Question 460 of 991
Protect devices →hardMultiple ChoiceObjective-mapped

Quick Answer

The answer is no, the device is not compliant because its OS version exceeds the maximum allowed. In Microsoft Intune compliance policies, the “OS version maximum” setting defines the highest permitted build number; any device running a version higher than that threshold is automatically marked non-compliant, even if all other security requirements like BitLocker, Secure Boot, and code integrity are met. This scenario tests your understanding of version range logic in the MD-102 exam, where a common trap is assuming that meeting hardware security baselines overrides version constraints. The policy explicitly caps the version at 22621.0, and the device’s build 22621.1000 surpasses that limit, making compliance fail regardless of other settings. Remember the mnemonic: “Max means maximum—go over, you’re over.”

MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question

This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of protect 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.

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

✓

No, the device's OS version exceeds the maximum allowed.

Option B is correct because the device's OS version (22621.1000) is higher than the maximum version (22621.0) specified in the policy, making it non-compliant. Option A is wrong because the device exceeds the max version. Option C is wrong because the device is non-compliant. Option D is wrong because the policy does not require a specific edition.

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.

  • ✓

    No, the device's OS version exceeds the maximum allowed.

    Why this is correct

    The policy restricts max version to 22621.0.

    Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

  • ✗

    No, the device does not have a password set.

    Why it's wrong here

    Password is required but not the issue.

  • ✗

    Yes, the device meets all requirements.

    Why it's wrong here

    The device's OS version exceeds the maximum allowed.

  • ✗

    Yes, but only if the device is Windows 10 Pro.

    Why it's wrong here

    Edition is not a factor.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
  • Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.

TExam Day Tips

  • Underline the problem statement mentally.
  • 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 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. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
