AZ-104 Question 12
Single answerYou are an Azure Administrator for Contoso. Your organization uses Microsoft Entra ID to manage Microsoft 365 E3 licenses through a security group. However, some users in this group are not receiving a license. On closer inspection, you discover that these user accounts do not have a usage location set in Microsoft Entra ID. Which action should you take to ensure all group members automatically receive the assigned license?
- A
Recreate the group as a mail-enabled security group to refresh licensing assignments
- B
Configure a usage location for each affected user in Microsoft Entra ID
- C
Assign licenses individually to each user from the Azure portal
- D
Switch the security group to a Microsoft 365 group to enable automatic location detection
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Group-based licensing in Microsoft Entra ID requires that each user has a defined usage location. Setting valid usage locations ensures license assignments can be applied successfully to all members of the group.
- A. Incorrect.
Recreating the group as mail-enabled does not resolve location issues, it's unrelated to whether users can receive licenses.
- B. Correct.
Each user must have a valid usage location for Microsoft 365 license assignment. When the usage location is missing, licensing assignments fail.
- C. Incorrect.
Assigning licenses individually could work but defeats the purpose of group-based licensing and is not recommended for large-scale management.
- D. Incorrect.
Microsoft 365 groups are typically used for collaboration. Converting a security group to a Microsoft 365 group does not address the missing location setting.
