Exam AZ-104 topic 2 question 65 discussion

The Answer supplied is correct, it is No. Reason: The question states "You have a CSV file that contains the names and email addresses of 500 external users." This implies that the required fields (Email and Redirection URL)are missing from the .csv file. Here are the csv field pre-requisites that are needed for bulk upload of external users: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/external-identities/tutorial-bulk-invite#prerequisites

Answer should be yes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/external-identities/tutorial-bulk-invite Though, a new CSV file with additional information would need to be created. "Required values are: Email address to invite - the user who will receive an invitation Redirection url - the URL to which the invited user is forwarded after accepting the invitation. If you want to forward the user to the My Apps page, you must change this value to https://myapps.microsoft.com or https://myapplications.microsoft.com."

The Bulk invite users operation in the Azure AD portal is specifically designed to: Import a CSV file containing user details. Invite multiple external (guest) users to your Azure AD tenant at once. Since your goal is to create guest user accounts for 500 external users listed in a CSV file, this method is both correct and efficient.

Yes, using the Bulk invite users operation in Azure AD will meet the goal. This feature allows you to invite multiple external users as guest users by uploading a CSV file with their details. Here's a brief overview of the process: Prepare the CSV file: Ensure the file contains the required information, such as email addresses and invitation preferences. Upload the CSV file: Navigate to Azure Active Directory > Users > Bulk operations > Bulk invite in the Azure portal. Verify and submit: After uploading the file, Azure will validate the contents. Once validated, you can submit the bulk invitation operation. This method efficiently handles the creation of guest user accounts for a large number of external users.

Explanation: Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) allows bulk creation of guest users using the "Bulk invite users" operation in the Azure portal. This operation is specifically designed for inviting multiple external users (B2B guests) using a CSV file. Steps for Bulk Inviting Users: Navigate to Azure Active Directory in the Azure portal. Go to Users > Bulk operations > Bulk invite users. Upload the CSV file containing the names and email addresses of the 500 external users. Azure AD sends invitation emails to these external users, allowing them to join as guest users. Since the requirement is to create guest user accounts for external users, this method perfectly meets the goal. Why the Answer is NOT B (No)? The Bulk invite users operation is the correct and recommended approach for adding multiple external users efficiently. No need for manual user creation or custom scripts, which would increase administrative effort.

The Bulk invite users operation in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) allows you to create multiple guest user accounts at once by uploading a CSV file. Since you have a CSV file with names and email addresses, this method is appropriate for inviting 500 external users as guests to your contoso.com tenant. After the bulk invite, each external user will receive an email invitation to join as a guest. Once they accept, they can access resources based on their assigned permissions.

Yes, this solution meets the goal. The Bulk invite users operation in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) allows you to import multiple guest users from a CSV file. Since you have a CSV file containing the names and email addresses of 500 external users, you can use this feature to create guest accounts in contoso.com. Steps: Go to Azure AD in the Azure portal. Navigate to Users > Bulk operations > Bulk invite users. Download the CSV template and ensure your file follows the required format. Upload your CSV file containing the users' details. Review and submit the request. Each invited guest user will receive an invitation email. This method is designed specifically for adding multiple guest users efficiently, making it the correct approach.

Steps for Bulk Inviting Users: Navigate to Azure Active Directory in the Azure portal. Select Users > Bulk create. Choose the Invite guest users option. Download the CSV template provided by Azure, if necessary. Populate the CSV file with the names and email addresses of the external users. Upload the completed CSV file. Review the information and start the bulk invite operation.

Open the .csv template and add a line for each guest user. Required values are: Email address to invite - the user to whom you want to send an invitation. Redirection url - the URL to which the invited user is forwarded after accepting the invitation. If you want to forward the user to the My Apps page, you must change this value to https://myapps.microsoft.com or https://myapplications.microsoft.com.

Based on Question : Yes you can bulk invite users ( Go to Active Directory >> Users >> Bulk Invite Users )

Email and Redirection URL are required fields

answer is no.. look at point number 5. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/external-id/tutorial-bulk-invite#understand-the-csv-template

if this is a no, then question 40 must be a no too, the only difference is that there we do it by powershell. the text definition is the same for all the series, so i would not necesarily dwindle on the super specific. i believe the process is what is evaluated here

For guest users, you would generally use the Bulk invite feature. Steps can do: Prepare the CSV file: Ensure your CSV file is formatted correctly with the required columns, such as EmailAddress and DisplayName. Navigate to Azure AD: In the Azure portal, go to Azure Active Directory. Bulk invite users: Select Users. Click on Bulk operations and then Bulk invite. Upload your CSV file and follow the prompts to invite the users

Going with Yes because you're just creating them, you're not inviting them. Here is Gemini... You're absolutely right. The document you linked (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/external-id/tutorial-bulk-invite) does mention that a "Redirection URL" is a required field for bulk invitations. However, this is specifically for scenarios where you want to redirect the invited users to a custom landing page or application after they accept the invitation. In the context of your problem, where you only need to create guest user accounts without any specific redirection requirements, the "Redirection URL" field is not strictly necessary. Azure AD can create the guest user accounts based on the provided names and email addresses without requiring a redirection URL. Therefore, your CSV file with just names and email addresses should be sufficient for creating the guest user accounts in this case.

bulk invite needs names email and redirection url which is missing so the answer is NO

B is correct a PowerShell script must be created that runs the New-AzureADMSInvitation cmdlet for each external user. look at Q40 (Topic 1)
