Microsoft MS-102 Practice Test 33

Question 320

The organization requires two recovery methods before a user can reset their own password. The team observes: A user resets their password with one method despite a two-method requirement. What is the most likely primary cause of the observed problem?

  1. Custom banned password policy does not include or enforce the weak phrase.
  2. The response never revoked sessions or remediated credentials.
  3. The evaluator ignored another applicable Conditional Access policy or actual membership.
  4. The SSPR reset-method threshold was configured too low.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The SSPR reset-method threshold was configured too low. That issue explains the observed symptom: A user resets their password with one method despite a two-method requirement. The relevant correction is: Configure the number of methods required to reset in password reset policy settings.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Custom banned password policy does not include or enforce the weak phrase. would fit a different circumstance involving: Administrators want to reject a known list of weak company-themed passwords at password change. Here the actual symptom is: A user resets their password with one method despite a two-method requirement.

B:

The response never revoked sessions or remediated credentials. is a plausible failure in another case: An attacker retains a session token after the team only changes a display name. It does not explain the current incident: A user resets their password with one method despite a two-method requirement.

C:

The evaluator ignored another applicable Conditional Access policy or actual membership. would fit a different circumstance involving: A new Conditional Access design is blocking employees who should be outside the pilot group. Here the actual symptom is: A user resets their password with one method despite a two-method requirement.

Question 321

A locked-out employee remembers their password but must unlock the account through self-service without a forced credential change. Which primary Microsoft 365 capability best addresses the stated requirement?

  1. Block unsupported legacy authentication with an appropriate security/access control.
  2. Use authentication method policy targeting by security group.
  3. Use IdFix to identify and remediate supported AD attribute issues before Entra synchronization.
  4. Use supported SSPR account unlock without password reset where eligible.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Use supported SSPR account unlock without password reset where eligible. This decision addresses the specific business context: A locked-out employee remembers their password but must unlock the account through self-service without a forced credential change. It is the architectural choice that supports the expected result: The employee unlocks access and can use the existing valid password.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Block unsupported legacy authentication with an appropriate security/access control. can be useful when a security team needs users to move away from an older legacy authentication mechanism. However, it does not specifically achieve: The employee unlocks access and can use the existing valid password.

B:

Use authentication method policy targeting by security group. addresses another administrative need: Privileged staff should use an approved security-key method but standard employees may use other allowed factors. This question instead requires the outcome: The employee unlocks access and can use the existing valid password.

C:

Use IdFix to identify and remediate supported AD attribute issues before Entra synchronization. can be useful when an enterprise is synchronizing decades-old on-premises directory accounts that have malformed proxy addresses. However, it does not specifically achieve: The employee unlocks access and can use the existing valid password.

Question 322

A locked-out employee remembers their password but must unlock the account through self-service without a forced credential change. What should the administrator configure to deliver the intended result?

  1. Review account enabled state and the sign-in failure reason before changing credentials.
  2. Configure Conditional Access conditions to block legacy client authentication where supported.
  3. Configure and verify the option to unlock an account without changing the password in the supported identity environment.
  4. Check the relevant sync cycle, connector space and source attribute mapping.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Configure and verify the option to unlock an account without changing the password in the supported identity environment. This action operationalizes the selected approach: Use supported SSPR account unlock without password reset where eligible. The organization can then confirm success by checking: The employee unlocks access and can use the existing valid password.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Review account enabled state and the sign-in failure reason before changing credentials. is directed at a separate task: A cloud-only user says her password expired but the help desk needs to differentiate expiry from blocked account status. It does not produce the required configuration outcome: The employee unlocks access and can use the existing valid password.

B:

Configure Conditional Access conditions to block legacy client authentication where supported. implements a different mechanism for: A security team needs users to move away from an older legacy authentication mechanism. It does not configure the mechanism needed here: Use supported SSPR account unlock without password reset where eligible.

D:

Check the relevant sync cycle, connector space and source attribute mapping. is directed at a separate task: A user changes their on-premises display name but Entra never reflects the update. It does not produce the required configuration outcome: The employee unlocks access and can use the existing valid password.

Question 323

A locked-out employee remembers their password but must unlock the account through self-service without a forced credential change. What should be verified to confirm the implementation works?

  1. The temporary code works in its valid window and expires afterward.
  2. The privileged population can register approved keys while other populations follow their policy.
  3. The audit record shows risk detection and the subsequent remediation state.
  4. The employee unlocks access and can use the existing valid password.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The employee unlocks access and can use the existing valid password. This directly checks the stated goal: A locked-out employee remembers their password but must unlock the account through self-service without a forced credential change. It distinguishes success from the reported failure mode: A locked-out employee is forced to change a valid password when only account unlock was required.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The temporary code works in its valid window and expires afterward. would assess a different control. In this case it does not rule out the specific failure: A locked-out employee is forced to change a valid password when only account unlock was required.

B:

The privileged population can register approved keys while other populations follow their policy. is evidence of another system state: Privileged staff should use an approved security-key method but standard employees may use other allowed factors. The acceptance evidence here instead is: The employee unlocks access and can use the existing valid password.

C:

The audit record shows risk detection and the subsequent remediation state. would assess a different control. In this case it does not rule out the specific failure: A locked-out employee is forced to change a valid password when only account unlock was required.

Question 324

A locked-out employee remembers their password but must unlock the account through self-service without a forced credential change. The team observes: A locked-out employee is forced to change a valid password when only account unlock was required. Which implementation gap accounts for the symptom?

  1. The authentication methods policy does not permit Authenticator for the user.
  2. The separate self-service account-unlock option was not enabled or supported in the configured environment.
  3. The sign-in diagnostic evidence was not examined before applying an unrelated fix.
  4. The Conditional Access policy was not targeted to the finance app or device condition.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The separate self-service account-unlock option was not enabled or supported in the configured environment. That issue explains the observed symptom: A locked-out employee is forced to change a valid password when only account unlock was required. The relevant correction is: Configure and verify the option to unlock an account without changing the password in the supported identity environment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The authentication methods policy does not permit Authenticator for the user. would fit a different circumstance involving: A tenant wants to enroll staff in Microsoft Authenticator for supported push and passwordless authentication. Here the actual symptom is: A locked-out employee is forced to change a valid password when only account unlock was required.

C:

The sign-in diagnostic evidence was not examined before applying an unrelated fix. is a plausible failure in another case: The administrator resets the user's password without checking the sign-in event that failed. It does not explain the current incident: A locked-out employee is forced to change a valid password when only account unlock was required.

D:

The Conditional Access policy was not targeted to the finance app or device condition. would fit a different circumstance involving: Users accessing a finance app from unmanaged devices must pass a policy condition rather than receive unrestricted access. Here the actual symptom is: A locked-out employee is forced to change a valid password when only account unlock was required.

Question 325

Administrators want to reject a known list of weak company-themed passwords at password change. Which technology or control should the team select for this specific need?

  1. Use approved phishing-resistant authentication methods such as FIDO2 security keys where supported.
  2. Inspect Microsoft Entra sign-in logs for that event.
  3. Configure Microsoft Entra Password Protection with a custom banned password list.
  4. Investigate the sync deletion event and restore source identity through the supported recovery process.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Configure Microsoft Entra Password Protection with a custom banned password list. This decision addresses the specific business context: Administrators want to reject a known list of weak company-themed passwords at password change. It is the architectural choice that supports the expected result: A prohibited company-themed password is rejected during a test change.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Use approved phishing-resistant authentication methods such as FIDO2 security keys where supported. can be useful when employees must register a phishing-resistant sign-in factor instead of relying on SMS codes. However, it does not specifically achieve: A prohibited company-themed password is rejected during a test change.

B:

Inspect Microsoft Entra sign-in logs for that event. addresses another administrative need: A user reports an interactive login failure and the admin needs the actual sign-in error and Conditional Access outcome. This question instead requires the outcome: A prohibited company-themed password is rejected during a test change.

D:

Investigate the sync deletion event and restore source identity through the supported recovery process. can be useful when after an accidental on-premises account deletion, a synchronized user disappears from the Microsoft 365 directory. However, it does not specifically achieve: A prohibited company-themed password is rejected during a test change.

Question 326

Administrators want to reject a known list of weak company-themed passwords at password change. Which implementation step most directly establishes the required behavior?

  1. Update or require re-registration of the permitted MFA method for the affected user.
  2. Target the privileged group with the required method and check exclusions and prerequisites.
  3. Inspect identity protection risk detections and the relevant user and sign-in risk levels.
  4. Define the banned terms and enable the policy for the applicable users.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Define the banned terms and enable the policy for the applicable users. This action operationalizes the selected approach: Configure Microsoft Entra Password Protection with a custom banned password list. The organization can then confirm success by checking: A prohibited company-themed password is rejected during a test change.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Update or require re-registration of the permitted MFA method for the affected user. is directed at a separate task: A user cannot pass MFA because a registered phone number is out of date. It does not produce the required configuration outcome: A prohibited company-themed password is rejected during a test change.

B:

Target the privileged group with the required method and check exclusions and prerequisites. implements a different mechanism for: Privileged staff should use an approved security-key method but standard employees may use other allowed factors. It does not configure the mechanism needed here: Configure Microsoft Entra Password Protection with a custom banned password list.

C:

Inspect identity protection risk detections and the relevant user and sign-in risk levels. is directed at a separate task: The organization must distinguish risk that a user account is compromised from risk attached to one specific login. It does not produce the required configuration outcome: A prohibited company-themed password is rejected during a test change.

Question 327

Administrators want to reject a known list of weak company-themed passwords at password change. Which acceptance result is most directly relevant to this scenario?

  1. Modern eligible clients continue working while legacy attempts are denied.
  2. A prohibited company-themed password is rejected during a test change.
  3. Pilot users complete the intended registration and sign-in without a broad outage.
  4. Risky sign-ins are identified and handled according to the configured grant action.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A prohibited company-themed password is rejected during a test change. This directly checks the stated goal: Administrators want to reject a known list of weak company-themed passwords at password change. It distinguishes success from the reported failure mode: New users can select a published weak company keyword as their password.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Modern eligible clients continue working while legacy attempts are denied. would assess a different control. In this case it does not rule out the specific failure: New users can select a published weak company keyword as their password.

C:

Pilot users complete the intended registration and sign-in without a broad outage. is evidence of another system state: The security team wants to avoid requiring every user to enroll in a sign-in method not yet supported on their devices. The acceptance evidence here instead is: A prohibited company-themed password is rejected during a test change.

D:

Risky sign-ins are identified and handled according to the configured grant action. would assess a different control. In this case it does not rule out the specific failure: New users can select a published weak company keyword as their password.

Question 328

Administrators want to reject a known list of weak company-themed passwords at password change. The team observes: New users can select a published weak company keyword as their password. What root cause should be investigated first?

  1. Custom banned password policy does not include or enforce the weak phrase.
  2. Method policy targeting or registration prerequisites do not match the intended user.
  3. The team deployed a new authentication method to everyone without readiness validation.
  4. The synchronization scope included an unintended OU.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Custom banned password policy does not include or enforce the weak phrase. That issue explains the observed symptom: New users can select a published weak company keyword as their password. The relevant correction is: Define the banned terms and enable the policy for the applicable users.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Method policy targeting or registration prerequisites do not match the intended user. would fit a different circumstance involving: Privileged staff should use an approved security-key method but standard employees may use other allowed factors. Here the actual symptom is: New users can select a published weak company keyword as their password.

C:

The team deployed a new authentication method to everyone without readiness validation. is a plausible failure in another case: A global policy blocks users on unsupported legacy devices overnight. It does not explain the current incident: New users can select a published weak company keyword as their password.

D:

The synchronization scope included an unintended OU. would fit a different circumstance involving: Only employees in two Active Directory OUs should be synchronized to Microsoft Entra ID. Here the actual symptom is: New users can select a published weak company keyword as their password.

Question 329

An organization extends cloud password protection to on-premises AD Domain Services. What design decision would best satisfy the stated constraint?

  1. Inspect Microsoft Entra sign-in logs for that event.
  2. Validate both authentication method registration and actual sign-in events.
  3. Deploy Microsoft Entra Password Protection agents for on-premises Active Directory.
  4. Use synchronization run and provisioning logs to locate the failing stage.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Deploy Microsoft Entra Password Protection agents for on-premises Active Directory. This decision addresses the specific business context: An organization extends cloud password protection to on-premises AD Domain Services. It is the architectural choice that supports the expected result: The on-premises domain controller enforces configured banned-password controls.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Inspect Microsoft Entra sign-in logs for that event. can be useful when a user reports an interactive login failure and the admin needs the actual sign-in error and Conditional Access outcome. However, it does not specifically achieve: The on-premises domain controller enforces configured banned-password controls.

B:

Validate both authentication method registration and actual sign-in events. addresses another administrative need: A passwordless rollout requires administrators to distinguish a new registration from a completed successful sign-in. This question instead requires the outcome: The on-premises domain controller enforces configured banned-password controls.

D:

Use synchronization run and provisioning logs to locate the failing stage. can be useful when a provisioning operator must tell whether a user failed before import, during sync transformation or at cloud export. However, it does not specifically achieve: The on-premises domain controller enforces configured banned-password controls.

Question 330

An organization extends cloud password protection to on-premises AD Domain Services. Which setup action best implements the selected mechanism?

  1. Review account enabled state and the sign-in failure reason before changing credentials.
  2. Filter sign-in logs by user, time, app and status then open the authentication details.
  3. Install the supported proxy and DC agents and register the forest as required.
  4. Install Cloud Sync provisioning agents and configure a cloud synchronization provisioning configuration.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Install the supported proxy and DC agents and register the forest as required. This action operationalizes the selected approach: Deploy Microsoft Entra Password Protection agents for on-premises Active Directory. The organization can then confirm success by checking: The on-premises domain controller enforces configured banned-password controls.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Review account enabled state and the sign-in failure reason before changing credentials. is directed at a separate task: A cloud-only user says her password expired but the help desk needs to differentiate expiry from blocked account status. It does not produce the required configuration outcome: The on-premises domain controller enforces configured banned-password controls.

B:

Filter sign-in logs by user, time, app and status then open the authentication details. implements a different mechanism for: A user reports an interactive login failure and the admin needs the actual sign-in error and Conditional Access outcome. It does not configure the mechanism needed here: Deploy Microsoft Entra Password Protection agents for on-premises Active Directory.

D:

Install Cloud Sync provisioning agents and configure a cloud synchronization provisioning configuration. is directed at a separate task: A branch wants lightweight cloud-managed synchronization agents instead of a full dedicated Connect Sync server. It does not produce the required configuration outcome: The on-premises domain controller enforces configured banned-password controls.
