MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit.
{
"enrollmentTimeDeviceMembershipProcessingStatus": "pending",
"deviceConfiguration": {
"omaSettings": [
{
"omaUri": "./Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/DeviceLock/MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock",
"value": "15"
}
]
},
"enrollmentState": "Enrolled",
"complianceState": "compliant"
}A Windows device shows enrollment state 'Enrolled' and compliance state 'compliant', but the policy setting 'MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock' is not applied. The exhibit shows the device JSON from Intune. What is the most likely reason?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is that candidates see 'Enrolled' and 'Compliant' and assume the device is fully healthy, but they overlook that policy application is asynchronous and depends on group membership processing, which can lag behind enrollment and compliance evaluation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The device's group membership is still being processed, so policies are not yet applied.
When a device shows 'Enrolled' and 'Compliant' in Intune, the issue is not enrollment or compliance but policy delivery. The 'MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock' OMA-URI setting (./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/DeviceLock/MaxInactivityTimeDeviceLock) is a CSP-based policy that applies via group membership targeting. If the device was recently added to the group or the group membership is still being evaluated, Intune's policy processing cycle (which runs every 15–30 minutes by default) may not have delivered the policy yet. The JSON exhibit likely shows the device is in a pending state for policy application despite being enrolled and compliant.
