Exam MS-700 topic 2 question 25 discussion

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/grant-csteamsupgradepolicy?view=skype-ps

Answer is correct SfBWithTeamsCollab - "Only Collaboration in Teams" rest features are in SfB SfBWithTeamsCollabAndMeetings - "Only Collb & Meetng in Teams" rest features are in SfB

Answer is correct. The focus is on User1 because the tenant is already in Teams Only mode, which is important here and why you target User1.

Just a bit to add to everyone's point about SfB modes: User's effective mode Experience in Teams client Any Skype for Business mode Calling, Chat, and self-presence are disabled. SfBWithTeamsCollabAndMeetings Meeting scheduling is available SfBWithTeamsCollab or SfBOnly* Meeting scheduling is not available Note: *At this time, SfBwithTeamsCollab and SfBOnly behave the same, but the intent is for SfBOnly mode to also disable Channels and Files functionality in Teams. In the interim, Channels can be hidden using the App Permissions policy.

The answer is correct, the collaboration mode with Teams allows user 1 to use channels in Teams, and disables meetings: Microsoft clearly states: Skype for Business with Teams collaboration: use this setting if you want the user to use Skype for Business in addition to using Teams for group collaboration (channels). Skype for Business with Teams collaboration and meetings - Use this setting if you want the user to use Skype for Business in addition to using Teams for group collaboration

The answer is correct. The Org-wide policy is TeamsOnly, thus User2 is sorted by default. User1 should be assigned a personal policy that will override the existing Org-wide policy. The cmdlet in the answer does it. Great elaboration on related features and M365 logic behind I found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eQ6s547fF0

What about user2?

no issue with this answer...

What is the full answer to this question?

I am leaning towards the Islands setting for User 1. The coexistence setting is currently set to "Teams only" for everyone. If you examine the chart in the following link, that would make all Chat/calling/meetings/collaboration in Teams only. User 1 must be able to have chat/meetings by using Skype for business only. However, it also suggests that User 1 must be able to read and post messages (chat) in Teams channels. User 2 must use Teams only (current setting for everyone) Therefore, we only need to configure for User 1. I think Islands is the option needed. Islands mode will allow User 1 to use chat/calling/meetings in Skype, and STILL be able to read and post to Teams chats. If we select SfB with Teams, User 1 would only be able to use collaboration features in Teams, which would result in that user NOT being able to read/post to Teams chats. https://blogs.perficient.com/2019/09/05/managing-coexistence-and-interoperability-in-microsoft-teams/

Org Wide is already set to Teams so we don't need to do anything for user 2

If you look at the Teams Upgrade settings in Org-Wide , Coexistence Mode - You can get an understanding of why the PowerShell command is written this way and it makes more sense. As opposed to memorising the answer :)

it doesnt metion

not sure if in real exam there would be an option for User2 settings, but if it is, for User2 it would be UpgradeToTeams

I think this is the key wording 'User1 must be able to chat and create meetings by using Skype for Business only.' Therefore I would go with 'SfBWithTeamsCollab' Calling, chat functionality and meeting scheduling in the Teams app are disabled.
