MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question
Your company uses Microsoft Intune for device management. You need to configure a Windows 10 device restriction policy that blocks the use of the camera and microphone on all devices. Which settings should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse 'Camera and Microphone' with broader categories like 'Bluetooth' or 'Location', assuming those peripherals are grouped under connectivity or privacy settings, when in fact they are explicitly listed under device restrictions in Intune.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Camera and Microphone
To block the camera and microphone on Windows 10 devices managed by Microsoft Intune, you configure the 'Camera' and 'Microphone' settings within a device restrictions policy (under the 'General' category). These settings directly disable the corresponding hardware devices at the OS level by modifying the relevant registry keys (e.g., HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Camera\AllowCamera and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Sound\AllowMicrophone). This ensures that no application can access the camera or microphone, meeting the compliance requirement.
