MD-102 Practice Question: A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows…
A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 10 devices. They need to ensure that only devices that have a BitLocker encryption status of 'fully encrypted' are allowed to access corporate resources. They create a device compliance policy that requires BitLocker. However, some devices are still accessing resources even though they are not fully encrypted. What should you check?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often assume creating a compliance policy automatically enforces it, but Microsoft Intune requires explicit assignment to user or device groups before the policy is evaluated and acted upon.
Answer choices
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
✓
The compliance policy is not assigned to the user or device groups.
A device compliance policy must be assigned to the appropriate user or device groups to take effect. If the policy is not assigned, Intune will not evaluate the devices against the BitLocker requirement, and non-compliant devices will continue to access corporate resources. The scenario indicates that the policy was created but not enforced, which points directly to a missing assignment.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The devices are running Windows 10 Home edition, which does not support BitLocker.
Why it's wrong here
If BitLocker is not supported, the device would be marked non-compliant, but the policy might not be assigned.
- ✓
The compliance policy is not assigned to the user or device groups.
Why this is correct
Without assignment, the policy does not apply, and non-compliant devices can still access resources.
- ✗
The compliance policy is set to 'Report non-compliant' instead of 'Block non-compliant'.
Why it's wrong here
Compliance policies do not have a report-only mode; they are either assigned or not.
- ✗
The compliance policy has a grace period configured that allows access for non-compliant devices.
Why it's wrong here
A grace period would allow access, but the policy might still be assigned; the issue is that non-compliant devices are accessing resources, so the policy might not be assigned.
