MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You are the endpoint administrator for a company that uses Microsoft Intune. The company has a policy that all Windows devices must have a minimum OS version of 10.0.19045. You need to create a compliance policy that enforces this requirement. Which type of compliance setting should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse Device Health with Device Properties; Device Health monitors security features, not OS version.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Device Properties
The minimum OS version is a built-in setting under Device Properties in Intune compliance policies. Configuring it there ensures devices are evaluated against the specified version. Other setting categories like Device Health, System Security, and Custom Compliance serve different purposes and do not provide a direct way to set a minimum OS version.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Custom Compliance
Why it's wrong here
Custom Compliance allows you to define your own compliance rules using a JSON file and a PowerShell script. It is used for requirements not natively supported, such as checking for a specific registry key. For a simple minimum OS version, the built-in Device Properties setting is sufficient and more straightforward. Using Custom Compliance would be unnecessarily complex.
- ✗
Device Health
Why it's wrong here
Device Health settings in Intune compliance policies are used to monitor attributes like BitLocker, Secure Boot, and code integrity. They do not enforce a minimum OS version. The minimum OS version is configured under Device Properties, not Device Health. Therefore, this setting does not meet the requirement.
- ✗
System Security
Why it's wrong here
System Security settings include requirements for password, encryption, and firewall. They do not include OS version requirements. While important for overall security, they are not used to enforce a minimum OS version. Thus, this setting type is incorrect for the scenario.
- ✓
Device Properties
Why this is correct
Device Properties in a compliance policy includes settings such as Minimum OS version, Maximum OS version, and Mobile Device Management (MDM) compliance. By specifying the minimum OS version as 10.0.19045, you enforce that devices must run that version or later to be compliant. This directly satisfies the company's policy.
