MS-700 Question #44: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You have a Microsoft 365 tenant that uses Microsoft Skype for Business on-premises. You plan to upgrade to Microsoft Teams in stages based on groups. The features required by each group are shown in the following table. Group name | Feature ---|--- Sales | Calling, channels, group chat, and meetings in Microsoft Teams Human Resources | Chat and calling in Skype for Business Research | Meetings, channels, and groups in Microsoft Teams | Chat and meetings in Skype for Business | Channels and groups in Microsoft Teams How should you configure the upgrade policy for the groups? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of Microsoft Teams upgrade coexistence modes, which control which platform (Teams, Skype for Business, or both) handles each communication workload during a phased migration. Each group's required feature set maps to a specific coexistence policy.

Approach. Microsoft provides five coexistence/upgrade modes assignable per user or group via Teams Admin Center upgrade policies: (1) Teams Only - all workloads (chat, calling, meetings, channels) in Teams; maps to Sales. (2) Skype for Business Only - all workloads remain in SfB; maps to Human Resources. (3) Skype for Business with Teams Collaboration - SfB handles chat/calling/meetings, Teams handles only channels and groups (no Teams meetings); maps to a group needing SfB chat+meetings with Teams channels. (4) Skype for Business with Teams Collaboration and Meetings - SfB handles chat/calling, Teams handles meetings, channels, and groups; maps to Research if they need Teams meetings but SfB chat. (5) Islands - both platforms run simultaneously and users can use either for any workload; applies when a group needs full parity on both platforms simultaneously. The key differentiator is whether meetings stay in SfB or move to Teams, and whether calling/chat remain in SfB.

Concept tested. Microsoft Teams upgrade coexistence modes (TeamsOnly, SfBOnly, SfBWithTeamsCollab, SfBWithTeamsCollabAndMeetings, Islands) and which policy to assign based on per-group workload requirements during a staged Skype for Business to Teams migration.
