MS-102 Course: Microsoft 365 Administrator
This course covers the following key elements of Microsoft 365 administration :
- tenant management
- identity synchronization
- security and compliance
In Microsoft 365 tenant administration, you'll learn how to configure your Microsoft 365 tenant , including your organizational profile, tenant subscription options, component services, user accounts and licenses, security groups, and administrative roles. You'll then transition to Microsoft 365 configuration, with a primary focus on configuring Office client connectivity. Finally, you'll see how to manage user-controlled client installations of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise deployments.
Next, we move on to a detailed examination of Microsoft 365 identity synchronization, focusing on Azure Active Directory Connect and Connect Cloud Sync . You'll learn how to plan and implement each of these directory synchronization options, how to manage synchronized identities, and how to implement password management in Microsoft 365 using multi-factor authentication and self-service password management.
In the Microsoft 365 security administration section, we begin by examining the common types of threat vectors and data breaches that organizations face today. Next, you'll see how Microsoft 365 security solutions address each of these threats. You'll be introduced to Microsoft Secure Score and Azure Active Directory Identity Protection . You'll then learn how to manage Microsoft 365 security services, including Exchange Online Protection, Safe Attachments, and Safe Links. Finally, you'll be introduced to the various reports that monitor an organization's security posture. You'll then move from security services to threat intelligence—specifically, using Microsoft 365 Defender, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
Having reviewed the Microsoft 365 security suite, we'll examine the key components of Microsoft 365 compliance management. It begins with an introduction to all the key aspects of data governance, including data archiving and retention, Microsoft Purview message encryption, and data loss prevention (DLP). It then delves deeper into archiving and retention, paying particular attention to Microsoft Purview insider risk management, information barriers, and DLP policies. It will then examine how to implement these compliance features by using sensitivity labels and data classification.
