MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question

"encryptionMethod": "AES256",
"requireDeviceEncryption": true,
"requireEncryptionForOsDrive": true
}
}You have deployed the above Endpoint Protection configuration profile to Windows 10 devices. Some users report that their devices are not encrypted. You verify that the devices have TPM 2.0 and meet hardware requirements. What is the most likely cause?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently assume meeting hardware requirements (TPM 2.0) is sufficient for BitLocker encryption, overlooking the mandatory recovery key escrow configuration in the Intune policy that is required to initiate encryption.
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
✓
The policy does not configure recovery key escrow to Azure AD.
When BitLocker encryption is enabled via an Endpoint Protection configuration profile in Microsoft Intune, the policy must include recovery key escrow to Azure AD for encryption to proceed. Without this setting, BitLocker will not encrypt the drive, even if the device meets TPM and hardware requirements. The policy in question likely has the 'Require BitLocker recovery key to be stored in Azure AD' option set to 'Not configured' or 'No', which prevents encryption from starting.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The policy does not configure recovery key escrow to Azure AD.
Why this is correct
BitLocker requires a recovery password to be escrowed; without it, encryption may not start.
- ✗
The policy disables encryption for the OS drive.
Why it's wrong here
The policy enables encryption for OS drive.
- ✗
The devices do not have a TPM chip.
Why it's wrong here
TPM is present and required.
- ✗
The encryption method is not supported by the devices.
Why it's wrong here
AES256 is supported by Windows 10.
