MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. Get-MgDeviceManagementManagedDevice -DeviceId "12345" | Select-Object -Property DeviceName, OperatingSystem, ComplianceState, LastSyncDateTime DeviceName : DESKTOP-ABC OperatingSystem : Windows ComplianceState : noncompliant LastSyncDateTime : 2026-01-15T10:30:00Z
You run the PowerShell command shown in the exhibit for a managed device. The device shows as noncompliant. Which action should you take first to resolve the noncompliance?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently assume noncompliance means a policy misconfiguration or enrollment failure, rather than recognizing that the device simply hasn't reported its latest compliance evaluation, making a sync the correct first action.
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
✓
Trigger a sync from Intune to force the device to check in.
The PowerShell command shown likely runs a compliance evaluation or sync action, but the device remains noncompliant because the evaluation results haven't been reported back to Intune. Triggering a sync from Intune forces the device to check in, upload its latest compliance status, and update the portal, which is the first troubleshooting step before considering re-enrollment or policy changes.
