1st box answer is definitely C 2nd box is theoretically A, but should be C. Service issues can mean other dns issues that don't relate to mail, or MX records that are used with 3rd party spam filters.

So I tested and it should be C and A You can add a subdomain to the .onmicrosoft.com domain and even with the status being "possible service issues" I was still able to create a user with that domain On the other hand, it won't be possible to add any services to this subdomain as you don't have the ability to add DNS records to the .onmicrosoft.com domain, and thereby any subdomain you try and create will give you DNS records (MX, TXT, CNAME) that you have no way of adding.

Tested C&A

1st C 2nd C - I have an example in the real world. MX records direct to a third-party antispam vendor. Users still using this domain to send and receive mail

Valid Question (30th july 2022)

answer I agree is C and A

After checking this on my tenant I believe the answers are C and A. This is because you can add subdomain.%COMPANY%.onmicrosoft.com and it will be verified however you cannot add records for anything to be routed for it. Because it is verified it means you can add it to users as their user name It is A for part two as contoso.com is not setup so you can't yet receive mail from it and the subdomain has no routing to the tenant despite being verified

I am pretty certain that the reason the sub domain is having issues is because the parent domain is not fully setup? So therefore the answers would be correct!

I tested, its possible to add a sufix to your default tenant domain Example examtopics.onmicrosoft.com (default) If you try to add ms100.examtopics.onmicrosoft.com the domain are vaild and stay verifed automaticaly

Still valid, April 2022 - variation on it though.

Can anyone confirm 100 % in the exam that the answer given would be correct> what is Microsofts view?

It's C and A, you can create users using domain which have status "possible service issues" but not with "Setup in progress"

In exam today

Is not possible to add onmicrosft.com subdomain. "Refresh the page or try again later Failed to get the options for managing DNS records for domain sub.xxxxxxxxx.onmicrosoft.com. The domain was removed from your account. Close the wizard, refresh your browser and try again."

I love reading these comment, but hate it when it seems like a fight with no clue about the correct answer :(

Has anyone taken the exam passed and answered this so we know what is most likely the correct answers??

i'd say A and A - similar to the answers given. All explanations here are correct, but considering Microsoft is weird as ......, it is best to assume those 'possible issues' cause issues in creating users.
