Sample 1 · Concept

Your organization wants every outbound message from the Sales OU to be blind-copied to a compliance mailbox for record-keeping, without altering delivery to the original recipients. Which configuration should you apply?

Pick one, then submit.

Sample 2 · Scenario

You are migrating mailboxes from an IMAP-based email system to Gmail for 150 users. You need each user's existing mail, contacts, and calendar events to end up in their new Google Workspace account, and you want a tool built into the Admin console that does not require installing sync software on each desktop. What should you do first?

Pick one, then submit.

Sample 3 · Ordering

Put the following steps in the correct order to roll out enforced 2-Step Verification domain-wide while minimizing user lockouts.

Drag an item onto another to swap them, or use the arrows, then submit.

1Monitor the 2SV enrollment report to confirm adoption across OUs
2Turn on enforcement so unenrolled users are required to complete setup at next sign-in
3Turn on 2SV enrollment as optional and let users register a verification method
4Set 2SV enforcement to start on a future date to give users a grace period

Sample 4 · Multi-select

Select all that apply: A former employee's account was suspended and their license reassigned to a new hire to control cost. Legal now needs their old Gmail and Drive content preserved and searchable in Vault for a pending matter. What should you do?

Select all that apply, then submit.
