Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator ExpertDeploy and manage a Microsoft 365 tenantMedium

A Microsoft 365 administrator is planning to implement a new policy for Microsoft 365 Groups. The policy requires that all new groups created must have a specific prefix ('PROJ-') and suffix ('-GR') to ensure consistency and easy identification. Additionally, a list of specific words (e.g., 'Confidential', 'HR') must be blocked from being used in group names. Which feature should the administrator configure?

  2. BMicrosoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
  3. CAzure AD Naming Convention for Microsoft 365 Groups
  4. DMicrosoft 365 sensitivity labels
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Azure AD Naming Convention for Microsoft 365 Groups

Azure AD Naming Convention for Microsoft 365 Groups allows administrators to enforce a consistent naming policy for new groups, including specifying a prefix, suffix, and a list of blocked words. This directly matches all the requirements.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Conditional Access policies control access to resources based on conditions, not group naming.
  • B. DLP policies prevent sensitive data from being shared, not control group naming conventions.
  • D. Sensitivity labels classify and protect content within groups, but do not enforce naming conventions for the groups themselves.

Azure AD Naming Convention for Microsoft 365 Groups

A feature in Azure AD that enforces a naming policy for Microsoft 365 Groups, allowing administrators to define prefixes, suffixes, and a list of blocked words for group names.

  • Ensures consistent naming for easier identification and management.
  • Prevents inappropriate or sensitive words in group names.
  • Applies to groups created in various Microsoft 365 applications.

Memory trick: Think of the Naming Convention as the 'name tag' police for your Microsoft 365 Groups.
