Sure, I'd be happy to provide a detailed explanation of mail-enabled security groups in Microsoft 365 and which statements are not correct.

Mail-enabled security groups in Microsoft 365 are a type of group that can be used to grant access to resources and send email messages to a group of people. They have the characteristics of both security groups and distribution groups, which means that they can be used to assign permissions to resources and also to distribute email messages.

Now let's take a look at the statements and identify which ones are not correct:

A. Can grant access to Microsoft 365 resources. This statement is correct. Mail-enabled security groups can be used to grant access to Microsoft 365 resources such as SharePoint sites, Teams, and other applications.

B. Can be created as an assigned group. This statement is not correct. Assigned groups are a different type of group in Microsoft 365 that are used for licensing and policy assignment purposes. Mail-enabled security groups cannot be created as an assigned group.

C. Can contain users. This statement is correct. Mail-enabled security groups can contain both users and other groups.

D. Can contain devices. This statement is not correct. Mail-enabled security groups cannot contain devices. If you need to manage device access to resources, you would use device groups.

E. Can be created as a dynamic group. This statement is correct. Mail-enabled security groups can be created as a dynamic group, which means that membership is automatically determined based on predefined rules.

Therefore, the two statements that are not correct with mail-enabled security groups are:

  • B. Can be created as an assigned group.
  • D. Can contain devices.
