MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit.
{
"@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.windows10CompliancePolicy",
"description": "Windows 10 compliance policy",
"passwordRequired": true,
"passwordMinimumLength": 6,
"passwordRequiredType": "deviceDefault",
"osMinimumVersion": "10.0.19041.0",
"osMaximumVersion": "10.0.22621.0",
"storageRequireEncryption": true
}Refer to the exhibit. You have created the compliance policy shown in JSON format. The policy is assigned to a group containing Windows 10 devices. A device running Windows 10 version 22H2 (build 22621.1) is showing as noncompliant. What is the most likely reason?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is that candidates may assume a lower build number means the device is under the maximum, but the policy's maximum is set to an even lower build number, so the device's version actually exceeds it.
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 OS version exceeds the maximum allowed version.
The compliance policy sets a maximum OS version. The device's OS version (10.0.22621.1) is higher than the maximum allowed version specified in the policy, causing the device to be marked as noncompliant. Therefore, option C is correct.
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 does not have BitLocker encryption enabled.
Why it's wrong here
The policy requires encryption, but that would be a different reason; the build number is the issue.
- ✗
The device does not have a password set.
Why it's wrong here
The policy does not check if a password is set, only its length and type.
- ✓
The device OS version exceeds the maximum allowed version.
Why this is correct
The maximum version is 10.0.22621.0, and the device is 22621.1, which is higher.
- ✗
The password type is not set to alphanumeric.
Why it's wrong here
The policy allows deviceDefault, which can be numeric or alphanumeric.
