Exam 74-678 sample program licensing questions available! This is the third in our series of questions to help you check out whether you know enough to pass the 74-678 exam. Each test is a random 20 questions on all the licensing programs aimed at large organisations including the MPSA and the Server and Cloud Enrolment.
Take it here: http://bit.ly/74-678, and don’t forget to register if you want to know when all our other resources are released.
Customers buying through the MPSA need access to the Microsoft Volume Licensing Center (MVLC) and there’s an updated (September 2014) guide.
The previous guide was written at the time of the Windows Azure Active Directory Preview Portal and so all the processes and screenshots are (nicely) updated for the new Azure Management Portal. There’s also a useful new table on MVLC roles and permissions on pages 19/20 and one on AAD admin roles and permissions on page 31.
If your job involves accessing or teaching people how to use MVLC then the instructions in Appendices A and B are worth a read. Get it here: http://bit.ly/1vIzfze.
This is the second of our sets of questions to help you check out whether you know enough to pass the 74-678 exam. See if you’re up to scratch on the Product List, PUR, VLSC and all of the other key tools with 10 questions randomly chosen from our big bank of questions.
We reckon you should be aiming to get at least 70% correct and you can try it out here: http://bit.ly/74-678. Don’t forget to register if you want to know when all of the other resources become available.

There’s a big bank of questions and you’ll get a random 20 questions each time you take the test. Good luck!

Microsoft announce a preview for group-based licence management to simplify the assignment of user licences for Azure AD Premium and the Enterprise Mobility Suite.
IT administrators can now assign a security group and Azure AD will automatically assign licences to all the members of the group. If a user is subsequently added to, or removed from the group, a licence will be automatically assigned or removed as appropriate.
