Quick Answer
The answer is requiring encryption on the device and setting a minimum OS version. These two compliance settings are configured in Microsoft Intune for Android devices because Intune’s compliance policies directly evaluate the device’s operating system build and its encryption status to ensure data security. For the MD-102 exam, this question tests your ability to distinguish between compliance settings and device restrictions or conditional access controls. A common trap is confusing iOS-specific checks like jailbreak detection or screen lock enforcement with Android capabilities; Intune does not check for jailbreak on Android, nor does it enforce screen lock type as a compliance rule—that belongs to device configuration profiles. Similarly, antivirus status is not a compliance check for Android. To remember, think of the core Android compliance pillars: OS version and encryption are the two foundational settings that directly protect data at rest and control access based on device currency.
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of protect devices. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. 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 TWO compliance settings can be configured in Microsoft Intune for Android devices?
Device is not jailbroken
Why wrong: Jailbreak is for iOS, not Android.
Require a specific screen lock type
Why wrong: This is a device restriction, not compliance.
Minimum OS version
Common compliance setting.
Require antivirus to be installed
Why wrong: Not a compliance setting for Android.
Require encryption on the device
Encryption is a compliance setting.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Minimum OS version
Options A and D are correct. Intune can enforce minimum OS version and require encryption. Option B is wrong because Intune does not check for jailbreak on Android; that's for iOS. Option C is wrong because Intune does not enforce screen lock type directly in compliance; it's a device restriction. Option E is wrong because Intune does not check for antivirus on Android.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
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. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
