Suggested Answer:
Box 1: No -
The MFA policy applies to User1 so he will be prompted to register for MFA. He has 14 days to complete the registration. During this 14-day period, he can bypass registration but at the end of the period he will be required to register before he can complete the sign-in process.
The Conditional Access Policy does not apply to User1 so MFA is not required.

Box 2: No -
User2's MFA status is Enabled which means he has been enrolled in MFA but has not yet completed the registration.
The Conditional Access Policy does not apply to User2 because Group1 is excluded so MFA is not required.

Box 3: Yes -
The Conditional Access Policy does apply to User3 so MFA will be required. He will need to be enrolled for MFA first.

2nd answer should be YES. User2 has MFA enabled in the per-user MFA settings, which means that MFA is enforced for that user - it is not the same as "registered".

Agree, I've tested it - when you enable per-user MFA for user - he cannot bypass registration for 14 days. He has to use MFA nex sign-in. This has a priority over Registration policy

Yes, exclusion takes precedence over inclusion; however, block always wins over grant and there are two policies that User 2 belongs to, the second policy requires MFA. So, if policy 2 didn't exist, user 2 wouldn't require MFA. Since it does, most restrictive policy wins here.

I agree with the answers provided but isn't the MFA registration policy totally irrelevant? They're asking who has to USE mfa on the next signin, not register MFA or be enrolled for MFA. Simply the Conditional Access Policy determines that, whether or not a user is registered or can use MFA. If not that is their problem and will not get access (see the provided explanation for user 3: "needs to be enrolled first")

User 3 is in group 2 and they are set to exclude, so I'm confused on this one. Can anyone give me the reason why?

Correct me if I'm wrong (likely am wrong) Group 1 is no - MFA is disabled Policy applied only requires MFA to be registered. Not required to sign-in. User 2 belongs to both groups. So, yes? - User 2 has MFA enabled, but not enforced. They have been enrolled, but not completed the registration. Policy 1 will require you to register. Policy 2 is requiring MFA. They're a member of both groups. So both group policies apply. User 3 is yes because of policy 2. What am I missing?

I see what's happening here. This was confusing for me to wrap my head around. User1: No True, there is an MFA policy applied to Group1. But User1 will not be REQUIRED to use MFA since the CAP is excluding Group1. User2: No I had to test this in my tenant. Apparently an explict Grant superceeds an explicit Block. So this ends up being the same as User1. Only he's already enabled. User3: Yes User3 is being targeted by the CAP only. So MFA will be required. I agree with the given answer.

why can't 14 days logic applied to user 3 if it can be applied to user 1? I believe answer should be Y Y Y , if we keep 14 days logic out

because group two will not allow access without MFA. unlike the policy on group 1 which is a request for enrollment that can be postponed for 14 days the policy on group two demands you perform a MFA or you receive no access.
