An organization migrates to Office 365.
The Office 365 administrator must be notified when Office 365 maintenance activities are planned.
You need to configure the administrator’s computer to receive the notifications.
What should you configure?
A.
Office 365 Management Pack for System Center Operations Manager
B.
Service requests
C.
Service health page
D.
Office 365 Service Health RSS Notifications feed
Tricky question. Looks like both A and D could be right.

So which is it?
A
Except the question does not state you are using SCCM, don’t assume you have it. This makes D the only true valid question.
TestingNovice is very wise…the answer is D.
The correct answer is D.
If the RSS contains the planned maintenance than D. But I think you can check the planned maintenance only from the admin pages. So I think D is the correct answer.

Sorry, I think A is the correct…
I tend to D
The Service health RSS feed provides real-time access to information about service incidents and planned maintenance events. The RSS feed is updated when a new event is added or an existing event is.
I agree…

D
That and the fact that there is no mention of SCOM being used which to me immediately rules out A
so what is the final answer?
I say D. YOu need to configure the administrator’s computer. This is achieved by RSS Feed.
Hmm i think its A
As far as I know the RSS feed only displays service health and its called “Office 365 Service Health RSS Notifications”… the planned maintenance part is seperate?
Wheras you can definitely use a SCOM management pack to hook into the O365 API.
Can any prove its D?
RSS does not notify anyone, it only display, I think A is correct.
I my opinion is A, because because the Adminsitrator computers must be receive the notification, and you can do this by System center operation 2012 R2, in this case you could import the management pack from o365 and set the alerts. this is my opinion.
but thinking more, the letter D too is possible, just install a RSS tool in a Administrator computer and configure to receive the o365 rss notification.. I not sure.
The problem is that the RSS feed is for service health incidents only…. it doesnt notify regarding planned maintenance
Its A
A: You can use System Center Operations Manager with the Office 365 Management Pack and a Watcher Node PC to configure notification if Microsoft plans a Maintenance for Office 365.

Here is stated:
The Service health RSS feed provides real-time access to information about service incidents and planned maintenance events. The RSS feed is updated when a new event is added or an existing event is updated.
We can’t assume that System Center is used or not.
So I think that is should be D.
I have to think the answer is A…

It’s amazing how many people think A is the answer. Is this your first Microsoft exam? Unless they say SCOM is being used then A is not an option. Yes it could do it, you are correct on that, but it’s not an option here.
The answer is A.
The operative Word is what do you configure! ( So it is open to interpretation ) You dont configure RSS feeds to configure on the admin’s laptop you need SCOM installed.

Sorry Justin, but I agree with Damings on this one.
Justin is correct. You can’t assume there is a SCOM environment, therefore the management pack would be useless by itself.
D
A, C & D can all provide the maintenance information.
However, the question specifically says you have to ‘configure the administrator’s computer’. The SCOM management pack would be configured on the SCCM server, and the service health webpage would not require configuration. The only thing you could realistically set up locally would be an RSS feed.
administrator’s computer
If you want to configure computer, so SCOM is the best solution.
A. is correct
A is the answer

D is wrong. is the administrator going to sit around waiting for an RSS feed? RSS will give the information but not an alert. SCOM will give an alert.
Depending on assumptions – both A & D are correct but closely looked at it – D is not going to send notifications where as A will.
Now, the point is who has the microsoft word on it? My money is on A.
I have office 365 admin on my mobile. I just received notification that exchange is in a degraded state. So D is the correct answer. I receive updates ever few hours through this app on my phone to keep me informed.
isn’t RSS feeds discontinued?
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/undocumentedfeatures/2015/10/12/subscribe-to-the-office-365-service-health-dashboard-rss-feed-in-outlook/
A is the correct answer
Agree with Vama
RSS D
exam-ref:
in the service health dashboard yu can click the rss icon to access RSS feed. This will provide you with notifications using the rss protocol, when a new event is added or an exisiting event is updated. You can use outlook to subscribe to rss feeds.
(outlook is on administrators computer?)
