You need to meet the retention requirement for the users' Microsoft 365 data.
What is the minimum number of retention policies required to achieve the goal?

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4
  5. 6

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The requirement states that all Microsoft 365 data for users must be retained for at least one year. In Microsoft
365, retention policies must be configured for each type of data storage.
Step 1: Identifying Where Data is Stored
From the case study, users store data in the following locations:
● SharePoint Online sites
● OneDrive accounts
● Exchange email
● Exchange public folders
● Teams chats
● Teams channel messages
Since these locations fall under two broad categories:
● Microsoft Exchange data (Emails, Public folders)
● SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data
Step 2: Required Retention Policies
1. A single retention policy can cover:
● SharePoint Online
● OneDrive
● Microsoft Teams
2. A second retention policy is required for:
● Exchange (Emails & Public Folders)
Thus, the minimum number of retention policies required to meet the requirement is 2.
Microsoft 365 retention policies can be applied broadly across multiple services with just two policies:
● One for Exchange & Public Folders
● One for SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams
There's no need for separate policies for each individual workload unless different retention durations are required, which is not stated in the requirement.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You have a Microsoft SharePoint Online site that contains the following files.

Users are assigned roles for the site as shown in the following table.

Which files can User1 and User2 open? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




User1: User1 is a Site Owner, meaning they have full control over all files in the site. Even though File3.docx is blocked by DLP, a Site Owner can override or manage DLP restrictions and still access all files.
User2: User2 is a Site Member, meaning they have standard permissions to view and edit files unless blocked.
File1.docx has no DLP action, so User2 can access it. File2.docx is matched by DLP, but it is not blocked, so
User2 can still access it. File3.docx is blocked by DLP, which means User2 cannot access it.

You are planning a data loss prevention (DLP) solution that will apply to Windows Client computers.
You need to ensure that when users attempt to copy a file that contains sensitive information to a USB storage device, the following requirements are met:
● If the users are members of a group named Group1, the users must be allowed to copy the file, and an event must be recorded in the audit log.
● All other users must be blocked from copying the file.
What should you create?

  1. one DLP policy that contains one DLP rule
  2. one DLP policy that contains two DLP rules
  3. two DLP policies that each contains one DLP rule

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To meet the requirements, you need one DLP policy with two separate DLP rules to handle the different conditions:
1. First DLP Rule (For Group1 Members): If the user is a member of Group1 and attempts to copy a file with sensitive data to a USB storage device. Allow the file copy but log the event in the audit log.
2. Second DLP Rule (For All Other Users): If any user who is NOT in Group1 attempts to copy a file with sensitive data to a USB storage device. Block the file transfer.

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription.
You need to ensure that users can apply retention labels to individual documents in their Microsoft SharePoint libraries.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. From Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, create a file policy.
  2. From the SharePoint admin center, modify the Site Settings.
  3. From the SharePoint ad min center, modify the records management settings.
  4. From the Microsoft Purview portal, publish a label.
  5. From the Microsoft Purview portal, create a label.

Answer(s): D,E

Explanation:

To allow users to apply retention labels to individual documents in Microsoft SharePoint libraries, you need to create a retention label and publish the label.
In Microsoft Purview, retention labels define how long content should be retained or deleted. You must first create a label that specifies the retention rules. After creating the label, you must publish it so that it becomes available for users in SharePoint document libraries. Once published, users can manually apply the retention label to individual documents.

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains a Microsoft SharePoint Online site named Site1.
You need to implement Microsoft Purview data lifecycle management.
What should you create first?

  1. a sensitivity label policy
  2. a data loss prevention (DLP) policy
  3. an auto-labeling policy
  4. a retention label

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

To implement Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management for SharePoint Online (Site1), you need to create a retention label first. Retention labels define how long content should be retained or deleted based on compliance requirements. Once a retention label is created, it can be manually or automatically applied to content in SharePoint Online, Exchange, OneDrive, and Teams. After creating a retention label, you can configure label policies to apply them to Site1 and other locations.
