A user, John, has left the organization. His manager, Sarah, needs access to John's 'Project X' files which are stored in his 'My Drive'. You want to transfer ownership of these files to Sarah. However, John also has many personal photos in a folder named 'Personal' that should NOT be transferred.
What is the most efficient way to achieve this using the Admin Console?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
The native 'Transfer ownership' tool in the Google Admin Console is an all-or-nothing operation for a user's My Drive. You cannot select specific folders to include or exclude. To handle the 'Personal' folder requirement, John (or an admin logging in as John) would need to move those files elsewhere or delete them BEFORE the transfer, or Sarah would receive them and have to delete them.

Your organization is rolling out Google Chat. To ensure data security, you need to prevent users in the 'Interns' Organizational Unit from chatting with external users. However, 'Interns' must be able to chat with the 'Mentors' OU within the organization. The 'Mentors' OU is allowed to chat externally.
Where do you configure this restriction?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
Google Chat settings allow for OU-based granularity. By selecting the 'Interns' OU and disabling external chat, you prevent them from communicating outside the domain. Internal communication (with Mentors) remains enabled by default unless specifically blocked.

You are configuring Google Meet video settings for a remote office with limited bandwidth. You want to force the default video quality to 'Low definition' to ensure call stability, but you want to allow users to increase it if their connection permits.
Can you enforce a default low quality while allowing user override in the Admin Console?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
Google Meet is designed to be adaptive. There is no admin setting to 'force' a specific default starting resolution like 'Low Definition' for users. The client negotiates quality based on available bandwidth and CPU. Admins can view quality issues in the Meet Quality Tool but cannot pre-configure the client resolution defaults in this manner.

A multinational corporation is preparing to synchronize their on-premises Active Directory with Google Workspace using Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS). The infrastructure team requires that no user accounts in Google Workspace are ever deleted during the synchronization process, even if they appear to be missing from the LDAP source, to prevent accidental data loss during the initial configuration phase. You need to configure the GCDS XML config file to ensure this safety mechanism is enforced. Which specific configuration setting should you verify?
Show answer details
Correct answer: C
In GCDS (Google Cloud Directory Sync), to prevent accidental deletions during sync, you configure 'Delete Limits' (protection limits) in the General Settings. By setting the limit to 0% or a specific low number, GCDS will abort the sync if the number of proposed deletions exceeds this threshold, effectively preventing mass deletions due to misconfiguration.

You are the Google Workspace Administrator for a university. The university has a strict policy that the 'Faculty' Organizational Unit (OU) must have Google Drive enabled, but the 'Students' OU must not have access to Drive. However, there is a sub-OU under 'Students' called 'Research_Assistants' that requires Drive access. The 'Students' OU is currently set to 'OFF' for Google Drive. How should you configure the 'Research_Assistants' OU to meet this requirement?
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
Organizational Unit (OU) policies in Google Workspace follow an inheritance model. By default, a child OU inherits settings from its parent. However, you can explicitly override this by selecting the child OU (Research_Assistants) and changing the setting to 'ON'. This override takes precedence over the parent's 'OFF' setting.

True or False: When you delete a user account in Google Workspace, you can restore the account and its associated data (including Gmail and Drive content) up to 20 days after deletion.
Show answer details
Correct answer: A
This is True. Google Workspace Administrators can restore a deleted user account within 20 days of deletion. After 20 days, the account and its data are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
