MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. PS C:\> Get-IntuneManagedDevice -DeviceName "PC-001" | Select-Object -Property DeviceName, OSVersion, LastSyncDateTime, ComplianceState, EnrollmentType DeviceName OSVersion LastSyncDateTime ComplianceState EnrollmentType ---------- --------- ---------------- --------------- -------------- PC-001 10.0.19044.0 2025-03-15T10:30:00Z compliant MDM
Refer to the exhibit. You run the PowerShell command shown and get the output. You need to force an immediate sync for PC-001. Which cmdlet should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse Invoke-IntuneDeviceAction with a sync action because it supports many device actions, but they fail to recognize that the correct parameter value for a sync is 'SyncDevice' (not 'Sync'), and that Sync-IntuneDevice is the dedicated cmdlet for this purpose.
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
✓
Sync-IntuneDevice -DeviceId ...
The correct cmdlet is Sync-IntuneDevice, which is specifically designed to trigger an immediate synchronization for a Microsoft Intune-managed device by specifying its DeviceId. This cmdlet sends a sync request to the Intune service, forcing the device to check in and apply any pending policies or actions without waiting for the next scheduled sync interval.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Sync-IntuneDevice -DeviceId ...
Why this is correct
This cmdlet initiates a sync with Intune.
- ✗
Start-DeviceSync -DeviceName PC-001
Why it's wrong here
This cmdlet is not part of the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module for Intune.
- ✗
Invoke-IntuneDeviceAction -DeviceId ... -Action Sync
Why it's wrong here
Invoke-IntuneDeviceAction exists but the parameter is -Action, and -Action Sync is not valid; the action is 'syncDevice'.
- ✗
Update-IntuneDevice -DeviceId ...
Why it's wrong here
This cmdlet does not exist; it would update device properties.
