The correct first step is to verify that the devices are members of the assigned group. In Microsoft Intune, device restrictions profiles—including the setting to disable the camera—apply only to devices that are direct members of the group targeted by the policy. If the iOS devices are not explicitly in that group, the policy will never reach them, regardless of how correctly the setting is configured. This scenario tests your understanding of Intune’s group-based assignment model, a common pitfall in the MD-102 exam where candidates often assume that a policy assigned to an “All Devices” dynamic group automatically includes every device. The trap here is that dynamic group membership can be delayed or misconfigured, so always confirm group membership first before troubleshooting the policy itself. Remember the memory tip: “Group first, setting second”—if the device isn’t in the group, the policy is invisible to it.
MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question
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 devices. You need to configure a policy that prevents users from disabling the camera on their corporate iOS devices. You create a device restrictions profile and set the 'Enable camera' setting to 'No'. You assign the profile to a group containing all iOS devices. After 24 hours, users report that the camera is still functional. What should you check first?

Clue: "first"
Why it matters: Order matters here. You are being tested on which action comes before the others — not which action is generally useful.
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 devices are members of the assigned group.
Option A is correct because the profile must be assigned to the correct group; if the devices are not in the group, the policy won't apply. Option B is wrong because the setting is correct. Option C is wrong because iOS restrictions are applied at the device level, not user. Option D is wrong because device compliance is not relevant here.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Why it's wrong here
'No' is correct to disable camera.
✗
Review the device compliance status.
Why it's wrong here
Compliance is separate from device restrictions.
✗
Check if the profile is applied to users instead of devices.
Why it's wrong here
iOS restrictions are device-based.

TExam Day Tips
→Underline the problem statement mentally.
→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.
