[All MS-102 Questions]

You need to ensure that all the sales department users can authenticate successfully during Project1 and Project2.

Which authentication strategy should you implement for the pilot projects?

Apass-through authentication

Bpass-through authentication and seamless SSO

Cpassword hash synchronization and seamless SSO

Dpassword hash synchronization

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Project1: During Project1, the mailboxes of 100 users in the sales department will be moved to Microsoft 365.

Project2: After the successful completion of Project1, Microsoft Teams & Skype for Business will be enabled in Microsoft 365 for the sales department users.

After the planned migration to Microsoft 365, all users must be signed in to on-premises and cloud-based applications automatically.

Fabrikam does NOT plan to implement identity federation.

After the planned migration to Microsoft 365, all users must continue to authenticate to their mailbox and to SharePoint sites by using their UPN.

You need to enable password hash synchronization to enable the users to continue to authenticate to their mailbox and to SharePoint sites by using their UPN.

You need to enable SSO to enable all users to be signed in to on-premises and cloud-based applications automatically.

I'd go with B) - pass-through and SSO, keeps things simple but secure.

Seamless SSO? More like "Seamless Snooze-Fest", amirite? But B) is still the best choice.

A) pass-through authentication is too basic, B) is the clear winner here.

I vaguely remember that pass-through authentication might be easier to set up, but I’m not confident it would work well for both projects.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like password hash synchronization is important for security, but I can't recall if it needs to be paired with SSO.

Alright, I've got a strategy. I'll start by considering the security and user experience implications of each approach. That should help me narrow it down.

Okay, I think I know the difference between pass-through and hash synchronization, but I'm not sure about the "seamless SSO" part. I'll need to review that.
