MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Exhibit
{
"exhibit": "PowerShell command: Get-MgDeviceManagementManagedDevice -Filter \"operatingSystem eq 'Windows'\" | Select-Object id, deviceName, lastSyncDateTime, complianceState"}Refer to the exhibit. You run this PowerShell command using the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. What is the primary purpose of this command?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to assume the command only returns non-compliant devices because complianceState is selected, but the filter does not restrict by compliance value—it merely includes that property in the output.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
To retrieve a list of all Windows managed devices with their compliance status.
The PowerShell command uses `Get-MgDeviceManagementManagedDevice` with a filter for `operatingSystem eq 'Windows'` and selects properties including `complianceState`. This retrieves all Windows managed devices and their compliance status, making option D correct. The command does not filter by compliance state, so it returns both compliant and non-compliant devices, and it does not enforce any compliance action.
