Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert
Running a Microsoft 365 tenant: domains, licensing and least-privilege administration, hybrid identity with the authentication model that survives an outage, Conditional Access, the four Defender workloads correlated into incidents, and Purview classification, DLP and retention.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Deploy and manage a Microsoft 365 tenant | 25-30% |
| Implement and manage Microsoft Entra identity and access | 25-30% |
| Manage security and threats by using Microsoft Defender XDR | 30-35% |
| Manage compliance by using Microsoft Purview | 10-15% |
Two sample questions
1. Which practice supports a break glass account being available?
- Applying every policy to it as well
- Leaving it entirely untested for several years
- Excluding it from the policies and testing it — correct
- Sharing its credential with everybody
Why: An untested emergency account fails at the moment it is needed.
2. A deleted Exchange Online item was purged by the user, but single item recovery is on. Can an admin recover it?
- No, purged items are gone at once
- Yes, within the retention period — correct
- Only with Litigation Hold set
- Only from a tenant backup
Why: Single item recovery lets an admin recover purged items within the retention period.
