Microsoft 365 Messaging — Question 9
Your company has a Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 hybrid deployment.
Users in the advertising department and the editorial department of the company have mailboxes in Exchange Online.
A company policy requires that the advertising department users and the editorial department users be segmented based on the following requirements:
✑ The advertising department users must not see the editorial department users in the global address list (GAL).
✑ The editorial department users must not see the advertising department users in the GAL.
✑ The editorial department users must be treated as external recipients of the advertising department users.
✑ The advertising department users must be treated as external recipients of the editorial department users.
You need to recommend a solution that meets the requirements and minimizes costs and effort.
What should you recommend?
Answer options
- A. Migrate all the mailboxes of the advertising department to the on-premises organization, and then enable address book policy (ABP) routing.
- B. In the Exchange Online tenant, create separate address book policies (ABPs) for the advertising and editorial departments.
- C. Purchase an additional Microsoft 365 subscription, and then migrate all the mailboxes of the advertising department to the new subscription.
- D. Create two address book policies (ABPs) in Exchange Online, and then enable ABP routing for the Exchange Online tenant.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because creating two address book policies (ABPs) in Exchange Online and enabling ABP routing effectively segments the users according to the requirements without additional costs. Option A is not optimal as it involves migrating mailboxes back on-premises, which increases complexity. Option B, while partially correct, does not mention enabling ABP routing. Option C unnecessarily incurs extra costs with an additional subscription.
