Your company manufactures parts that are each assigned a unique 12-character alphanumeric serial number.
Emails between the company and its customers reference the serial number.
You need to ensure that only Microsoft Exchange Online emails containing the serial numbers are retained for five years.
Which three objects should you create? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. an auto-labeling policy
  2. a retention policy
  3. a data loss prevention (DLP) policy
  4. a trainable classifier
  5. a sensitivity label
  6. a sensitive info type
  7. a retention label

Answer(s): A,F,G

Explanation:

To achieve this automated compliance requirement, you must create the following three objects in the
Microsoft 365 Purview compliance portal:
An Auto-Labeling Policy: This object publishes the retention label and automatically applies it exclusively to
Exchange Online emails whenever the custom Sensitive Information Type pattern is detected.
A Custom Sensitive Information Type (SIT): This object uses a regular expression (regex) pattern to detect and isolate the unique 12-character alphanumeric serial number format within email bodies or attachments.
A Retention Label: This object defines the specific target compliance rule, ensuring that any content it is attached to is safely preserved for exactly five years.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 tenant that contains a sensitivity label named label1.
You plan to enable co-authoring for encrypted files.
You need to ensure that files that have label1 applied support co-authoring.
Which two settings should you modify? To answer, select the settings in the answer area.
Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Double Key Encryption (DKE) prevents co-authoring because Microsoft 365 services cannot process encrypted content. You must disable this setting to allow real-time collaboration.
Co-authoring requires that permissions are explicitly assigned to users or groups. Without defined permissions,
users won’t be able to access or co-author the document.

● After a project is complete, the documents in Site3 that relate to the project must be retained for 10 years.

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains a Microsoft SharePoint Online site named Site1. Site1
contains a file named File1.
You have a retention policy named Retention1 that has the following settings:
▪ Retain items for a specific period
▪ - Retention period: 5 years
▪ - At the end of the retention period: Delete items automatically
Retention1 is applied to Site1.
You need to ensure that File1 is deleted automatically after seven years. The solution must NOT affect the retention of other files on Site1.
What should you do first?

  1. Publish and apply a new retention label.
  2. Move File1 to a new folder and configure the access control list (ACL) entries for File1.
  3. Create a new retention policy.
  4. Move File1 to a new folder and list the excluded locations for Retention1.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

To ensure the specific file is deleted automatically after seven years without altering the retention behavior of other files on the site, your best first step is to create a new 7-year retention label and publish it to the
SharePoint site.
Granular Control: A retention label applies directly to individual items (files or folders), whereas a retention policy applies broadly to the entire site.
Label Precedence: In Microsoft 365 retention principles, an explicit retention label takes precedence over a broader site-level retention policy if the label is more restrictive or has a different explicit duration applied directly to the item.
Zero Impact on Other Files: Publishing the label makes it available for use, but it will not affect any other files on the site until it is specifically applied to them.

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription.
In Microsoft Exchange Online, you configure the mail flow rule shown in the following exhibit.

Use the drop-down menus to select the answer choice that completes each statement based on the information presented in the graphic.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



Box 1: must sign in to the Message Encryption portal to read messages.
Recipients who use Gmail
Recipients using Gmail can read emails protected by Microsoft Exchange Online mail flow rules set to Protect with OMEv2 (Office Message Encryption version 2). They will typically receive a link to view the message in the
Microsoft Purview Message Encryption portal.
OMEv2 and Gmail:
When a mail flow rule in Exchange Online is configured to protect emails with OMEv2 and the recipient is using
Gmail, the email is not directly readable within Gmail.
The Encryption Portal:
Instead, the recipient will receive an email containing a link to the Microsoft Purview Message Encryption portal.
Accessing the Content:
To read the email and any attachments, the recipient will need to click the link and either sign in with a
Microsoft account or authenticate using a one-time passcode.
Box 2: will have messages decrypted automatically
Recipients from an external Microsoft 365 subscription.
Recipients from an external Microsoft 365 subscription can read emails protected by a Microsoft Exchange
Online mail flow rule set to "Protect with OMEv2" (Microsoft Purview Message Encryption). External recipients will receive a wrapper email with instructions on how to access the encrypted message, either by signing in with their Microsoft account, Google account, Yahoo account, or by using a one-time passcode.
OMEv2 (Microsoft Purview Message Encryption):
This feature encrypts emails as they are sent, using a mail flow rule, ensuring that only authorized recipients can read them.
External Recipient Access:
When an external recipient (from a different Microsoft 365 tenant or even another email provider like Gmail or
Yahoo) receives an email encrypted with OMEv2, they will receive a wrapper email that directs them to a portal.
Accessing the Encrypted Message:
The portal will then allow the recipient to authenticate using their existing Microsoft account, a Google or Yahoo account, or by requesting a one-time passcode.
First-class Reading Experience:
If the external recipient uses Outlook on the web, desktop, or mobile, they will generally have a seamless reading experience once authenticated.
No Special Software Required:
The recipient does not need to install any additional software or apps to read the message.
Wrapper Email:
The wrapper email is a standard email that contains information about the encrypted message and instructions on how to access it.
How to block outgoing emails with mail flow rules in Office 365
In essence, OMEv2 provides a secure way to share sensitive information with external recipients without requiring them to be part of the same Microsoft 365 organization.

You need to ensure that encrypted email sent to external recipients expires after seven days.
What should you create first?

  1. a mail flow rule
  2. an X.509 version 3 certificate
  3. a custom branding template
  4. a remote domain in Microsoft Exchange
  5. a connector in Microsoft Exchange

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

You can use message expiration on emails that your users send to external recipients who use the OME Portal to access encrypted emails. You force recipients to use the OME portal to view and reply to encrypted emails sent by your organization by using a *custom branded template* that specifies an expiration date in
PowerShell.
Note: Create a custom branding template to force mail expiration by using PowerShell
1. Using a work or school account that has sufficient permissions in your organization, such as Compliance
Administrator, start a Windows PowerShell session and connect to Exchange Online. For instructions, see
Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell.
2. Run the New-OMEConfiguration cmdlet.
New-OMEConfiguration -Identity "Expire in 7 days" -ExternalMailExpiryInDays 7
Where:
Identity is the name of the custom template.
ExternalMailExpiryInDays identifies the number of days that recipients can keep mail before it expires. You can use any value between 1–730 days.
