An administrator needs to create shared mailboxes, configure mail flow rules, and manage email retention for the organisation. Which admin centre is purpose-built for these mailbox and mail flow tasks?
- AExchange admin center Correct
- BMicrosoft 365 admin center
- CSharePoint admin center
- DMicrosoft Purview portal
Why A is correct: The Exchange admin center is the dedicated console for mailboxes, mail flow rules, and messaging retention, so it is where shared mailboxes and transport rules are configured.
Why B is wrong: This centre handles tenant-wide users, licences, and billing, and it links out to specialist centres, but shared mailboxes and mail flow rules are configured in the dedicated messaging centre rather than here.
Why C is wrong: This centre manages sites, storage, and sharing policies for SharePoint, which is tempting because it also touches content, but it does not configure mailboxes or mail flow.
Why D is wrong: This portal governs compliance, retention labels, and data protection across services, which sounds related to email retention, but it does not create mailboxes or set transport rules.
