MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You are the endpoint administrator for a company that uses Microsoft Intune to manage 500 Windows 11 devices. The security team requires that devices cannot be enrolled if they do not have a TPM 2.0 chip and Secure Boot enabled. You need to configure a device enrollment restriction to block enrollment of devices that do not meet these hardware requirements. What should you do?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse post-enrollment compliance evaluation with pre-enrollment blocking, leading to selection of a compliance policy instead of an enrollment restriction.
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
✓
In the Microsoft Intune admin center, create a device enrollment restriction for Windows and set the minimum TPM version and require Secure Boot.
Device enrollment restrictions are the correct tool to control which devices can enroll based on hardware attributes like TPM version and Secure Boot. Compliance policies and configuration profiles only act after enrollment, and Autopilot profiles shape the provisioning experience but do not enforce hardware prerequisites. Thus, only enrollment restrictions can block non-compliant hardware at the point of enrollment.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure a Windows Autopilot deployment profile with hardware requirements and assign it to all devices.
Why it's wrong here
Autopilot deployment profiles control the out-of-box experience and do not enforce hardware prerequisites like TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot during enrollment. They cannot block devices from enrolling based on hardware specifications, so this does not satisfy the security requirement.
- ✗
Create a configuration profile with a custom OMA-URI that checks for TPM and Secure Boot, and assign it to all devices.
Why it's wrong here
Configuration profiles apply settings to enrolled devices but cannot prevent enrollment. A custom OMA-URI can report or configure settings, but it does not block devices lacking TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot from joining Intune, so it does not meet the enrollment-blocking requirement.
- ✓
In the Microsoft Intune admin center, create a device enrollment restriction for Windows and set the minimum TPM version and require Secure Boot.
Why this is correct
Device enrollment restrictions in Intune allow you to specify hardware requirements such as minimum TPM version and Secure Boot enforcement for Windows devices. When configured, devices that do not meet these criteria are prevented from enrolling, directly fulfilling the requirement to block non-compliant hardware at enrollment time.
- ✗
Create a device compliance policy that requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, and assign it to all users.
Why it's wrong here
A compliance policy evaluates already-enrolled devices and marks them noncompliant, but it does not prevent enrollment. Devices that lack TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot would still enroll and only later be flagged, which does not meet the requirement to block enrollment upfront.
