AB-900 Sample Questions Answers

The correct selections are The Microsoft 365 admin center and A billing policy . Microsoft documents that Microsoft 365 Copilot pay-as-you-go is administered in the Microsoft 365 admin center , specifically under Copilot > Billing & usage , where admins create and manage billing policies . Microsoft explains that a billing policy defines the billing infrastructure for pay-as-you-go, including the Azure subscription and the set of users covered by that policy. That user scoping is what allows organizations to separate usage and spending by groups such as departments.

Microsoft also documents that billing policies support budgets , spending views , and monitoring current expenses for services linked to the policy. This supports the requirement for greater visibility into Copilot usage costs and forecasting departmental spending. By assigning different departments to different billing policies, the organization can track Copilot costs by department. The other listed features do not fit: auto-claim policy is unrelated to cost tracking, and Copilot connector is for external data grounding, not billing segmentation.

The correct answer is C. Microsoft Graph . Microsoft documents that Microsoft 365 Copilot combines large language models with content and context from the Microsoft Graph to generate grounded responses. Microsoft Graph provides access to organizational data and signals across Microsoft 365 services, including SharePoint , OneDrive , Exchange , Teams , calendars, chats, files, and other work content. When SharePoint data is relevant to the prompt and the user already has permission to access it, Copilot uses Microsoft Graph as the layer that retrieves and grounds that corporate data for the response.

The other options are incorrect for this question. Microsoft Intune is used for endpoint and device management. Microsoft Defender is used for threat protection and security operations. Microsoft Purview provides compliance, governance, data protection, and risk management capabilities. While Copilot honors Purview protections and Microsoft 365 permissions, the specific service it uses to access and ground responses in SharePoint-based corporate data is Microsoft Graph . Therefore, the correct answer is Microsoft Graph .

The correct answer is Connectors . Microsoft documents that Microsoft 365 Copilot connectors are used to bring external, line-of-business data into Microsoft 365 Copilot so users can search, reason over, and act on content from non-Microsoft systems. Microsoft also states that admins must enable and configure Copilot connectors in the Microsoft 365 admin center , and once configured, those connectors can be selected as knowledge sources for custom agents. This directly matches the requirement to let users use an external system as a knowledge source for custom Microsoft 365 Copilot agents.

This is why the hotspot in the Copilot area should be set to Connectors , not Overview, Agents, Search, Billing & usage, or Settings. Overview provides status information, Agents is for agent management, Search is for Microsoft Search experiences, and Billing & usage is for metering and consumption tracking. The specific admin feature that enables external enterprise data sources for agent grounding is Connectors . Microsoft further explains that configured connectors can expose external knowledge securely and respect source-level permissions when used in agent scenarios.

The correct answer is C. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint . Microsoft documents that Defender for Endpoint is the Microsoft security solution for endpoint devices , including Windows 11 , and that it lets security teams investigate incidents, alerts, affected devices, files, processes, and remediation actions in the Microsoft Defender portal. Microsoft’s investigation guidance specifically describes using Defender for Endpoint to review alerts and investigate affected devices from the devices list, alerts queue, and incident views.

The other options do not match this requirement. Microsoft Entra ID Protection is for risky users and risky sign-ins, not device incident investigation. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management focuses on risky user behavior such as data theft or exfiltration, not endpoint security alerts from Windows devices. Microsoft Defender for Identity monitors on-premises and hybrid identity signals from Active Directory environments, not Windows 11 endpoint incidents. For security incidents and alerts raised from organization-managed Windows 11 devices, Microsoft’s documented solution is Microsoft Defender for Endpoint .

The correct answer is C. Run the prompt. Scheduled prompts in Microsoft 365 Copilot are based on an existing Copilot prompt interaction. The practical workflow is to run the prompt first, then use the scheduling option for that prompt to define when and how often it should run, such as midnight. Saving a prompt is useful for reuse, but the question asks what task must be included to schedule a prompt execution. Creating an agent is a separate customization workflow and is not required to schedule a normal Copilot prompt. Creating a notebook is also unrelated; notebooks organize materials and chats but do not create a scheduled prompt run by themselves. The required action is to run the prompt so it can be scheduled.

The correct answer is A . Microsoft Learn defines Zero Trust as a security strategy built on the principles verify explicitly , use least privilege access , and assume breach . Microsoft also summarizes Zero Trust as a model that assumes breach and verifies every request , rather than trusting users, devices, or traffic simply because they originate from inside the corporate network. This is the key reason option A is correct. Under Zero Trust, every access request should be evaluated continuously using available signals such as identity, device state, location, service, and risk.

Option B is incorrect because improving user experience is not the defining principle of Zero Trust. Option C is incorrect because Zero Trust requires ongoing review and adjustment of permissions, especially through least privilege and risk-based access. Option D is incorrect because Zero Trust explicitly rejects implicit trust based on network location. Microsoft states that organizations should reduce reliance on the traditional idea that anything on the internal network is automatically safe or trustworthy.

The correct answer is B. the Microsoft 365 admin center . Microsoft documents that administrators assign product licenses to users from the Microsoft 365 admin center , including on the Active users page where you can open a user account and manage Licenses and apps . Microsoft also documents license assignment workflows there for both direct assignment and group-based licensing scenarios. That makes the Microsoft 365 admin center the standard administrative portal for giving a user access to Microsoft 365 services and features.

The other options are incorrect for this task. The Microsoft Purview portal is used for compliance, governance, data protection, eDiscovery, audit, and related Purview solutions, not for assigning Microsoft 365 product licenses. The Microsoft Teams admin center is used to manage Teams settings, policies, devices, voice, and collaboration features, but it is not the central portal for assigning tenant product licenses to users.

Therefore, when the requirement is simply to assign a license to a user in a Microsoft 365 subscription, Microsoft’s documented answer is the Microsoft 365 admin center .

The correct answer is Microsoft Defender XDR . Microsoft Learn defines Microsoft Defender XDR as a unified pre- and post-breach enterprise defense suite that natively coordinates detection, prevention, investigation, and response across endpoints, identities, email, and applications to provide integrated protection against sophisticated attacks. That wording matches the sentence in the question almost exactly, which makes this the clearly correct choice.

The other options do not fit that definition. Microsoft Entra Conditional Access is Microsoft’s Zero Trust policy engine used to evaluate signals and enforce access policies, not a cross-domain threat detection and response suite. Microsoft Entra ID Protection focuses on detecting and responding to identity risks such as risky sign-ins and risky users. Microsoft Purview is Microsoft’s portfolio for data governance, data security, and compliance. None of those products is described by Microsoft as coordinating detection, prevention, investigation, and response across endpoints, identities, email, and applications in the same integrated XDR manner. Therefore, the only answer that correctly completes the sentence is Microsoft Defender XDR .

The correct answer is D. From the Finance site, configure permissions . Microsoft states that Microsoft 365 Copilot honors existing Microsoft 365 permissions and only grounds responses in content that the signed-in user is already allowed to access. That means if users are getting Finance-site content in Copilot responses, those users likely still have permission to that SharePoint content. The direct fix is to review and correct the site, library, folder, or file permissions on the Finance site so only the intended users retain access.

The other options do not directly solve this requirement. Information Barriers are designed for communication and collaboration segmentation scenarios, not for ordinary site-level oversharing remediation. A Defender data connector is unrelated to SharePoint permission enforcement. Conditional Access controls sign-in and session access conditions, but it does not selectively remove Copilot grounding from one SharePoint site for users who still have site permissions. Because Copilot uses SharePoint and Microsoft Graph permissions as its boundary, the Microsoft-documented corrective action is to fix the Finance site permissions .

In Microsoft 365 Copilot, you should use the Researcher agent to perform multi-step reasoning over unstructured data.

The correct answer is the Researcher agent . Microsoft describes Researcher in Microsoft 365 Copilot as an agent for complex, multi-step research that can reason across information sources and synthesize findings into structured outputs. That aligns with the phrase multi-step reasoning in the question. Microsoft’s guidance also contrasts Researcher with Analyst , which is aimed more at data analysis and spreadsheet-oriented tasks.

The other options are less suitable. Chat is general-purpose and not the specialized tool Microsoft positions for deeper multi-step research workflows. A notebook is used to organize materials and chats, not as the main reasoning engine for this scenario. The Analyst agent is better suited to structured data analysis, trends, and calculations rather than broad reasoning over unstructured data such as documents, notes, and mixed content. Based on Microsoft’s product positioning, the best fit for multi-step reasoning over unstructured information is the Researcher agent .

The correct answers are C and D . Microsoft Learn explains that agents created with Agent Builder in Microsoft 365 Copilot allow you to define specific instructions that extend Microsoft 365 Copilot for a business scenario. Microsoft also documents that you can add knowledge sources such as specific public websites and SharePoint content so the agent can reason over targeted information instead of relying only on the default chat experience. Those two capabilities directly match the needs in options C and D.

Option A is incorrect because grouping chats is a Copilot notebook scenario, not the reason to build an agent. Option B is incorrect in the context of creating an agent in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app . Agent Builder supports declarative agents with instructions, knowledge, and capabilities, but Microsoft Learn describes custom AI model control as part of custom engine agents built with tools such as Copilot Studio, SDKs, or Foundry, not as a standard Agent Builder feature in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. Therefore, when the task is specifically to create an agent in the app, the valid reasons are custom instructions and reasoning over a specific website .

The correct answer is A. the SharePoint admin center . Microsoft documents that the SharePoint admin center includes Data access governance reports and site-level sharing reports that help administrators identify where content is shared externally. Microsoft also documents that every standard Microsoft Teams team is connected to a SharePoint site for file storage and collaboration. Because Teams files and many sharing scenarios for teams are backed by SharePoint sites, the SharePoint admin center is the correct place to investigate which sites are shared externally, including Teams-connected SharePoint sites .

The other options are less suitable for this requirement. The Teams admin center is primarily for Teams policy, user, device, and workload administration, but it is not the main portal Microsoft documents for identifying externally shared site content. The Microsoft 365 admin center focuses on broad tenant administration and usage reporting, and the Microsoft Defender portal is for security investigation rather than SharePoint/Teams sharing governance. For identifying externally shared SharePoint sites and Teams-connected sites, Microsoft’s documented reporting path is the SharePoint admin center .

The correct answer is eDiscovery . In Microsoft Purview, eDiscovery is the solution used to search for content and export copies of that content from Microsoft 365 locations such as SharePoint and OneDrive. Microsoft Learn states that when you export search results from eDiscovery, copies of native Office documents and other documents are exported . That directly matches the requirement to provide HR with a copy of files .

By contrast, Audit is primarily used to investigate user and admin activity records and can export those audit records to CSV , but it does not export the actual files themselves. Audit would help identify that User1 modified files, but the question asks for copies of the recent files modified by User1 , which is an eDiscovery content search and export scenario rather than an activity-log reporting scenario.

So, among the Microsoft Purview solutions shown, the appropriate selection is eDiscovery because it is the Purview tool designed to find and export the actual content items HR wants to receive.

The correct answer is A. Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. The requirement specifically asks for unlicensed users who used Copilot in Microsoft Teams. That points to Copilot Chat usage, not the standard Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed-user report. Microsoft’s usage documentation distinguishes Copilot Chat activity, including Copilot Chat work and web experiences, and lists Microsoft Teams as an entry point where users can access Copilot Chat. Microsoft also states that the Microsoft 365 Copilot usage report’s user-level table is scoped to users who were licensed for Microsoft 365 Copilot, which makes it the wrong report for identifying unlicensed Copilot Chat users. Microsoft 365 Apps and Copilot Search reports do not target this Teams Copilot Chat usage scenario.

The correct answer is adding a public DNS record . Microsoft documents that when you add a custom domain to Microsoft 365, you must first prove ownership of that domain before Microsoft 365 can use it for services such as Exchange Online, SharePoint, and user sign-ins. The standard verification method described by Microsoft is to add a DNS record at your domain registrar or DNS hosting provider. Microsoft commonly uses a TXT record for verification, although in some cases an MX record can also be used depending on the setup flow. This is why “adding a public DNS record” is the right completion for the sentence.

The other choices are not the standard Microsoft 365 domain verification process. Microsoft’s admin guidance does not use confirming your business address , uploading a certificate , or uploading a webpage as the normal method for proving ownership of a domain in Microsoft 365. Domain verification is specifically tied to DNS because DNS is the authoritative public system used to prove control over the domain name.

The correct answer is A. Microsoft Entra ID Protection . Microsoft Learn explains that Microsoft Entra ID Protection detects sign-in risk and user risk and can work with Conditional Access risk policies to automatically respond when suspicious authentication activity is identified. Microsoft documents specifically state that organizations can configure sign-in risk policies and user risk policies to automate responses such as blocking access , requiring multifactor authentication , or forcing password changes when risky activity is detected. Microsoft also notes that some very high-confidence risky sign-ins are automatically blocked by built-in protections.

The other options do not match this function. Microsoft Defender for Office 365 focuses on email, collaboration, and threat protection for tools like Exchange Online and Teams, not sign-in risk blocking. Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) manages privileged role activation and governance, not risky sign-in detection. Microsoft Defender for Identity detects identity-related threats in hybrid identity environments, but the Microsoft feature used to automatically block risky sign-ins is Microsoft Entra ID Protection .

a site member of

The correct answer is a site member of . In the exhibit, the Site members group for Site1 contains Everyone except external users with Edit permissions. Microsoft documents that “Everyone except external users” automatically includes all internal users and excludes external guests . Since User1 is a newly created user in the organization, User1 is an internal user and is therefore included in that built-in principal.

Because that built-in principal is placed in the Site members group, User1 inherits member-level access to the site. User1 is not a site owner, because the Site owners group contains only the Global Administrator entry shown in the exhibit. User1 is also not merely a visitor, because the Site visitors group is listed as None . Finally, User1 is not prevented from accessing the site, because the membership granted through Everyone except external users gives internal users access to the site according to the permissions assigned to that group.

The correct selections are No, No, Yes . Microsoft states that in Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, prompts and responses aren’t used to train the underlying foundation models . Microsoft also documents that Copilot works within the Microsoft 365 service boundary and that data accessed through Microsoft Graph isn’t used to train foundation models . That makes statements 1 and 2 No .

Statement 3 is Yes because Microsoft documents that Microsoft 365 Copilot honors the same data protection, access control, and compliance capabilities that apply across Microsoft 365. Microsoft also states that Copilot only surfaces organizational data that users already have permission to access, including content retrieved through Microsoft Graph in services such as SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, and Teams.

The correct answer is Microsoft 365 Copilot . Microsoft Learn states that Restricted SharePoint Search (RSS) gives organizations time to review and correct permissions on SharePoint sites, and then add only those reviewed sites to an allowed list that Copilot can access . That means RSS is specifically about restricting Copilot’s access to SharePoint content, not blocking administrators, guest users, or Microsoft Purview eDiscovery from those sites.

This distinction is important. Microsoft explains that users can still access SharePoint content based on their normal permissions, while RSS limits what Microsoft 365 Copilot can use as grounding data until site permissions are reviewed and approved. So the feature helps reduce oversharing risk in Copilot without removing a user’s direct ability to find or open content they already have permission to access in SharePoint. In other words, the restriction is placed on Copilot’s searchable grounding scope , not on the user’s own SharePoint permissions. That is why the sentence is correctly completed with Microsoft 365 Copilot .
