Question 5 Topic 7, Mixed Questions

You are the M365 administrator for your organization. Your company has created a policy that requires that the mailboxes of
employees that have left the organization be retained for content searches for three years and then be automatically deleted.
You also need the licenses assigned to the users to be available for reassignment to new employees.
Select all the actions that will accomplish this task. Every selection is part of the overall solution. (Choose two.)

  • A. Delete the user account
  • B. Block the user account
  • C. Assign an AIP policy
  • D. Assign a retention policy
  • E. Create an eDiscovery case
Answer:

A D


Explanation:
Blocking the user account will prevent logins, but not release the license you must delete the account to release the
license. You could alternatively block and manually release the license, but that is not one of the answer options.
AIP is for protection (classify, label and encrypt), not retention. It can also not auto-delete things. You must use a retention
label.
It is not required to open an eDiscovery case yet. It will be possible in future, but not needed to meet the objectives of the
question.
