Prepare infrastructure for devices →mediumMultiple ChoiceObjective-mapped

Quick Answer

The answer is a device with OS version 10.0.17134.2 (build 1803). This is correct because Intune compliance policy OS version enforcement uses a minimum version rule, meaning any device whose build number exceeds the policy’s specified minimum (17134.1) is marked non-compliant, even if the major version and build label match. The policy targets Windows 10 version 1803 with a floor of build 17134.1, so a device running build 17134.2 is above that threshold and fails compliance. On the MD-102 exam, this tests your understanding that compliance policies do not require an exact OS version match—they enforce a lower bound, and higher builds are treated as non-compliant unless the policy explicitly allows them. A common trap is assuming a higher build number is automatically compliant because it’s “newer,” but the policy acts as a ceiling for the specified version. Memory tip: think of it as a “minimum floor, not a target”—if you’re above the floor, you’re out.

MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question

This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of prepare infrastructure for devices. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. 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.

Refer to the exhibit. You are evaluating a compliance policy for Windows 10. The policy is assigned to a group containing devices running Windows 10 version 1803 (build 17134.1). Which of the following devices will be marked as non-compliant?

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

✓

A device with OS version 10.0.17134.2 (build 1803).

The compliance policy targets Windows 10 version 1803 (build 17134.1). A device with OS version 10.0.17134.2 (build 1803) is non-compliant because its build number (17134.2) is higher than the policy's specified minimum version (17134.1), and compliance policies typically enforce a minimum OS version, not an exact match. Any device with a build number greater than the policy's defined version is marked non-compliant unless the policy explicitly allows higher versions.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    A device with OS version 10.0.16299.0 (build 1709).

    Why it's wrong here

    This is within the allowed range.

  • ✗

    A device with OS version 10.0.17134.1 (build 1803).

    Why it's wrong here

    This is exactly the max version, so it is compliant.

  • ✓

    A device with OS version 10.0.17134.2 (build 1803).

    Why this is correct

    This build is higher than the maximum allowed, so non-compliant.

    Related concept

    Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

  • ✗

    A device with OS version 10.0.15063.0 (build 1703).

    Why it's wrong here

    This is exactly the min version, so compliant.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

The trap here is that candidates assume a device with a higher build number (e.g., 17134.2) is compliant because it is 'newer' than the minimum, but Intune compliance policies mark devices with a higher build number as non-compliant unless the policy explicitly uses a 'greater than or equal to' operator, which is not the default for 'Minimum OS version'.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

In Microsoft Intune compliance policies, the 'Minimum OS version' setting evaluates the build number as a string or integer, not just the major version. A device with build 17134.2 is considered a higher version than 17134.1, so it fails the 'minimum' check unless the policy is configured to allow 'any' higher version. This behavior is consistent with Windows 10 versioning where build numbers increment with cumulative updates, and Intune treats each build as a distinct version for compliance evaluation.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.

TExam Day Tips

  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Key takeaway

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
