You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains a Microsoft SharePoint Online site named Site1.
You need to implement Microsoft Purview data lifecycle management.
What should you create first?
- A . a sensitivity label policy
- B . a data loss prevention (DLP) policy
- C . an auto-labeling policy
- D . a retention label
D
Explanation:
To implement Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management for SharePoint Online (Site1), you need to create a retention label first. Retention labels define how long content should be retained or deleted based on compliance requirements. Once a retention label is created, it can be manually or automatically applied to content in SharePoint Online, Exchange, OneDrive, and Teams. After creating a retention label, you can configure label policies to apply them to Site1 and other locations.

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You recently discovered that the developers at your company emailed Azure Storage Account keys in plain text to third parties.
You need to ensure that when Azure Storage Account keys are emailed, the emails are encrypted.
Solution: You configure a mail flow rule that matches the text patterns.
Does this meet the goal?
- A . Yes
- B . No
B
Explanation:
To ensure Azure Storage Account keys are encrypted when sent via email, you need a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy that detects Azure Storage Account keys using a sensitive information type and automatically encrypts emails containing these keys.
Text patterns in mail flow rules are not as reliable as sensitive information types in DLP.
Mail flow rules lack advanced content detection and machine learning-based classification, making them less effective than DLP.

You need to create a trainable classifier that can be used as a condition in an auto-apply retention label policy.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Explanation:
To create a trainable classifier that can be used in an auto-apply retention label policy, you need to follow these key steps:
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains a trainable classifier named Trainable1.
You plan to create the items shown in the following table.
Which items can use Trainable 1?
- A . Label2 only
- B . Label1 and Label2 only
- C . Label1 and Policy1 only
- D . Label2, Policy1, and DLP1 only
- E . Label1, Label2, Policy1, and DLP1
D
Explanation:
A trainable classifier in Microsoft Purview is used to automatically identify and classify unstructured data based on content patterns.
The classifier can be used in:
You have a data loss prevention (DLP) policy configured for endpoints as shown in the following exhibit.
From a computer named Computer1, a user can sometimes upload files to cloud services and sometimes cannot. Other users experience the same issue.
What are two possible causes of the issue? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A . The unallowed browsers in the Microsoft 365 Endpoint data loss prevention (Endpoint DLP) settings are NOT configured.
- B . There are file path exclusions in the Microsoft 365 Endpoint data loss prevention (Endpoint DLP) settings.
- C . The Access by restricted apps action is set to Audit only.
- D . The Copy to clipboard action is set to Audit only.
- E . The computers are NOT onboarded to Microsoft Purview.
A, B
Explanation:
The issue where users sometimes can upload files to cloud services and sometimes cannot suggests inconsistent enforcement of Endpoint DLP policies. This can be caused by the unallowed browsers in the Microsoft 365 Endpoint DLP settings are NOT configured. Also, there are file path exclusions in the Microsoft 365 Endpoint DLP settings.
Endpoint DLP can block uploads only when using unallowed browsers. If unallowed browsers are not configured, users might be able to bypass restrictions by switching to a different browser. This could explain why uploads sometimes work and sometimes don’t, depending on which browser is used.
File path exclusions allow certain files or folders to be exempt from DLP restrictions. If a specific file location is excluded, files stored there won’t trigger DLP policies, leading to inconsistent behavior. This could result in some uploads being blocked while others are allowed.

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription.
You have a user named User1. Several users have full access to the mailbox of User1.
Some email messages sent to User1 appear to have been read and deleted before the user viewed them.
When you search the audit log in the Microsoft Purview portal to identify who signed in to the mailbox of User1, the results are blank.
You need to ensure that you can view future sign-ins to the mailbox of User1.
Solution: You run the Set-Mailbox -Identity "User1" -AuditEnabled $true command.
Does that meet the goal?
- A . Yes
- B . No
A
Explanation:
To track who accesses User1’s mailbox, you need to enable mailbox auditing for User1. By default, Exchange mailbox auditing is not enabled per mailbox (even though it is enabled tenant-wide).
The Set-Mailbox -Identity "User1" -AuditEnabled $true command enables audit logging for mailbox actions like:
● Read emails
● Delete emails
● Send emails as User1
● Access by delegated users
Once enabled, you can search for future sign-ins and actions in the Microsoft Purview audit logs.
