MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
You manage Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices with Microsoft Intune. You need to configure a compliance policy that marks devices as noncompliant if they do not have a specific minimum OS version and if they have not checked in with Intune within the last 7 days. Which TWO settings should you configure in the compliance policy? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is selecting security-related settings like encryption or antivirus, which are important but not the ones needed for OS version and check-in recency.
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
✓
Last check-in time
The compliance policy settings for Minimum OS version and Last check-in time directly enforce the two requirements. Minimum OS version ensures devices meet the specified build, while Last check-in time flags devices that have not communicated with Intune within 7 days. Together, they define the compliance state as required.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Last check-in time
Why this is correct
The Last check-in time setting marks devices as noncompliant if they have not communicated with Intune within a specified number of days. Configuring this to 7 days ensures devices that have not checked in recently are flagged. This directly meets the requirement for check-in recency.
- ✗
Encryption of data storage on device
Why it's wrong here
This setting requires BitLocker encryption on Windows devices. While important for security, it does not enforce a minimum OS version or check-in timeframe. The scenario does not mention encryption requirements, so this setting is not relevant to the stated compliance conditions.
- ✗
Device health attestation
Why it's wrong here
Device health attestation checks whether devices meet security standards like Secure Boot, BitLocker, and code integrity. It does not evaluate OS version or last check-in time. While valuable for security, it does not satisfy the specific requirements of minimum OS version and check-in recency.
- ✓
Minimum OS version
Why this is correct
The Minimum OS version setting allows you to specify the required OS build for Windows devices. Devices with an older version will be marked noncompliant. This directly addresses the requirement to enforce a specific minimum OS version, ensuring only devices with the correct build are considered compliant.
- ✗
Antivirus and antispyware status
Why it's wrong here
This setting checks whether antivirus and antispyware are enabled and up to date. It does not verify OS version or last check-in time. Although it is a common compliance requirement, it does not align with the two specific conditions required in this scenario.
