AZ-104 Practice Question 52: Bulk Create Users CSV
Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) · Test 6 · question 2 of 10
A company is onboarding 300 new employees and has their names, departments and usernames in a spreadsheet. The administrator needs to create all 300 member accounts in Microsoft Entra ID with the least effort, without writing a script.
What should the administrator do?
Show answer and explanation
Answer:
The Microsoft Entra admin center offers bulk operations on the Users blade. Bulk create provides a CSV template with the required columns (such as the user principal name, display name and initial password), and uploading the completed file creates the member accounts in one operation. The results are reported per row, so failures can be corrected and re-run. No script is needed.
Option A creates the wrong kind of account. Bulk invite is for external users, and it produces guest accounts that authenticate with their own identities, not internal member accounts.
Option B is a synchronization tool for an on-premises Active Directory. It reads objects from a directory, not from a spreadsheet, and would require building and running a directory first.
Option D is a managed domain service that provides legacy protocols such as LDAP and Kerberos. It does not import spreadsheets, and accounts in it are synchronized from Entra ID, not the other way around.
