MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit.
{
"@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.windows10CompliancePolicy",
"description": "Compliance policy for managed devices",
"displayName": "Windows 10 Compliance Policy",
"passwordRequired": true,
"passwordMinimumLength": 8,
"passwordExpirationDays": 90,
"osMinimumVersion": "10.0.19041.0",
"osMaximumVersion": "10.0.22621.0",
"storageRequireEncryption": true,
"activeFirewallRequired": true,
"defenderEnabled": true
}Refer to the exhibit. You deploy this compliance policy to Windows 10 devices. Some devices running Windows 10 22H2 (build 19045.3803) are marked as noncompliant. What is the most likely reason?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often assume the noncompliance is due to a missing firewall or OS version mismatch, but the exhibit clearly shows only password policy settings, so the focus should be on the password length requirement.
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 device has a password length of 6 characters, not meeting the minimum of 8.
The compliance policy specifies a minimum password length of 8 characters, and devices with a password length of 6 characters fail this requirement. In Microsoft Intune, compliance policies evaluate device settings against defined rules, and a password length below the minimum is a common reason for noncompliance. The devices are running Windows 10 22H2 (build 19045.3803), which is within the allowed OS version range, so the issue is specifically the password policy.
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 has a password length of 6 characters, not meeting the minimum of 8.
Why this is correct
The policy requires a minimum password length of 8, so a device with a shorter password would be noncompliant.
- ✗
The policy requires a firewall, but Windows Defender Firewall is disabled on the device.
Why it's wrong here
While this could cause noncompliance, the password requirement is a more common issue and is explicitly set in the policy.
- ✗
The device is not enrolled in Microsoft Intune.
Why it's wrong here
If not enrolled, the policy would not apply at all, but the device is showing as noncompliant, so it must be enrolled.
- ✗
The device is running a build outside the allowed OS version range specified in the policy.
Why it's wrong here
The device build 19045.3803 is within the range 19041.0 to 22621.0, so this is not the cause.
