MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit.
```json
{
"compliancePolicy": {
"@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.windows10CompliancePolicy",
"passwordRequired": true,
"passwordMinimumLength": 6,
"passwordRequiredType": "deviceDefault",
"requireHealthyDeviceReport": false,
"osMinimumVersion": "10.0.19041.0",
"osMaximumVersion": null,
"mobileOsMinimumVersion": null,
"storageRequireEncryption": true
}
}
```Refer to the exhibit. You deploy this compliance policy to Windows 10 devices. A device running Windows 10 version 20H2 (OS build 19042.1234) reports as compliant. However, the device does not have BitLocker enabled. Why is the device 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 storageRequireEncryption setting is evaluated but not enforced because the device doesn't support encryption.
The storageRequireEncryption setting in the compliance policy requires encryption, but it is only evaluated and not enforced if the device does not support encryption (e.g., lacks TPM or compatible hardware). The device is correctly reported as compliant because the setting is not applicable. Option B is incorrect because the report is accurate; the policy is not enforced due to lack of support. Option C is incorrect because the password requirement is unrelated to the encryption compliance. Option D is incorrect because an OS version above the minimum does not override the encryption requirement; the device would be non-compliant if encryption were enforced.
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 storageRequireEncryption setting is evaluated but not enforced because the device doesn't support encryption.
Why this is correct
If the device doesn't support encryption, the policy may not fail compliance.
- ✗
The device is not actually compliant; the report is incorrect.
Why it's wrong here
The report shows compliant, likely due to the encryption setting not being enforced.
- ✗
The password requirement is not enforced because passwordRequiredType is set to deviceDefault.
Why it's wrong here
Password is still required.
- ✗
The OS version is above the minimum, so compliance is granted regardless of encryption.
Why it's wrong here
Encryption is a separate setting.
