SC-300 Certification Practice Question #76

Question

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains two groups named Group1 and Group2 and the users shown in the following table.

Group2 is a member of Group1.

You configure cross-tenant synchronization with a partner organization named fabrikam.com by using the following configurations:

•	Provisioning status: On
•	Users and groups: Group1
•	Prevent accidental deletion: 500
•	Scope: Sync only assigned users and groups
•	Scoping filter: Department EQUALS Marketing

From the Cross-tenant synchronization settings, you set Provisioning Mode to Automatic.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Accepted Answer

The configuration assigns only Group1 with scope "Sync only assigned users and groups" and a scoping filter Department EQUALS Marketing. Per MS Learn, assigning a group puts only its direct members in scope and the assignment does not cascade to nested groups. User1 is a direct member of Group1 and is in the Marketing department, so it satisfies both the assignment and the filter → Yes. User2 sits inside Group2 (a nested member of Group1) and is not a direct member of Group1, so it is out of scope regardless of department → No (its department "marketing" in lowercase would also fail the case-sensitive EQUALS match). User3 is a direct member of Group1 but is in HR, failing the Marketing filter → No. This matches the Highly Voted (8 👍) community answer.
