The answer is to identify devices that are not supported for compliance policies. This PowerShell script, using the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK, iterates through all managed devices and specifically flags Windows RT and Windows Mobile devices, outputting a message that these platforms are unsupported for compliance. The script does not remove, enroll, or check the actual compliance status of any device; its sole purpose is detection of non-compliant platform types. On the MD-102 exam, this tests your understanding of Intune compliance policy limitations and how to automate discovery of legacy or unsupported OS versions using Graph API calls. A common trap is confusing this identification script with a remediation or enforcement script—remember, it only reports, it does not act. Memory tip: think “RT and Mobile = Report, not Remove.”

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.
