Answers are correct: 1) MFA is enabled and whenever on next log-in he will have to sign up anyway, regardless of the policy, therefore prompted. 2) Blocked - "Users must register for Azure AD MFA and SSPR before they face a situation requiring remediation. Users not registered are blocked and require administrator intervention." 3) Blocked - See text in 2) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/identity-protection/howto-identity-protection-configure-risk-policies

When Azure AD Identity Protection requires MFA for a sign-in and the user has MFA disabled, the behavior depends on the specific policy configuration. If the policy is set to "allow access, request MFA," Identity Protection will prompt the user to register for MFA during the sign-in process. This means that even if MFA is disabled for the user, they will be required to complete the MFA registration and verification to gain access.

MFA is "enabled" which means that it is NOT enforced and he will NOT "have to sign up anyway". "Enabling MFA for a user means that the user has the option to set up MFA, but it is not required. Enforcing MFA means that the user is required to set up MFA and cannot access their account until they have completed the MFA setup process. "

According to the official Skillpipe book, "sign-ins from infected devices" are considered as "low".

User3 will be blocked: Reason- sign-ins from infected devices is considered as "Medium" so policy will be applied. Since user3 is MFA enabled it will be blocked.

1- Prompt for MFA -> User is excluded, but MFA is Enabled, user is always prompted for MFA. 2.- Prompt for MFA -> Risk is medium and policy applies 3.- Single Authentication -> Policy doesn't apply, risk low

That would correct for Conditional Access but question is about Identity Protection. According to Microsoft: "Users must register for Azure AD MFA and SSPR before they face a situation requiring remediation. Users not registered are BLOCKED and require administrator intervention."

I respectfully disagree with number 2, although I stand to be corrected. 2.- Be blocked --> Risk is medium and policy applies, HOWEVER MFA is disabled for User 2 and this he/she is blocked.

Even if MFA is disabled, since conditional access policy applied, user will be prompted for MFA enrollment, and to login using MFA. And by the way, even after the user activates MFA, status will remain disabled for that user, because it will be only used when a conditional access policy is met.

This is not Conditional Access. It is Identity Protection, and as stated by docs if the user isn't enrolled in MFA, it will be blocked.

Not true, this is the legacy method of assigning mfa to users. Security baselines means that all tenants have mfa enforced by default anyways. It should be managed via CA and being disabled here means nothing. I think this question is ancient, but I still wanted to add this.

Yes MFA is disabled for User 2 on his account, BUT since he matches the policy he will need to use MFA to log in now as the policy supercedes his AAD settings. Therefore User 2 will be Prompted for MFA

USER 1 WILL ALWAYS BE PROMPTED REGARDLESS OF POLICY ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE MFA IS ENFORCED AGAINST THEIR ACCT. USER 2 WILL BE BLOCKED BECAUSE THEY ARE SOLELY IN GROUP 1 AND THE MEET THE CONDITIONS OF THE POLICY ASSIGNED WITH MFA DISABLED WHICH GOES AGAINST THE POLICY REQUIREMENTS. USER 3 WILL BE ALLOWED TO LOGIN WITH USERNAME AND PASSWORD ONLY BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE IN GROUP 1 THEY DO NOT MEET THE CONDITIONS AND DO NOT HAVE MFA ENFORCED DIRECTLY AGAINST THEIR ACCT. SIGNING IN FROM AN INFECTED DEVICE IS CONSIDERED LOW RISK..

Latest update: Microsoft doesn't provide specific details about how risk is calculated. Each level of risk brings higher confidence that the user or sign-in is compromised. So this question is obsolete

All "Sign in from unfamiliar location", "Sign in from infected device" and "Sign in from anonymous IP address" are medium risk thus all satisfy the condition to require MFA. User1 will be prompted from MFA regardless. So all three sign ins require MFA.

All 3 should be prompted for MFA. Because all of them are in Group1 and the Access level is set to Allow access Require MFA. For 2 and 3 the user should still be prompted for MFA but since they have MFA disabled so they will not be able to proceed with MFA.

Answers are correct. The key here is that user MUST complete MFA registration for the identity protection sign-in risk policy to take effect. Since USER1 is the only one that is MFA enabled (registered), he is the only one that will be forced to use MFA to sign in. The other two will be blocked. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/identity-protection/concept-identity-protection-policies

1.) Username and Password only. User is a part of Group 2. Exclusion takes precedence. 2.) Blocked. User MUST sign up for MFA beforehand or they will be blocked. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/identity-protection/howto-identity-protection-configure-risk-policies) 3.) Blocked. Same reasoning as above.

my answers based on that: user1 will ask MFA for being a medium threat. user2 will ask for MFA for being a medium type threat (unfamiliar location.) User 3 does not apply the policy since the risk, according to Microsoft, is low. in no case user 1 and 2 are blocked.

As gigiscual said: Users must register for Azure AD MFA and SSPR BEFORE they face a situation requiring remediation. Users not registered are blocked and require administrator intervention. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/identity-protection/howto-identity-protection-configure-risk-policies So, User2 will be blocked. But I do not agree with answer three because Microsoft classify sign-ins from infected devices with low risk.
