Microsoft 365 Identity and Services (legacy) — Question 92

Your company has acquired Microsoft 365 for their Active Directory domain, which includes five domain controllers.
Prior to implementing a number of Microsoft 365 services, you are tasked with making use of an authentication solution that allows users to access Microsoft 365 by using their on-premises credentials. The solution should also only make use of the current server infrastructure. Furthermore, must allow for all user passwords to only be stored on-premises, and be highly available.
Solution: You configure the use of password hash synchronization only.
Does the solution meet the goal?

Answer options

• A. Yes
• B. No

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The solution does not meet the goal because password hash synchronization stores password hashes in Azure, which contradicts the requirement of keeping all user passwords stored on-premises. To meet the goal, a solution like Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) would be necessary for true on-premises credential usage without storing passwords in the cloud.
