}Refer to the exhibit. You are reviewing a JSON representation of a Microsoft Intune compliance policy for Windows 10. The policy is assigned to a group of devices running Windows 10 version 22H2 (build 22621). The devices are non-compliant due to the OS version. What is the most likely reason?
⚠ Common exam trap
Intune's osMaximumVersion is exclusive; a build equal to the maximum is non-compliant.
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
✓
The OS build is greater than the maximum version specified.
The policy defines the maximum OS version as 10.0.22621.0 (Windows 10 22H2), but the device is running a build that exceeds this maximum. Although the device build is 22621, the policy may interpret the build range as exclusive, or the device has a newer build (e.g., 22631) that is greater than the maximum. In either case, the OS build is greater than the allowed maximum, causing non-compliance. Option A is incorrect because the validOperatingSystemBuildRanges property is not the issue. Option C is incorrect because the build is not less than the minimum version. Option D is incorrect because the policy does not require a password.
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 validOperatingSystemBuildRanges property is empty, causing all builds to be non-compliant.
Why it's wrong here
The validOperatingSystemBuildRanges property being empty does not cause non-compliance; it simply means no additional build ranges are specified.
- ✓
The OS build is greater than the maximum version specified.
Why this is correct
Correct. The maximum version is exclusive, so build 22621 equals the maximum and is not less than it, making devices non-compliant.
- ✗
The OS build is less than the minimum version.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The build 22621 is greater than the minimum version 10.0.19041.0, so it meets the minimum requirement.
- ✗
The policy requires a password but the devices have no password.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The policy snippet does not include any password requirement; non-compliance is due to OS version only.
