Microsoft 365 Identity and Services (legacy) — Question 41

After your company migrates their on-premises email solution to Microsoft Exchange Online, you are tasked with assessing which licenses to acquire.
You are informed that licenses acquired for the company's IT and Managers groups should allow for the following:
✑ The IT group needs to have access to the Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Privileged Identity Management.
✑ Both the IT and Managers groups should have access to Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) conditional access.
You need to make sure that the licensing costs are kept to a minimum.
Which two of the following options should you recommend? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. You should acquire Microsoft 365 E3 licenses for the Managers group members.
• B. You should acquire Microsoft 365 E5 licenses for the Managers group members.
• C. You should acquire Microsoft 365 E3 licenses for the IT group members.
• D. You should acquire Microsoft 365 E5 licenses for the IT group members.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct options, A and D, provide the necessary features for the IT group to access Azure AD Privileged Identity Management with E5 licenses, while E3 licenses for the Managers group suffice for conditional access, keeping costs lower. Options B and C do not meet the requirements fully; B offers unnecessary features for Managers, and C does not provide the required access for the IT group.
