MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
You are troubleshooting a Windows 11 device that fails to receive a PowerShell script deployed via Intune. The script is assigned to a group containing the device. Other policies on the device apply successfully. What should you check first?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often assume script signing (Option C) is required for Intune deployments, but Intune does not enforce digital signatures by default; the local execution policy is the primary gatekeeper.
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
✓
Check the Windows PowerShell execution policy on the device.
The Windows PowerShell execution policy controls whether scripts can run on the device. Even if the script is successfully delivered by Intune, a restrictive execution policy (e.g., Restricted) will block its execution. Since other policies apply successfully, connectivity and group membership are not the issue, making the execution policy the most likely cause.
