Question 1 of 352
You have several Conditional Access policies that block noncompliant devices from connecting to services.
You need to identify which devices are blocked by which policies.
What should you use?
    Correct Answer: B

    To identify which devices are blocked by Conditional Access policies, you should use Sign-ins in the Azure Active Directory admin center. The sign-in logs provide detailed information about sign-in attempts, including which Conditional Access policies were applied and whether access was granted or denied. This allows you to see which devices and sign-ins were blocked by specific Conditional Access policies.

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that is associated to a Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named contoso.com.
You use Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) to federate on-premises Active Directory and the tenant. Azure AD Connect has the following settings:
✑ Source Anchor: objectGUID
✑ Password Hash Synchronization: Disabled
✑ Password writeback: Disabled
✑ Directory extension attribute sync: Disabled

Exam MS-500: Question 2 - Image 1
You need to ensure that you can use leaked credentials detection in Azure AD Identity Protection.
Solution: You modify the Azure AD app and attribute filtering settings.
Does that meet the goal?
    Correct Answer: B

    To use leaked credentials detection in Azure AD Identity Protection, you need password hash synchronization enabled. This is because the detection mechanism relies on comparing known exposed credentials with the password hashes stored in Azure AD. Modifying the Azure AD app and attribute filtering settings does not facilitate this detection process. Therefore, the suggested solution does not meet the goal.

✑ User writeback: Disabled
You need to ensure that you can use leaked credentials detection in Azure AD Identity Protection.
Solution: You modify the Password Hash Synchronization settings.
Does that meet the goal?
    Correct Answer: A

    Enabling Password Hash Synchronization (PHS) is necessary to use leaked credentials detection in Azure AD Identity Protection. This feature requires password hashes to be synced with Azure AD so that it can validate those credentials against leaked databases. Modifying the Password Hash Synchronization settings to enable it would meet the goal of utilizing leaked credentials detection.

✑ User writeback: Disabled
You need to ensure that you can use leaked credentials detection in Azure AD Identity Protection.
Solution: You modify the Source Anchor settings.
Does that meet the goal?
    Correct Answer: B

    To use leaked credentials detection in Azure AD Identity Protection, you need to enable Password Hash Synchronization (PHS) in Azure AD Connect. The current settings show that Password Hash Synchronization is disabled, and modifying the Source Anchor does not address this requirement. Therefore, changing the Source Anchor settings will not help achieve the goal of utilizing leaked credentials detection.
