This course covers three central elements of Microsoft 365
enterprise administration – Microsoft 365 tenant and service management, Office
365 management, and Microsoft 365 identity management. In Microsoft 365 tenant
and service management, you will examine all the key components that must be
planned for when designing your Microsoft 365 tenant. Once this planning phase is
complete, you will learn how to configure your Microsoft 365 tenant, including
your organizational profile, tenant subscription options, component services,
user accounts and licenses, and security groups. Finally, you will learn how to
manage your tenant, which includes the configuration of tenant roles and
managing your tenant health and services.
With your Microsoft 365 tenant now firmly in place, you will
examine the key components of Office 365 management. This begins with an
overview of Office 365 product functionality, including Exchange Online,
SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Power Platform, additional
product resources, and device management. You will then transition to
configuring Office 365, with a primary focus on configuring Office client
connectivity. Finally, you will examine how to manage Microsoft 365 Apps for
enterprise (formerly Office 365 ProPlus) deployments, from user-driven client
installations to centralized deployments. You will wrap up this section by
learning how to configure Office Telemetry and Microsoft Analytics.
The course concludes with an in-depth examination of Microsoft 365
identity synchronization, with a focus on Azure Active Directory Connect. You
will learn how to plan for and implement Azure AD Connect, how to manage
synchronized identities, and how to implement password management in Microsoft
365 using multi-factor authentication and self-service password management.
This section wraps up with a comprehensive look at implementing application and
external access. You will learn how to add and manage applications in Azure
Active Directory, including how to configure multi-tenant applications. You
will then examine how to configure Azure AD Application Proxy, including how to
install and register a connector and how to publish an on-premises app for
remote access. Finally, you will examine how to design and manage solutions for
external access. This includes licensing guidance for Azure AD B2B
collaboration, creating a collaborative user, and troubleshooting a B2B
collaboration.
