receiving Microsoft Entra device identities for cloud access. Which device state matches?

  2. B. Microsoft Entra registered for BYOD only, under this approach.
  3. C. Microsoft Entra joined with no AD DS membership, for consideration.
  4. D. A cloud-only user object, under the documented operational and governance requirements.

Objective/domain: Implement and manage user identities

Source: What is a device identity?

Question 3 An administrator wants to observe how a new Conditional Access policy evaluates real sign-ins for two weeks without blocking users or requiring its configured controls. Which policy state should be used?

  2. B. A reverse proxy used by Conditional Access App Control, under this approach.
  3. C. An application registration with delegated permissions, within the defined security and accountability boundaries.

Correct answer

A reverse proxy used by Conditional Access App Control, under this approach.

Objective/domain: Plan and implement workload identities

Source: Use Conditional Access App Control

Question 5 A tenant's Identity Secure Score has remained flat for three months. The security lead wants a tenant-specific list of recommended configuration changes rather than treating the percentage as a permanent certification. What should the team review?

Answer choices

  1. A. Only the current percentage, because its value guarantees resistance to compromise, as described.
  2. B. Application sign-in logs, because every failed sign-in automatically defines a score change
  3. C. Identity Secure Score improvement actions and score history, under the documented operational and governance requirements.
  4. D. A one-time export of guest users with no recommendation data, for the stated security, delivery, and accountability requirements.

Correct answer

Identity Secure Score improvement actions and score history, under the documented operational and governance requirements.

Objective/domain: Plan and automate identity governance

Source: What is the Identity Secure Score?

Question 6 Your organization is migrating several legacy web applications to Azure using a lift-and-shift strategy and requires continued support for traditional authentication methods. To maintain compatibility with these applications, which Microsoft service should you implement to provide managed domain services?

Answer choices

  1. A. Microsoft Entra External ID enables secure access for external users through federated authentication.
  2. B. Microsoft Defender for Identity provides threat detection and remediation for Active Directory environments.
  3. C. Microsoft Azure AD Application Proxy provides secure remote access to on-premises web applications.

  2. B. Sign-in risk, under the documented operational and governance requirements.
  3. C. Application risk, as selected.

Objective/domain: Implement authentication and access management

Source: Microsoft Entra ID Protection risk-based access policies

Question 8 Three supported Azure workloads perform the same job and need identical access to one Key Vault. Security wants one principal and one permission assignment, with no separate audit boundary between workloads. What should be configured before the workloads request tokens?

Answer choices

  1. A. Create three system-assigned identities with unrelated permissions, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, for this decision.
  2. B. Assign one user-assigned managed identity to all three workloads and authorize that identity on the vault, for evaluation.
  3. C. Embed one shared client secret in all three workloads, for the stated implementation and support requirements.
  4. D. Use three user-assigned identities but grant none of them access to the vault, under the documented operational and governance requirements.

Correct answer

Assign one user-assigned managed identity to all three workloads and authorize that identity on the vault, for evaluation.

Objective/domain: Plan and implement workload identities

Source: Managed identities for Azure resources

Question 9 A user reports a blocked authentication attempt. The investigator needs the attempt's status, client application, location, risk context, and Conditional Access evaluation—not a record of a directory-setting change or a provisioning job. Which log should be examined first?

Answer choices

  2. B. Microsoft Entra ID Governance or Entra Suite licensing for enhanced access reviews
  3. C. Microsoft 365 E3 alone, because standard group membership reports include the multi-resource access review feature.
