MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Exhibit

"@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.windows10CompliancePolicy",
"passwordRequired": true,

}Refer to the exhibit. You have applied this compliance policy to a Windows 10 device running build 10.0.19044. The device meets all requirements except that the firewall is disabled. What will be the compliance status of the device?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often assume OS version compliance alone determines the overall status, ignoring that all policy conditions must be satisfied, and that a disabled firewall is a separate, immediate non-compliance factor.
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
✓
Non-compliant, because the firewall is disabled.
The device is non-compliant because the compliance policy explicitly requires the firewall to be enabled. Even though the OS version (10.0.19044) falls within the allowed range of 10.0.17763 to 10.0.19045, the firewall requirement is a separate condition that must be met. In Microsoft Intune, if any required setting is not satisfied and no grace period is configured for that setting, the device is marked non-compliant immediately.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Non-compliant, because the OS version is not within the allowed range.
Why it's wrong here
The OS version is within the allowed range.
- ✗
Compliant, because the policy includes a grace period for firewall.
Why it's wrong here
No grace period is specified in the policy.
- ✗
Compliant, because the OS version is within the allowed range.
Why it's wrong here
OS version is within range, but firewall requirement is not met.
- ✓
Non-compliant, because the firewall is disabled.
Why this is correct
Active firewall is required; disabling it makes the device non-compliant.
