Microsoft Azure Architect Design (AZ-301) Practice Exam

The recommended Azure AD license for enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) settings with the most features is the Premium P2 license. This license not only includes all the capabilities available in the other licensing tiers but also adds advanced security features, such as Conditional Access and Identity Protection.

With the Premium P2 license, organizations can implement more granular MFA policies based on user risk and behavioral analytics, ensuring that MFA methods can be adapted to match the security requirements of different scenarios. This includes the ability to enforce MFA based on user roles, sign-in locations, and device compliance status, thereby providing robust security tailored to an organization's needs.

In contrast, while the Free and Basic licenses provide some level of MFA capability, they lack the advanced management and policy options available in the Premium licenses. The Premium P1 license does offer additional features like Conditional Access, but Premium P2 extends those capabilities further, making it the most comprehensive option for organizations wanting to maximize their MFA deployment and security posture.
