MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question

This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of manage and maintain 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.

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.

{
  "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.windows10CompliancePolicy",
  "description": "Windows 11 compliance policy",
  "displayName": "Win11 Compliance Policy",
  "passwordRequired": true,
  "passwordMinimumLength": 8,
  "passwordMinutesOfInactivityBeforeLock": 15,
  "osMinimumVersion": "10.0.22621.0",
  "osMaximumVersion": "10.0.22621.1000",
  "tpmRequired": true,
  "deviceThreatProtectionEnabled": true,
  "deviceThreatProtectionRequiredSecurityLevel": "medium"
}

You have assigned the compliance policy shown in the exhibit to all Windows devices. A Windows 11 device running build 10.0.22621.1500 reports as noncompliant. Which setting is causing the noncompliance?

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

✓

OS version is above the maximum allowed

The compliance policy in the exhibit specifies a maximum OS version of 10.0.22621.1000, but the Windows 11 device is running build 10.0.22621.1500, which is above that maximum. Intune compares the device's OS version against the configured maximum OS version setting; if the device's version exceeds the maximum, it is marked as noncompliant. This setting is used to prevent devices with newer, potentially untested builds from accessing corporate resources.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✓

    OS version is above the maximum allowed

    Why this is correct

    The device build 22621.1500 exceeds the maximum 22621.1000.

    Related concept

    Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

  • ✗

    Password minimum length is not met

    Why it's wrong here

    Password length of 8 is typically configured.

  • ✗

    Device threat protection level is below medium

    Why it's wrong here

    Threat protection level 'medium' is typical; device may have it.

  • ✗

    TPM is not present

    Why it's wrong here

    TPM requirement is common; device likely has TPM 2.0.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

The trap here is that candidates often assume noncompliance is due to missing security features like TPM or password policies, but the exhibit clearly shows a maximum OS version setting that the device's build exceeds, making it the direct cause.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

The OS version compliance check in Intune uses the Windows build number (e.g., 10.0.22621) and the revision number (e.g., 1500) to compare against the configured minimum and maximum values. This is critical for organizations that need to block devices on preview or insider builds that may not be fully tested for compatibility. Under the hood, Intune queries the Windows Registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CurrentBuildNumber and UBR (Update Build Revision) to determine the exact build and revision.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.

TExam Day Tips

  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Key takeaway

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.
