Quick Answer
The correct answer is an app protection policy (MAM). This policy type is correct because it applies conditional launch settings at the app layer, allowing you to enforce a minimum OS version requirement specifically for Microsoft Outlook for iOS without needing device enrollment. On the MD-102 exam, this scenario tests your understanding of how Intune’s Mobile Application Management separates app-level controls from device management—a common trap is confusing MAM policies with device compliance policies, which require enrollment and apply to the entire device. Remember that for app protection policy minimum OS version Outlook iOS requirements, you are targeting the app, not the device. A useful memory tip: MAM = “Manage the App, not the Machine,” so when you need to control Outlook access based on iOS version, think app layer, not device layer.
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of manage and maintain devices. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage devices. You need to ensure that only devices with a minimum OS version can access corporate email via Microsoft Outlook for iOS. Which policy type should you configure?
Clue words in this question
Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.
Clue: "minimum / minimize"
Why it matters: Asks for the least resource use — fewest addresses, smallest subnet, lowest overhead. Eliminate over-provisioned options even if they would technically work.
Device configuration policy
Why wrong: Device configuration policies set device settings.
Conditional Access policy
Why wrong: Conditional Access can check device compliance but not app-level OS version.
Device compliance policy
Why wrong: Device compliance policies apply to the device, not the app.
App protection policy (MAM)
App protection policies can require a minimum OS version for managed apps.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
App protection policy (MAM)
Option D is correct because App Protection Policies (MAM) allow you to target specific apps like Microsoft Outlook for iOS with conditional launch settings, including minimum OS version requirements. This policy applies at the app layer without requiring device enrollment, making it ideal for controlling access to corporate data in Outlook on iOS devices based on OS version.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Device configuration policy
Why it's wrong here
Device configuration policies set device settings.
Conditional Access policy
Why it's wrong here
Conditional Access can check device compliance but not app-level OS version.
Device compliance policy
Why it's wrong here
Device compliance policies apply to the device, not the app.
App protection policy (MAM)
Why this is correct
App protection policies can require a minimum OS version for managed apps.

Common exam traps
The trap here is that candidates often confuse Device Compliance Policies (Option C) with app-level OS version controls, not realizing that MAM policies can enforce OS version requirements directly on the app without device enrollment.
Detailed technical explanation
App Protection Policies (MAM) use Intune's SDK to enforce conditional launch settings at the app runtime, checking the OS version before allowing data access. This works even on unenrolled devices by intercepting app startup and applying policies via the Intune MAM service, which communicates with the Outlook app through the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL). A real-world scenario is a BYOD program where you want to allow personal iOS devices to access corporate email in Outlook but only if they run iOS 16 or later, without requiring full device management.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
