Question 3 exhibit

You need to create a base SD WAN configuration that includes SD WAN rules and Performance SLAs for spoke sites with various connectivity types It needs to be done in a way that can be easily applied to new sites with a minimum amount of change

How should you create the SD-WAN zones?

Correct Answer A
Explanation

To create a base SD-WAN configuration that can be easily applied to new sites with minimum changes, you should create SD-WAN zones with templates for each connectivity type. This template-based approach allows you to define standard SD-WAN rules and Performance SLAs for different connectivity scenarios (broadband, MPLS, LTE, etc.), which can then be rapidly deployed to new spoke sites by simply applying the appropriate template rather than manually configuring each site.

Question 4 Domain 4 Configure and manage Teams meetings, webinars, and town halls

You have a Teams Phone deployment that has users in Canada and the United States.

You have a Session Border Controller (SBQ in Calgary and an SBC In New York City. Both SBCs are connected to Direct Routing. You plan to implement toll bypass for the users in Canada. The solution must meet the following requirements:

* Prioritize the New York City SBC for calls to numbers in the United States.

* Leverage the Calgary SBC for resiliency if the New York City SBC is unavailable.

You create a PSTN usage named Canada and associate this policy to a voice routing policy.

Which two voice routes should you create with the Canada PSTN usage? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer B, D
Explanation

To implement toll bypass for Canada users while prioritizing the New York City SBC for US calls and using Calgary SBC for resiliency, you should create two voice routes with the Canada PSTN usage: First, create a voice route for +1 (United States and Canada numbers) with the New York City SBC configured as the primary route (priority 1) and the Calgary SBC as the secondary/backup route (priority 2). This ensures that calls to US numbers primarily use the New York City SBC for optimal routing. Second, create a voice route for Canadian toll-free or other specific number patterns with the Calgary SBC as priority 1, ensuring Canadian toll calls bypass international routing by using the local Calgary SBC. This two-route approach achieves both the prioritization requirement for US calls and the resiliency requirement using the appropriate regional SBCs.

Question 7 Domain 2 Configure and manage Teams Phone

You have a Microsoft Teams Phone deployment.

You plan to deploy 25 shared Android devices as phones for a front desk.

You need to ensure that when a phone handset is picked up. the phone autodials to a centralized reception. The solution must minimize administrative effort.

What should you do?

Correct Answer B
Explanation

To ensure 25 shared Android devices autodial to a centralized reception when a handset is picked up while minimizing administrative effort, configure a call forward rule on the shared devices. This involves setting up automatic call forwarding at the device level to redirect incoming calls or setting up auto-dialing rules. This approach requires minimal per-device configuration and centralizes the management through Teams admin policies rather than individually configuring each device manually.

FAQ

MS-721 Exam FAQ

Common questions about the exam itself

What background do I need to attempt MS-721?
You should have hands-on experience administering Microsoft Teams, familiarity with Microsoft 365 concepts, and some background in voice or telephony systems. Experience with the Teams Admin Center and PowerShell is important since the exam is scenario-heavy and tests practical skills.
Is MS-721 harder than other Microsoft Associate exams?
MS-721 is considered more challenging than typical Microsoft Associate exams because it requires both Microsoft 365 knowledge and voice engineering concepts. The scenario-based questions demand real experience with Teams Phone, direct routing, and call configuration.
How long does it typically take to prepare for MS-721?
Most candidates spend 8 to 12 weeks preparing, though this varies significantly. Your background in Teams administration and voice systems will affect your timeline. Building a lab environment with a Microsoft 365 developer tenant is essential and takes time.
Which objective area is most challenging for candidates preparing for MS-721?
Teams Phone configuration and management, including direct routing and auto attendant setup, is where most candidates struggle. This area requires deep PowerShell knowledge and understanding of SIP trunks and calling plans.
What score do I need to pass MS-721?
You need a scaled score of 700 out of 1000 to pass. The exam uses a scaled scoring system, so the raw number of questions you need to answer correctly depends on the difficulty of the questions presented to you.
How is the MS-721 exam delivered?
You can take MS-721 online from home with remote proctoring or at a local Pearson VUE test centre. The exam is 100 minutes long and includes multiple-choice, multiple-response, drag-and-drop, and case study questions.
How long is the MS-721 certification valid?
The certification is valid for one year and renews annually at no cost when you log into your Microsoft Learn profile. You do not need to retake the exam to renew.
What jobs does MS-721 certification prepare me for?
MS-721 targets roles like Teams Voice Engineer, Collaboration Communications Systems Engineer, and Unified Communications specialists. You would be responsible for designing and managing Teams Phone systems, configuring meetings and devices, and supporting voice infrastructure.
How does MS-721 fit with other Microsoft Teams certifications?
MS-721 is the advanced certification for Teams voice specialists. You might start with general Microsoft 365 certifications and then specialize in MS-721 for voice and calling features. Other Teams-focused exams cover broader administration rather than voice engineering specifically.
Can I retake MS-721 if I fail?
Yes, you can retake the exam. You must wait 24 hours before your first retake, and longer waits apply to subsequent retakes. Each retake requires you to pay the full exam fee again.
