MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Adventure Works uses Microsoft Intune for device management. You need to deploy a custom PowerShell script to all Windows 10 devices to configure a registry key for security compliance. The script is already uploaded to Intune as a PowerShell script. However, the script is not running on some devices. You have confirmed that the devices are enrolled, have the Intune Management Extension installed, and are online. What should you check first?
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
✓
Verify that the PowerShell execution policy on the devices allows script execution (e.g., RemoteSigned or Bypass).
The script execution policy may block scripts. The Intune Management Extension runs scripts under the system account, which respects the local execution policy. Checking the execution policy is the first step. The script assignment should be verified if it wasn't assigned, but the question states it is uploaded; assignment is a separate step. The user's role does not affect script execution. The device's OS architecture is unlikely the issue.
