Describe Microsoft 365 apps and services for Microsoft 365 Fundamentals (MS-900)

Sample Practice Questions

1. Question 1

   You need to consider the underlined segment to establish whether it is accurate. All applications will remain in a hybrid environment after migrating to Microsoft Azure. Select No adjustment required if the underlined segment is accurate. If the underlined segment is inaccurate, select the accurate option.
   1. A. No adjustment required.
   2. B. Applications that manage sensitive information
   3. C. Applications where access requires a USB-token device
   4. D. All legacy applications
   Explanation

   The correct answer is: C. Applications where access requires a USB-token device.

   The accurate version of the underlined claim is that applications where access requires a USB-token device will remain in a hybrid environment after migrating to Microsoft Azure, because the hardware dependency on a physically attached token cannot be replicated for cloud-only access patterns. USB-token authentication binds the credential to a device that is plugged into a user's workstation, and that binding does not translate to a remote-desktop or pure-cloud access model without significant re-engineering or smart-card-virtualization layers. Sensitive information by itself is not a barrier to Azure adoption — Azure offers compliance certifications, customer-managed encryption keys, and confidential computing that handle highly regulated and sensitive workloads. "All legacy applications" is too broad: many legacy line-of-business apps lift-and-shift cleanly onto Azure Virtual Machines via the IaaS service model, and those that cannot are usually a small subset rather than the whole category. "No adjustment required" is incorrect because the original blanket claim that all applications stay hybrid is not true; most apps can move, and only specific hardware-dependent or otherwise unportable categories like USB-token-secured apps remain on-premises.

2. Question 2

   Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. Your company plans to move their Server environment to the cloud. You have been tasked with identifying a cloud model that allows for the current email environment to be upgraded, while also reducing server and application maintenance. You need to make sure that the requirements are met. Solution: You recommend the Platform as a service (PaaS) model. Does the solution meet the goal?
   1. A. Yes
   2. B. No
   Explanation

   The correct answer is: B. No.

   The requirement is to upgrade the email environment and reduce server and application maintenance, which points to a fully managed email service such as Exchange Online delivered through the Software as a Service (SaaS) model where Microsoft handles infrastructure, patching, application updates, and high availability. Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a managed runtime for custom applications, such as Azure App Service, but it does not deliver a finished email product and would still require the company to build or maintain an email application stack. Recommending PaaS therefore does not satisfy either the upgrade or the reduced-maintenance requirement, because the customer would still own the application layer. The correct cloud model is SaaS, so the proposed PaaS solution does not meet the goal and the answer is No.

3. Question 3

   Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements. Your company plans to move their Server environment to the cloud. You have been tasked with identifying a cloud model that allows for the current email environment to be upgraded, while also reducing server and application maintenance. You need to make sure that the requirements are met. Solution: You recommend the Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) model. Does the solution meet the goal?
   1. A. Yes
   2. B. No
   Explanation

   The correct answer is: B. No.

   The goal is to upgrade the email environment while reducing server and application maintenance, which is the value proposition of a managed email SaaS such as Exchange Online where Microsoft owns infrastructure, patching, application versioning, and high availability. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtual machines, storage, and networking, but the customer is still responsible for the operating system, the mail server software, patches, updates, and backups, which means it does not reduce server and application maintenance and does not deliver an automatic upgrade of the email stack. Recommending IaaS therefore leaves significant administrative burden in place and fails the second requirement. The correct cloud model is SaaS, so the proposed IaaS solution does not meet the goal and the answer is No.

4. Question 4

   DRAG DROP - Your company has a Microsoft 365 subscription. You have been tasked making sure that the IT department users can obtain Office 365 preview features prior to it being deployed to the rest of the company's users. Which of the following are the two actions that would meet your goal? Answer by dragging the correct options from the list to the answer area. Select and Place:

5. Question 5

   You need to consider the underlined segment to establish whether it is accurate. To ensure that when a new Microsoft Word feature is available for worker to install as soon as it becomes available, you should subscribe to the Targeted release channel. Select `No adjustment required` if the underlined segment is accurate. If the underlined segment is inaccurate, select the accurate option.
   1. A. No adjustment required.
   2. B. Standard release
   3. C. Semi-annual
   4. D. Annual
   Explanation

   The correct answer is: A. No adjustment required..

   The correct answer is No adjustment required. The Targeted release channel, formerly known as First Release, is the Microsoft 365 update ring designed precisely to let selected users or the entire organization receive new features as soon as they are ready, ahead of broad deployment. The Standard release channel ships features only after they have completed the Targeted phase, so it would delay, not accelerate, availability and contradicts the requirement. Semi-annual and Annual options refer to slower enterprise update cadences historically associated with Office and Windows servicing channels and are intended for organizations that want extended validation windows rather than the earliest possible delivery. Because the underlined Targeted release channel already names the fastest standard option for getting new Microsoft Word features the moment they become available, no substitution is necessary and the statement stands as written.
