MD-102 Practice Question: A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage iOS…
A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage iOS devices. They want to enforce a policy that requires a passcode of at least 6 characters and auto-lock after 5 minutes. Which configuration profile type should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse Device restrictions profiles with Compliance policies, but Compliance policies evaluate settings after they are applied, whereas Device restrictions profiles actually enforce the settings on the device.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Device restrictions profile.
A Device restrictions profile is the correct configuration profile type because it contains the security settings for iOS devices, including passcode requirements (minimum length, complexity) and device lock timeouts (auto-lock after minutes). This profile type enforces device-level security policies directly managed by Intune, making it the appropriate choice for requiring a 6-character passcode and 5-minute auto-lock.
