MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
You are a Microsoft Intune administrator for Tailwind Traders. The company has enrolled Windows 11 devices. You need to configure BitLocker encryption on all devices using Intune. You have created an endpoint security policy for BitLocker and assigned it to the correct group. After 24 hours, some devices still show as not encrypted. You verify that the devices are compliant with the policy's prerequisites. What should you do to force the policy to apply?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Remotely sync the devices from the Intune console to refresh policy.
Triggering a sync on the devices will force the policy to be applied. Re-creating the policy is unnecessary. Using a local GPO is not managed centrally. Checking the hardware is not relevant.
