Quick Answer
The answer is compliance trends over time, along with CSV export and per-device status views. These three options are supported because Microsoft Intune provides a dedicated Compliance reports node under Devices, where you can export raw data to CSV for offline analysis, drill into individual device compliance states for troubleshooting, and leverage the built-in trends chart to monitor policy adherence over days or weeks. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your familiarity with Intune’s actual reporting capabilities versus common misconceptions; the trap is that Intune lacks both a real-time dashboard (it refreshes on a schedule) and native scheduled email reports (Power Automate is required instead). To remember, think of the acronym “CST” — CSV, Status per device, Trends — and note that real-time and automated email are the two distractors you should always eliminate.
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of manage and maintain devices. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which THREE are supported reporting options in Microsoft Intune for device compliance?
Export compliance data to CSV
Export is available in the compliance report.
View compliance status for each device
Device compliance status is visible per device.
Compliance trends over time
Trends are available in the reports.
Real-time compliance dashboard
Why wrong: No real-time dashboard; data is periodic.
Scheduled email reports
Why wrong: Not natively supported; needs automation.
Answer choices

Correct answer & explanation
Export compliance data to CSV
Options A, B, and D are correct. A: You can export compliance reports to CSV. B: You can view compliance status per device. D: You can view compliance trends over time. Option C is wrong because Intune does not have a built-in dashboard for real-time compliance; it updates periodically. Option E is wrong because you cannot schedule automatic email reports natively; you would need Power Automate.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Answer analysis

Common exam traps
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Detailed technical explanation
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Real-world example
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
What to study next
Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related MD-102 NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.
