MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question
Your company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 10 devices. You have a compliance policy that requires devices to have a minimum of 4GB RAM and 64GB disk space. Several devices are marked non-compliant due to disk space. You check the devices and find they have 60GB free. The compliance policy checks total disk capacity, not free space. You need to allow these devices to be compliant. What should you do?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse 'free disk space' with 'total disk capacity,' assuming the policy can be changed to check free space, but Intune's built-in compliance policies only evaluate total capacity.
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
✓
Modify the compliance policy to require a minimum of 60GB disk capacity.
The compliance policy in Microsoft Intune checks total disk capacity, not free space. By lowering the minimum required total disk capacity to 60GB, devices with 60GB total disk space will meet the policy requirement and become compliant, without needing hardware changes or scripts.
