The answer is to configure enrollment device platform restrictions to block personally owned devices, specifically by setting the "Allow personally owned devices" option to "Block" for each platform. This works because Microsoft Intune enrollment restrictions operate at two levels: device platform restrictions (which control which OS versions and types can enroll) and device limit restrictions, but the critical toggle for blocking personal devices is found within the platform restriction settings under the "Personal" tab. On the MD-102 exam, this concept tests your understanding that enrollment restrictions are separate from compliance policies or conditional access—a common trap is confusing the "Mark device as compliant" setting with enrollment blocking, or thinking that a Conditional Access policy alone can prevent personal enrollment. Remember, enrollment happens first, so you must block at the enrollment gate, not later in compliance. A useful memory tip is "Block at the gate, don't wait to regulate"—configure platform restrictions to deny personal devices before they ever connect to Intune.
MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of prepare infrastructure for 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.
You are configuring Microsoft Intune for a new organization. You need to ensure that users can only enroll corporate-owned devices and are blocked from enrolling personal devices. Which TWO settings should you configure?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure enrollment restrictions to set 'Allow personally owned devices' to 'No'.
Options B and D are correct. Device type restrictions allow you to block personal devices. Enrollment restrictions include device platform and personal/corporate settings. Option A is not a restriction setting. Option C is for compliance, not enrollment. Option E is for conditional access, not enrollment blocking.
Key principle: 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 company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
