Who Should Buy This Book

      While this book is targeted at those who want to study for and pass the MS-700 exam, really it was written for anyone who needs to manage (or aspires to manage) Teams at any type of scale for their organization.

      That could mean you are the IT administrator for your company and want to understand how to get the most out of Teams, or it could be that you work in support but want to learn more about how Teams operates. Really, I would hope it can be picked up and used by anyone who wants to go beyond living on the “user” side of Teams. Come lift the curtain and see what is happening behind the scenes.

      As with any study guide, there is a certain level of assumed knowledge that will be helpful, although the book is structured to start with the basics and work through to the more difficult concepts (see the section earlier called “Building Knowledge Chapter by Chapter”). You should have a good understanding of how Teams behaves from an end-user point of view, and the more knowledge about how Teams works you bring with you, the more you will get out of it.

      The management behaviors we will cover also build on basic concepts of how Microsoft services operate and can be managed, so some familiarity with PowerShell and Office 365's core concepts will be helpful.

Study Guide Features

      This study guide uses a number of common elements to help you prepare. These include the following:

      Summary The summary of each chapter briefly explains the chapter, allowing you to easily understand what it covers.

      Exam Essentials The exam essentials focus on major exam topics and critical knowledge that you should take into the test. The exam essentials focus on the exam objectives provided by Microsoft.

      Chapter Review Questions A set of questions at the end of each chapter will help you assess your knowledge and whether you are ready to take the exam, based on your knowledge of that chapter's topics.

      The review questions, assessment test, and other testing elements included in this book are not derived from the actual exam questions, so don't memorize the answers to these questions and assume that doing so will enable you to pass the exam. You should learn the underlying topic, as described in the text of the book. This will let you answer the questions provided with this book and pass the exam. Learning the underlying topic is also the approach that will serve you best in the workplace—the ultimate goal of a certification.

      Conventions Used in This Book

      This book uses certain typographic styles to help you quickly identify important information and to avoid confusion over the meaning of words such as on-screen prompts. In particular, look for the following styles:

       Italicized text indicates key terms that are described at length for the first time in a chapter. (Italics are also used for emphasis.)

       A monospaced font indicates fragments of code such as PowerShell cmdlets.

       Underlined text indicates links to useful resources and content. As Teams functionality evolves over time, use these links to read more deeply about a subject or check on what the current behavior is.

In addition to these text conventions, which can apply to individual words or entire paragraphs, a few conventions highlight segments of text.

      A note indicates information that's useful or interesting but that's somewhat peripheral to the main text. A note might be a little bit of real-world knowledge that differs from what you may see in the exam, or some information that helps put things into context from the main body of text.

      References are used to give links to the relevant sections in Microsoft's documentation. Here you can dive deeper into a subject if you are interested, or you can check on what the current behavior is as the Teams service is updated and improves.

      Exercises

      An exercise is something that you can carry out from your own computer with your own Office 365 tenant. The steps in an exercise are there to act as a guide for how to perform a specific task, but the goal is to encourage you to go off and explore on your own, so don't be afraid to go off script and explore for yourself how things work or what happens when you change something. Being curious and exploring is one of the best ways to really learn the material. (Just don't change too much if you only have access to a live environment!)

MS-700 Objectives

      The following table shows the high-level breakdown of the skills that Microsoft aims to measure with the MS-700 exam. This includes the approximate weightings toward each section. As you can see, there is a lot of emphasis placed on the core planning and configuration activities, which can account for up to half of the exam. The table also tells you which chapter will primarily cover this objective area, but some will, of СКАЧАТЬ
