Azure AD Technical Interview Questions: Understanding Azure AD

Azure AD Technical Interview Questions 1. What happens when a user is deleted from Azure AD and then restored within 30 days? What attributes or permissions might not be fully restored? 2. How does Azure AD Conditional Access differ from Intune App Protection Policies, and what happens if both are applied to a user and app simultaneously? 3. If you have two policies: one that blocks legacy authentication and another that allows it for specific users, how does Azure AD evaluate these? Which one takes precedence and why? 4. You disable a user in Azure AD, but they can still access Microsoft 365 services for a while. Explain why this might happen and how to immediately revoke access. 5. Can a single Azure AD tenant have users with the same UPN? If not, how would you allow similar usernames in multi-geo or multi-domain scenarios? 6. How does Azure AD handle group membership evaluation for a dynamic group where the rule references a user attribute that was recently changed? When will the membership reflect this? 7. How do you differentiate between a guest user and a member user in Azure AD using PowerShell or Graph API, and why does it matter in Conditional Access? 8. What are some scenarios where a user might appear in Azure AD but fail to authenticate via SSO, even though synchronization looks healthy? 9. If a user is assigned licenses via a group in Azure AD, what happens if you remove the user from the group but then re-add them? Do all license settings revert automatically? 10. Explain how Azure AD authentication works behind the scenes when a user accesses an application federated with a third-party identity provider (e.g., SAML or OIDC).
