Please wait while the virtual machine loads. Once loaded, you may proceed to the lab section. This may take a few minutes, and the wait time will not be deducted from your overall test time.
When the Next button is available, click it to access the lab section. In this section, you will perform a set of tasks in a live environment. While most functionality will be available to you as it would be in a live environment, some functionality (e.g., copy and paste, ability to navigate to external websites) will not be possible by design.
Scoring is based on the outcome of performing the tasks stated in the lab. In other words, it doesn't matter how you accomplish the task, if you successfully perform it, you will earn credit for that task.
Labs are not timed separately, and this exam may more than one lab that you must complete. You can use as much time as you would like to complete each lab.
But, you should manage your time appropriately to ensure that you are able to complete the lab(s) and all other sections of the exam in the time provided.
Please note that once you submit your work by clicking the Next button within a lab, you will NOT be able to return to the lab.

Pretty sure there's just multiple ways to do it now. I just go to AAD > Users > Per-user MFA (this is under the assumption that MFA is already enabled for the organization, since the question only asked to enable 1 user).

Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center at https://admin.microsoft.com. Go to users and locate the account. Click on accounts and scroll down to multifactor authentication. Click on manage multifactor authentication. This takes you to this page: https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/UserManagement/MultifactorVerification.aspx?BrandContextID=O365 Here you can enable MFA for the individual user

The linked page now says: Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center at https://admin.microsoft.com. Select Show All, then choose the Azure Active Directory Admin Center. Select Azure Active Directory, Properties, Manage Security defaults. Under Enable Security defaults, select Yes and then Save. So I'd be doing that now

By enabling Security Defaults you will enable MFA for all users and that's not the scope of this question.

Location for solution should be: - Admin Portal > Settings: Org Settings > Services tab > Multi-Factor Authentication > Configure Multi-Factor Authentication which will take you here: https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/UserManagement/MultifactorVerification.aspx?culture=en-US&BrandContextID=O365 The question and/or answer is a little dated. - Modern Authentication used to not be enabled by default, and had to be enabled first before one could implement MFA in O365. - Modern Auth is now enabled by default via the Security Defaults. If you click on Modern Authentication, you will get this message: "Modern authentication‎ in ‎Exchange Online‎ provides you a variety of ways to increase security in your organization with features like conditional access and multi-factor authentication (MFA)."

I'm still not convinced if the Modern Authentication step is required. What is the Security Defaults is turned OFF? Modern Auth won't prompt for MFA then. The part 2 of the answer is what will force user to register for MFA.

I'm not sure where all this modern auth stuff is coming from. The question is requiring to enable registration of MFA for one user. Just do the second part of the answer and it meets the requirements.

Second part technically isn't wrong. Multifactor authentication in this section will prompt the user to set up MFA. The first part is literally enabling Modern Auth for Exchange but not necessarily required as the steps only ask to allow the user to register for MFA. MFA registration can also be prompted from here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/identity-protection/howto-identity-protection-configure-mfa-policy#policy-configuration You can enforce registration for MFA through the policy. They can bypass it for up to 14 days then they will need to register for MFA.
