MD-102 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.

```
Device ID: 12345
Compliance Status: Non-compliant
Last Check-in: 2024-03-15 14:32:00

Policy assignments:
- Compliance Policy: 'Require BitLocker' (assigned to all devices)
- Configuration Profile: 'Device Restrictions' (assigned to group 'Sales')

Device details:
- OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2
- BitLocker: Not enabled
- User: user@contoso.com
- Group membership: 'Sales' group
```

Refer to the exhibit. A Windows 10 device is showing as non-compliant. The compliance policy 'Require BitLocker' is assigned to all devices. The device does not have BitLocker enabled. However, the user is able to access corporate email on the device. What is the most likely reason for this?

⚠ Common exam trap

Many exam-takers assume a compliance policy automatically blocks access to resources when a device is non-compliant, but in reality, a separate Conditional Access policy is required to enforce that block.

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

There is no Conditional Access policy that requires compliant device for access to corporate email.

D is correct because compliance policies alone do not enforce access restrictions; they only report device compliance status. To block access to corporate email, a Conditional Access policy must be configured to require a compliant device. Without such a policy, the device can still access email even if it is non-compliant.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • The compliance policy has a grace period of 7 days for BitLocker.

    Why it's wrong here

    No grace period is mentioned; the device is non-compliant.

  • The compliance policy is not assigned to the device.

    Why it's wrong here

    The policy is assigned to all devices.

  • The device is configured as a kiosk device, which exempts it from compliance.

    Why it's wrong here

    Kiosk devices are not exempt from compliance policies.

  • There is no Conditional Access policy that requires compliant device for access to corporate email.

    Why this is correct

    Without a Conditional Access policy, compliance status does not block access.
