Google Workspace Associate Administrator — Question 10

You need to ensure that data owned by former employees remains available in Google Vault. You want to use the most cost-effective solution.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Migrate the former employees’ Gmail to their manager(s) by using the data migration service during the deletion process. Transfer the former employees’ Google Drive files to a new owner.
• B. Change the Google account passwords of the former employees.
• C. Suspend the former employees’ Google accounts. Create an organizational unit (OU). Move the former employees into that OU.
• D. Assign an Archived User license to the former employees’ Google accounts.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as assigning an Archived User license allows you to retain the data in Google Vault without needing to keep the accounts active. Options A and C involve transferring data or changing account status but do not directly address the cost-effectiveness of data retention. Option B does not retain data in Google Vault and does not provide any long-term solution for access.
