Google Associate Google Workspace Administrator Exam - Topic 3 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Associate Google Workspace Administrator exam
Question #: 4
Topic #: 3
[All Associate Google Workspace Administrator Questions]

Your organization recently deployed Google Workspace. Over 3,000 external contacts were shared in public folders in Microsoft Exchange before the implementation. You need to ensure that these external contacts appear to domain users in Gmail. What should you do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The Domain Shared Contacts API allows you to add external contacts to the Google Workspace directory, making them available to all users in the domain. This is the most effective and scalable solution for adding a large number of external contacts (like the 3,000 from Microsoft Exchange) to your Google Workspace environment. Once the contacts are added to the directory, they will be accessible to all users in Gmail and other Google Workspace apps.

Creating a user account for external contacts seems like overkill. I doubt that's the best practice for this situation.

The Domain Shared Contacts API sounds familiar. I feel like we discussed it in relation to managing contacts, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think exporting to a CSV and having users import it is a bit cumbersome. There must be a more efficient way, right?

I remember something about using Google Cloud Directory Sync, but I'm not entirely sure if it can handle external contacts directly.

I've got this! Option B is definitely the way to go. Using the Directory Sync tool will make the migration process much smoother and more automated than the other options.

Option A might work, but it sounds like a lot of manual effort. I'd rather automate this as much as possible, so I'm leaning towards Option B or C.

Haha, Option D is hilarious. Creating a user account and delegating 3,000 contacts? What is this, the IT version of 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice'?

I'd go with Option C. Using the API seems more robust than relying on a CSV file or a user account. Plus, it's probably more scalable for a 3,000 contact migration.
