Microsoft 365 Certified: Teams Administrator Associate Advanced Practice Exam: Hard Questions 2025

Your organization has a single Microsoft 365 tenant with two business units: BU1 (highly regulated) and BU2 (standard). BU1 requires that only a small set of vetted third-party apps can be installed, while BU2 can install any Teams app except those that allow data export to external services. You must enforce the requirements with the least operational overhead and ensure BU1 and BU2 policies cannot be bypassed by users switching clients (desktop/web/mobile). What should you implement?

You are designing Teams governance for a multinational company. Users frequently create teams for short-lived projects, leading to sprawl and inconsistent naming. Requirements: enforce a naming convention with prefixes based on department, require justification when creating Microsoft 365 groups, and automatically expire inactive groups after 180 days but allow some executive teams to be exempt. Which approach best meets the requirements?

Your tenant uses Direct Routing with multiple Session Border Controllers (SBCs). After enabling Location-Based Routing (LBR), users in a restricted country can still dial international PSTN numbers when connected over VPN to the corporate network. The PSTN usage policies appear correct. You need to ensure LBR restrictions apply regardless of VPN and that calls are blocked when users are physically in the restricted country. What is the most effective solution?

You need to onboard 12,000 frontline workers to Teams. Devices are shared and are frequently wiped. Requirements: users must not see other workers’ chats or files on the device, sign-in must be quick, and the device must not store persistent data. You also need to minimize the risk of users accidentally sending messages to external users. What should you configure?

Your organization uses Teams with sensitivity labels. A confidential project team must allow external guests, but only from two partner domains. Additionally, users must be prevented from sharing files from the team’s SharePoint site with anyone outside those partner domains. Which configuration best satisfies the requirement with least privilege?

A Teams team has a private channel used for sensitive HR discussions. Users report that the private channel does not appear in eDiscovery searches using standard Microsoft Purview content search scoped to the team. Compliance requires capturing messages and files for litigation hold. What is the correct way to ensure discoverability of private channel content?

Your organization deploys a custom line-of-business (LOB) Teams app. After publishing to the organization app catalog, some users can install it while others cannot. All users are in the same tenant and have the same license. You need to determine the most likely cause and fix with minimal impact. What should you check first?

Your tenant uses Direct Routing and has strict compliance: calls to emergency services must transmit accurate location information and must not allow users to override emergency address. Remote users connect from many sites and from home. You configured network topology with subnets for corporate sites, but emergency calls from home show the company headquarters address. What should you do to improve accuracy for remote workers while maintaining compliance?

Users report that outbound PSTN calls intermittently fail with a SIP 503 response. Failures occur only for users homed in a specific Teams voice routing policy. In Call Analytics, affected calls show they are routed to a particular SBC FQDN. Other SBCs are healthy. You need to reduce impact immediately while maintaining redundancy. What is the best action?

After implementing new Teams meeting policies, executives report they can no longer create meetings with anonymous join enabled, but they must still allow anonymous participants for specific large external briefings. However, the organization requires anonymous join to remain disabled for all other users and most meetings. You need a solution that minimizes risk and does not require changing the global policy. What should you do?
