MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of manage and maintain 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 of the following are device configuration settings you can manage with Microsoft Intune? (Choose two.)
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Device restrictions (e.g., camera, Bluetooth)
Device restrictions, such as disabling the camera or Bluetooth, are a core configuration setting in Microsoft Intune. These are managed through device configuration profiles that enforce policies on devices, regardless of the user logged in. Option B is correct because Intune's device restrictions profile allows administrators to control hardware and system features at the device level.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Application settings for Microsoft 365 Apps
Why it's wrong here
App settings are managed via app configuration policies.
✓
Device restrictions (e.g., camera, Bluetooth)
Why this is correct
Device restrictions are part of device configuration.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse device restrictions with other configuration profile types like Wi-Fi or email profiles, but the question specifically asks for 'device configuration settings' that manage device-level features, not connectivity or account settings.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Device restrictions in Intune use Configuration Service Provider (CSP) nodes, such as Policy CSP for Windows or the Restrictions CSP for mobile devices, to enforce settings like camera disablement via the `Camera` policy. In a real-world scenario, a healthcare organization might use device restrictions to disable the camera on all clinical workstations to prevent HIPAA violations, while still allowing Bluetooth for medical peripherals. This granular control is achieved through OMA-URI settings in custom profiles if the built-in restrictions are insufficient.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
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.
