MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of manage and maintain 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.
Refer to the exhibit. You create a custom configuration profile in Intune for Windows 10 devices. The profile is assigned to a test device, but the telemetry setting is not applied. The device is managed and compliant. What is the most likely reason?
Clue words in this question
Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.
Clue: "most likely"
Why it matters: Probability qualifier — the question wants the most probable cause or outcome, not a guaranteed one. Eliminate low-probability options.
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The AllowTelemetry policy value must be an integer, not a string, or the device needs a Windows 10 version that supports this setting.
Option C is correct because the AllowTelemetry policy requires a value of 0 to disable telemetry, but the OMA-URI string must match the expected data type; the value '0' as a string may not be accepted, or the device may require a specific version. Option A is wrong because the custom profile overwrites, it doesn't conflict with built-in policies. Option B is wrong because the device is compliant. Option D is wrong because the OMA-URI path is correct.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
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 device is not compliant with the baseline policy.
Why it's wrong here
The stem says the device is compliant.
✗
The OMA-URI path for AllowTelemetry is incorrect.
Why it's wrong here
The path ./Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/System/AllowTelemetry is correct for Windows 10.
✓
The AllowTelemetry policy value must be an integer, not a string, or the device needs a Windows 10 version that supports this setting.
Why this is correct
AllowTelemetry expects an integer (0-3); OMA-URI string type may cause failure. Also, some settings require specific builds.
Clue confirmation
The clue word "most likely" in the question point toward this answer.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
✗
The custom profile conflicts with a built-in policy that sets telemetry to full.
Why it's wrong here
Custom profiles apply after built-in policies, but the exhibit shows a custom profile that should overwrite.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Trap categories for this question
Command / output trap
Custom profiles apply after built-in policies, but the exhibit shows a custom profile that should overwrite.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
→Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
→Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
→Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
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. NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
