MS-900 Question #13: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You are the Microsoft 365 administrator for a company. Users in the IT department must receive new Office 365 preview features before the features are deployed to other users in the company. You need to ensure only the users in the IT department receive preview features. Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer represents part of the solution. (Choose two.) NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Options

• BInstruct users to update Office ProPlus.
• CIn the organizational profile, set the update preference to Targeted release for selected users
• DInstruct users to unistall Office ProPlus and then reinstall the software.
• EIn the organizational profile, set the update preference to Standard release.

Explanation

To deliver Office 365 preview features only to IT department users, you must configure Targeted release for selected users in the org profile and then add those specific users to the Targeted release group.

Common mistakes.

• B. Manually instructing users to update Office ProPlus does not control which release channel or preview features they receive, as the release track is governed by the admin center settings, not manual updates.
• D. Uninstalling and reinstalling Office ProPlus does not change the release channel assigned to those users; the release track is determined by the Microsoft 365 admin center organizational profile settings, not the local installation state.
• E. Setting the update preference to Standard release would keep users on the general availability track, meaning they would not receive preview features early - this is the opposite of the desired outcome.
