Preface
Microsoft 365 is the premier collaboration and business productivity platform on the market today. It is made of up dozens of integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications and services, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Microsoft Teams. Microsoft also offers a full range of cloud data center and development products, all built on the Azure platform.
Together, the Microsoft 365 and Azure platforms are used by millions of users and businesses every day to enhance communications, build relationships, connect communities, and create new products.
This book is designed to help you understand key Microsoft 365 concepts and how those concepts are represented in the MS-100 exam.
This book will focus on the following key areas:
- Microsoft 365 tenant architecture and design
- Identity and access management
- Microsoft 365 apps
- Identity synchronization technologies
- Deploying core services such as Exchange Online and Microsoft Teams
The MS-100 exam focuses on the basic concepts and interdependencies between these services. This book will help you understand the basics of identity and authentication in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), as well as ways to secure the identity platform using tools such as multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access.
By the end of this book, you’ll not only be equipped to pass the MS-100 exam but also to confidently articulate the features and capabilities of the Microsoft 365 platform.
