Server, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager is used to manage all client computers.

The customer plans to migrate some workloads to Microsoft Online Services while retaining other workloads on-premises.

• B. Microsoft 365 Enterprise E3 User Subscription Licenses (USLs)
• C. Office 365 Enterprise E3 User Subscription Licenses (USLs), Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 USLs, and Office 365 ProPlus USLs
• D. Office 365 E3 Enterprise User Subscription Licenses (USLs) and Windows Server CALs

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it provides comprehensive access to both the Microsoft 365 services and the necessary Enterprise CAL Suite licenses, ensuring users can access the latest Windows features while migrating workloads. Options B, C, and D do not include the complete set of services required for this transition, either lacking the necessary CALs or not providing the full feature set needed for Windows 10 users.
