Question

How do you enable Administrator logging to see what admins do when managing Office 365 when the end goal is to output this information into an Excel file?

a) Enable Audit Logging in Office 365 Security & Compliance Center
b) Use PowerShell cmdlets to log admin activities
c) Create a custom admin activity report in Office 365
d) Activate Admin Activity Alerts in Office 365

Answer 1

To track admin activities in Office 365 and export them to Excel, you should a. enable Audit Logging in the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center, and use the export options provided there.

Step-by-step explanation:

To enable Administrator logging in Office 365 and output this information into an Excel file, you would need to:

1. Enable Audit Logging in the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center. This feature tracks and logs a variety of actions across Office 365 services.
2. Once enabled, you can access these logs and export them to Excel for analysis. This typically involves navigating to the Audit log search and using the export options provided within the Security & Compliance Center.

While PowerShell cmdlets, custom reports, and activity alerts provide additional administrative tools, they may not directly allow the export of logs to Excel. The use of PowerShell cmdlets can automate tasks, but for your specific requirement of exporting logs, enabling Audit Logging would be the direct solution.
