MD-102 Practice Question: Which THREE of the following are valid methods…
Which THREE of the following are valid methods for deploying Microsoft Intune compliance policies to devices?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse device categories as a direct assignment target, but they are only used to define membership rules for dynamic device groups, not as a policy assignment scope.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Assign the policy to a user group, which applies to devices enrolled by those users.
Microsoft Intune compliance policies can be assigned to user groups, and when a user in the group enrolls a device, the policy applies to that device. This is the most common deployment method, leveraging user-based targeting to ensure compliance settings are enforced on devices associated with those users.
