Microsoft 365 Messaging — Question 50

You have two servers named EXCH1 and EXCH2 that run Windows Server 2012 R2 and have Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 installed.

You purchase a Microsoft 365 subscription. You plan to configure a hybrid deployment between an Exchange Online tenant and the on-premises Exchange Server organization.

You need to identify the prerequisites to installing the Microsoft Hybrid Agent on EXCH1 and EXCH2.

Which two prerequisites should you identify? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. Enable TLS 1.2.
• B. Upgrade the operating system of EXCH1 and EXCH2 to Windows Server 2019.
• C. Enable Hybrid Modem Authentication (HMA).
• D. Allow outbound HTTPS connections to Microsoft Online Services.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A and D. Enabling TLS 1.2 is essential for secure communication, as it is required for the Microsoft Hybrid Agent. Allowing outbound HTTPS connections to Microsoft Online Services is necessary for the servers to communicate with the Microsoft 365 environment. Upgrading to Windows Server 2019 (B) is not mandatory for this hybrid setup, and Hybrid Modem Authentication (C) is not a prerequisite for the Microsoft Hybrid Agent installation.
