MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Your organization is implementing a zero-trust security model using Microsoft Intune. Devices must be compliant before accessing corporate resources. You need to deploy compliance policies for Windows 10 devices that require BitLocker encryption and a minimum OS version. Which two policy settings should you configure? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse 'Require encryption of data storage on device' with 'Require device health attestation,' mistakenly thinking health attestation covers encryption, when in fact health attestation focuses on boot integrity and does not enforce BitLocker status.
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
✓
Minimum OS version.
The 'Minimum OS version' setting in a Windows 10 compliance policy ensures that devices must be running at least a specified build number (e.g., 10.0.19041 for Windows 10 20H1). This directly enforces the zero-trust requirement that only devices with a supported, up-to-date OS can access corporate resources, reducing exposure to known vulnerabilities. Option D is correct because the 'Require encryption of data storage on device' setting mandates BitLocker encryption on the system drive, which is a core data protection control in a zero-trust model.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Minimum OS version.
Why this is correct
This setting ensures the device meets the minimum OS version requirement.
- ✗
Require device health attestation.
Why it's wrong here
Health attestation verifies boot integrity, not specifically BitLocker or OS version.
- ✗
Require firewall (Windows Defender Firewall).
Why it's wrong here
Firewall compliance is a separate requirement not mentioned in the scenario.
- ✓
Require encryption of data storage on device.
Why this is correct
This setting enforces BitLocker compliance.
- ✗
Maximum OS version.
Why it's wrong here
Maximum OS version is not required; only minimum is needed.
