MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Which TWO actions can you perform using Microsoft Intune to manage devices that are not compliant? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the actions available directly in Intune (like sending notifications or marking noncompliant) with the downstream effects of conditional access policies (like blocking access), leading them to incorrectly select 'Block access to corporate resources' as an Intune action rather than a conditional access outcome.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Send a push notification to the user.
Microsoft Intune can send push notifications to noncompliant devices via the Company Portal app, alerting users about compliance issues and required actions. Option E is correct because marking a device as noncompliant in the Intune admin center is a manual action that updates the device's compliance state, which then triggers conditional access policies to block resources. Both actions are available for managing noncompliant devices without requiring user interaction or remote wipe.

Blocking access is done via Conditional Access policies, not Intune compliance actions.
