Managing Office 365 Identities and Requirements — Question 14

You use a centralized identity management system as a source of authority for user account information. You export a list of new user accounts to a file on a daily basis. Your company uses a local Active Directory for storing user accounts for on-premises solutions. You are configuring the Windows Azure Active Directory
Sync tool.
New user accounts must be created in both the local Active Directory and Office 365. You must import user account data into Office 365 daily.
You need to import the new users. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Use the Office 365 admin center to import the file.
• B. Create a Windows PowerShell script to import account data from the file into Active Directory.
• C. Use the Azure Management Portal to import the file.
• D. Create a Windows PowerShell script that uses the MSOnline module to import account data from the file.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because creating a Windows PowerShell script allows for automated and efficient importing of account data into Active Directory, ensuring that the new user accounts are properly synchronized. Options A and C do not directly address the requirement to import the data into Active Directory first, while option D, although it mentions PowerShell, specifically targets Office 365 rather than the local Active Directory setup.
