}Refer to the exhibit. The ARM template snippet attempts to deploy a Windows 10 Security Baseline policy in Intune. The deployment fails. What is the most likely reason?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers assume ARM templates can deploy any Azure-adjacent service, but Intune is a Microsoft 365 workload that uses a separate management plane (Microsoft Graph) and is not integrated with Azure Resource Manager for policy deployment.
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
✓
Intune configuration policies cannot be deployed via ARM templates.
Intune does not support deploying Windows 10 Security Baseline policies via ARM templates because ARM templates are designed for Azure resource management (e.g., Azure VMs, storage accounts) and cannot directly manage Intune workloads. Intune policies, including Security Baselines, must be configured through Microsoft Graph API, PowerShell, or the Intune portal, not through Azure Resource Manager.
