Exam 70-339: Managing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2016 Practice Test
Exam 70-339 practice focuses on managing SharePoint Server 2016 environments, from farm infrastructure to site and library administration. The practice bank samples tasks involving web applications, permissions, document versioning, metadata requirements, reusable site structures, and usage reporting. These scenarios connect platform configuration with the day-to-day needs of teams that publish, organize, and secure SharePoint content.
Exam overview
About the Exam 70-339: Managing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2016 Exam
SharePoint administration requires decisions at several levels. Farm work includes understanding how web applications relate to IIS and how SharePoint uses SQL Server databases. At the site level, administrators manage access for internal users and external partners, apply least-privilege permissions, and control which templates are available for creating subsites. Content management involves configuring required metadata, using version history to track or restore document revisions, and planning reusable site structures. Operational tasks also include collecting usage data for analysis and aligning SharePoint access with changes to directory accounts. The practice questions sample these concepts as administrative scenarios, helping candidates connect a stated business need—such as restricting partner access or standardizing new sites—to an appropriate SharePoint capability or configuration area.
Sample Practice Questions
Review a selection from this exam's published US Practice Tests practice bank.
A team wants to ensure that new documents added to a particular library must include a value in a designated metadata column. What should the library owner configure for that column?
Show answer
Correct answer: AMaking a column required prompts users to supply its value when adding or editing an item, helping maintain complete metadata. Versioning and search configuration do not enforce entry of a column value.
A team needs to let an external partner access a site while limiting the partner to selected content. Which SharePoint security principle should the site administrator apply when granting access?
Show answer
Correct answer: AThe principle of least privilege means granting only the permissions required for the partner's work. Farm-level or site collection administrative access is broader than necessary, and changing inheritance everywhere is not a substitute for appropriate permission assignment.
A user reports that a SharePoint page displays an older version of a file after a document was updated. Which library feature can help users review and restore earlier document revisions?
Show answer
Correct answer: ADocument library versioning stores prior versions of files, allowing users with appropriate permissions to review or restore them. The other options address different SharePoint capabilities.
An administrator wants to prevent a user from accessing a SharePoint site after that user's account has been disabled in Active Directory. What should the administrator ensure is also done in SharePoint?
Show answer
Correct answer: ADisabling an Active Directory account does not replace sound SharePoint access administration. The user's SharePoint permissions or related identity lifecycle controls should be addressed so access is revoked consistently. The other actions do not remove site access.
A SharePoint administrator needs to create a reusable site structure, including lists and pages, for provisioning similar sites. Which feature is designed for this purpose?
Show answer
Correct answer: AA site template captures a reusable site configuration, such as lists, libraries, and pages, that can be used when creating other sites. The other choices serve search, security, or monitoring purposes.
A farm administrator wants to collect information about site usage, such as visits and activity, for reporting. Which SharePoint capability is intended to gather usage data for later analysis?
Show answer
Correct answer: AUsage and Health Data Collection gathers diagnostic and usage information that can support reporting and operational analysis. It is distinct from profile synchronization, taxonomy management, and content database configuration.
A SharePoint Server 2016 administrator needs to create a new web application for a separate business unit. Which farm-level component hosts and manages the IIS web sites used by SharePoint web applications?
Show answer
Correct answer: BA SharePoint web application is the logical IIS-hosted container for site collections and provides settings such as authentication and web application policies. The other options serve different functions.

Preparation tips
- For library scenarios, distinguish required metadata settings from version history and other document-management features.
- Trace the SharePoint hierarchy from farm to web application, site collection, site, and library when deciding where a setting belongs.
- Practice applying least privilege to partner access, and consider how disabling an Active Directory account relates to SharePoint access.
- Map reusable site requirements to templates, and distinguish site structure provisioning from usage-data collection.
- Review how SharePoint Server uses IIS-hosted web applications and SQL Server databases so you can identify the appropriate administration layer.
