   Overview
   Litware, Inc. is a financial company that has 1,000 users in its main office in Chicago and 100 users in a branch office in San Francisco.

   Existing Environment

   Internal Network Infrastructure
   The network contains a single domain forest. The forest functional level is Windows Server 2016.

   Users are subject to sign-in hour restrictions as defined in Active Directory.

   The network has the IP address ranges shown in the following table.

   

   The offices connect by using Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).

   The following operating systems are used on the network:

   – Windows Server 2016
   – Windows 10 Enterprise
   – Windows 8.1 Enterprise

   The internal network contains the systems shown in the following table.

   

   Litware uses a third-party email system.

   Cloud Infrastructure
   Litware recently purchased Microsoft 365 subscription licenses for all users.

   Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Connect is installed and uses the default authentication settings. User accounts are not yet synced to Azure AD.

   You have the Microsoft 365 users and groups shown in the following table.

   

   Requirements

   Planned Changes
   Litware plans to implement the following changes:

   – Migrate the email system to Microsoft Exchange Online
   – Implement Azure AD Privileged Identity Management

   Security Requirements

   Litware identifies the following security requirements:

   – Create a group named Group3 that will be used for publishing sensitivity labels to pilot users. – Group3 must only contain user accounts
   – Use Microsoft Defender for Identity to detect any security threats that target the forest
   – Prevent users locked out of Active Directory from signing in to Azure AD and Active Directory
   – Implement a permanent eligible assignment of the Compliance administrator role for User1
   – Configure domain-joined servers to ensure that they report sensor data to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
   – Prevent access to Azure resources for the guest user accounts by default
   – Ensure that all domain-joined computers are registered to Azure AD

   Multi-factor authentication (MFA) Requirements

   Security features of Microsoft Office 365 and Azure will be tested by using pilot Azure user accounts.

   You identify the following requirements for testing MFA:

   – Pilot users must use MFA unless they are signing in from the internal network of the Chicago office. MFA must NOT be used on the Chicago office internal network.
   – If an authentication attempt is suspicious, MFA must be used, regardless of the user location.
   – Any disruption of legitimate authentication attempts must be minimized.

   General Requirements
   Litware wants to minimize the deployment of additional servers and services in the Active Directory forest.

   1. Which IP address space should you include in the Trusted IP MFA configuration?

      • 131.107.83.0/28
      • 192.168.16.0/20
      • 172.16.0.0/24
      • 192.168.0.0/20
      Explanation: 
      Pilot users must use MFA unless they are signing in from the internal network of the Chicago office. MFA must NOT be used on the Chicago office internal network. We must therefore use the IP range of the external network.

    The solution must minimize administrative effort.

    What is the minimum number of groups you should create for each type of membership? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    

    

    Explanation:

    Group 1 has to be assigned because you can’t create a device group based on the device owners’ attributes.
    Group 2 can be dynamic because a user does have a department attribute.
    Group 3 can be dynamic because a device does have a device ownership attribute.

15. Your company has a main office and a Microsoft 365 subscription.

    You need to enforce Microsoft Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) by using conditional access for all users who are NOT physically present in the office.

    What should you include in the configuration?

    You have a Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named contoso.com that contains the users shown in the following table.

    

    You create and enforce an Azure AD Identity Protection user risk policy that has the following settings:

    – Assignments: Include Group1, Exclude Group2
    – Conditions: Sign-in risk of Low and above
    – Access: Allow access, Require password change

    You need to identify how the policy affects User1 and User2.

    What occurs when User1 and User2 sign in from an unfamiliar location? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    

    

    Explanation:

    Box 1: User1 only
    The Azure AD Identity Protection user risk policy is excluded from Group2. Exclusion overrides inclusion. Therefore, the policy will not affect User2. Thus, only User 1 needs to change the Password.

    Box 2: User2 only
    MFA will be triggered for User 2.

17. HOTSPOT

    You have a Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named contoso.com that contains the users shown in the following table.
