MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of manage and maintain 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.
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
VPN connections over cellular are blocked.
The OMA-URI ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Connectivity/AllowCellularData refers to the policy that controls whether cellular data is allowed for VPN connections. When set to 0, it blocks VPN connections over cellular networks, enforcing that VPN traffic must use Wi-Fi or Ethernet. This is a device-level policy, not user-specific, and the OMA-URI is valid for Windows 10 devices managed by Intune.
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.
✗
VPN connections are allowed over cellular networks.
The policy will fail to apply due to an invalid OMA-URI.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The OMA-URI is valid.
✗
The policy applies only to users, not devices.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The OMA-URI starts with './Device', so it's a device policy.
✓
VPN connections over cellular are blocked.
Why this is correct
Correct. Value '0' disables (blocks) VPN over cellular.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates may confuse the OMA-URI path as invalid or think it applies only to users, when in fact the ./Device/ prefix explicitly targets the device scope, and the policy is a valid Windows 10 CSP setting.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
The Connectivity/AllowCellularData policy is part of the Policy CSP (Configuration Service Provider) in Windows 10, which uses OMA-DM to push settings to devices. When set to 0, it disables the ability for VPN connections to use cellular interfaces, effectively forcing VPN traffic to non-cellular networks. In real-world scenarios, this is often used in corporate environments to prevent high data costs or security risks associated with VPN over cellular, especially when devices are roaming or have metered connections.

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 healthcare organisation deploys an application with a public-facing web tier and a private database tier. The database subnet has no public IP and only accepts connections from the web tier's security group. Questions like this test whether you can design cloud network isolation using VNets/VPCs, subnets, and security group rules.
