Quick Answer
The answer is PowerShell scripts in Microsoft Intune. This is correct because Intune’s dedicated PowerShell scripts feature under Device management allows you to upload and assign custom scripts that execute during device enrollment, making it the only option that directly supports running arbitrary code to configure network settings. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of the distinct roles of Intune’s management tools: compliance policies evaluate device state, configuration profiles apply settings via CSPs or OMA-URI, and endpoint security policies enforce security baselines—none of which can run a custom script. A common trap is confusing configuration profiles with script execution, but remember that profiles are for declarative settings, not procedural code. To deploy custom PowerShell scripts during enrollment, always look for the PowerShell scripts node in Intune. Memory tip: “Scripts run, profiles set.”
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of protect 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 Windows 11 devices. You need to deploy a custom PowerShell script that runs during enrollment to configure network settings. What should you use?
Device compliance policy
Why wrong: Compliance policies do not run scripts.
Device configuration profile with custom OMA-URI
Why wrong: OMA-URI can set registry keys but not run complex scripts.
PowerShell scripts in Microsoft Intune
Intune has a dedicated 'PowerShell scripts' section for running scripts.
Endpoint security policy
Why wrong: Endpoint security policies do not support custom scripts.

Correct answer & explanation
PowerShell scripts in Microsoft Intune
Intune supports custom scripts via the 'PowerShell scripts' feature under 'Device management'. Option C is correct because you can add a PowerShell script to run during enrollment or at scheduled times. Option A is incorrect because compliance policies do not run scripts. Option B is incorrect because configuration profiles can include OMA-URI settings but not arbitrary scripts. Option D is incorrect because endpoint security policies do not run scripts.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A healthcare organisation deploys an application with a public-facing web tier and a private database tier. The database subnet has no public IP and only accepts connections from the web tier's security group. Questions like this test whether you can design cloud network isolation using VNets/VPCs, subnets, and security group rules.
