}You have deployed the compliance policy shown in the exhibit. A Windows 10 device reports as non-compliant. The device has Windows 10 version 21H2 (build 19044.1288), password is set with 8 characters and includes numbers only, firewall is active, Defender is enabled, and BitLocker is on. Which setting is causing non-compliance?
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
✓
passwordRequiredType
The compliance policy requires an alphanumeric password (letters and numbers), but the device uses a password with numbers only. Option A is incorrect because a password length of 8 meets the minimum length requirement. Option C is incorrect because the device's OS build (19044.1288) falls within the allowed range (19042.0 to 19045.999). Option D is incorrect because the firewall is active.

Same concept, more angles

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. Refer to the exhibit. You deploy this compliance policy to Windows 10 devices. Some devices running Windows 10 22H2 (build 19045.3803) are marked as noncompliant. What is the most likely reason?
hard- ✓ A.The device has a password length of 6 characters, not meeting the minimum of 8.
- B.The policy requires a firewall, but Windows Defender Firewall is disabled on the device.
- C.The device is not enrolled in Microsoft Intune.
- D.The device is running a build outside the allowed OS version range specified in the policy.
Why A: The compliance policy specifies a minimum password length of 8 characters, and devices with a password length of 6 characters fail this requirement. In Microsoft Intune, compliance policies evaluate device settings against defined rules, and a password length below the minimum is a common reason for noncompliance. The devices are running Windows 10 22H2 (build 19045.3803), which is within the allowed OS version range, so the issue is specifically the password policy.
