Manage, maintain, and protect devices →mediumMultiple ChoiceObjective-mapped

Quick Answer

The answer is requireCodeIntegrity. This setting is causing the non-compliance because the Intune compliance policy explicitly requires Code Integrity to be enabled, yet the device has it disabled, while the other conditions—OS version 10.0.19042.0, BitLocker, and Secure Boot—are all satisfied. In Intune, each compliance policy setting is evaluated independently, so a failure on requireCodeIntegrity alone triggers the overall non-compliant status, regardless of other compliant settings. For the MD-102 exam, this tests your understanding of how Windows 10 device health attestation settings are individually enforced; a common trap is assuming that Secure Boot or BitLocker alone covers Code Integrity. Remember the mnemonic “C-I-S” for the three key attestation checks: Code Integrity, Integrity (Secure Boot), and System (BitLocker)—if any one is missing, the device fails.

MD-102 Manage, maintain, and protect devices Practice Question

This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of manage, maintain, and protect devices. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. 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.

      "windows": {
        "minimumOsVersion": "10.0.19041.0",

        "requireSecureBoot": true,
        "requireCodeIntegrity": true
      }
    }
  }
}
```

You have the following JSON compliance policy for Windows 10 devices in Intune. A device with OS version 10.0.19042.0, build 19042, with BitLocker enabled, Secure Boot enabled, but Code Integrity disabled reports as non-compliant. Which setting is causing the 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

✓

requireCodeIntegrity

The device reports as non-compliant because the compliance policy requires `requireCodeIntegrity` to be enabled, but the device has Code Integrity disabled. Even though BitLocker and Secure Boot are enabled, and the OS version meets the minimum requirement, the absence of Code Integrity enforcement triggers non-compliance. In Intune, Windows 10 compliance policies evaluate each setting independently, and a failure on any required setting results in overall non-compliance.

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.

  • ✓

    requireCodeIntegrity

    Why this is correct

    Code Integrity is disabled, causing non-compliance.

    Related concept

    Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

  • ✗

    minimumOsVersion

    Why it's wrong here

    The OS version 10.0.19042.0 is above the minimum.

  • ✗

    requireSecureBoot

    Why it's wrong here

    Secure Boot is enabled.

  • ✗

    requireDeviceEncryption

    Why it's wrong here

    BitLocker is enabled, so this is compliant.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

The trap here is that candidates often assume Secure Boot or BitLocker alone satisfy all security requirements, but Intune's `requireCodeIntegrity` is a separate, independent check that specifically enforces runtime code validation, and failing to enable it causes non-compliance even when other security features are active.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

Code Integrity (also known as Windows Defender Application Control or Device Guard) uses a kernel-mode policy to enforce that only trusted executables, scripts, and drivers can run. In Intune compliance policies, `requireCodeIntegrity` checks the `DeviceGuard` status via the `Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceGuard` WMI class; if the `CodeIntegrity` property is not 2 (enforced), the device is non-compliant. A real-world scenario is a security-conscious organization that requires both Secure Boot and Code Integrity to prevent bootkits and unauthorized code execution, but a device with only Secure Boot enabled remains vulnerable to runtime attacks.

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 cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
