MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Your organization has a mix of Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices managed by Intune. You need to enforce BitLocker encryption on all devices. Which policy type should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse a compliance policy (which only reports and remediates non-compliance) with a configuration profile (which actually enforces the BitLocker encryption settings), leading them to select Option C.
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
✓
Endpoint Protection profile in Device restrictions.
The correct policy type is an Endpoint Protection profile within Device restrictions, because BitLocker settings for Windows 10/11 devices managed by Intune are configured under the 'Windows Encryption' category of an Endpoint Protection profile. This profile directly controls BitLocker drive encryption, including encryption method, recovery key management, and silent encryption enforcement, which is required for the scenario.
