MD-102 Windows Update for Business Practice Question
Which TWO Windows Update for Business policies can you configure using Microsoft Intune?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is that candidates often think only quality and feature update deferrals are configurable in Intune, overlooking that driver update deferral periods are also part of Windows Update for Business policies. This leads them to select only A and B, missing C.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Feature update version targeting
Microsoft Intune allows you to configure a 'Feature update version targeting' policy, which specifies a target feature update version (e.g., Windows 11 23H2) for devices. Option B is correct because you can configure a 'Quality update deferral period' within an update ring policy to delay quality updates. Option C is incorrect because, although a driver update deferral period can be configured in an update ring policy, it is not a separate Windows Update for Business policy type; the question expects the two distinct policy types: Feature update version targeting and Quality update deferral period. Option D is incorrect because Windows Defender definition update schedule is not a Windows Update for Business policy; it is managed via Microsoft Defender for Endpoint or other settings. Option E is incorrect because Microsoft 365 Apps update channel is not a Windows Update for Business policy; it is configured separately for Office applications.
