Practice question 182 of 498 · medium

A tenant’s normal administrators are federated. What best preserves emergency access during federation failure?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.A new mailbox retention policy
  2. B.Cloud-only emergency accounts with independent strong authentication
  3. C.A single PTA agent used as the only recovery dependency
  4. D.An emergency account synchronized through the same federation path
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Cloud-only emergency accounts with independent strong authentication

Cloud-only accounts avoid the failed federation dependency. Synchronized/federated recovery repeats it, relying solely on one live agent adds fragility, and retention does not restore authentication.
