MD-102 Windows Update Rings Practice Question
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune for Windows device management. Users report that after a recent update, the company VPN client fails to start. You suspect a driver conflict. Which Intune feature should you use to roll back the problematic driver without affecting other updates?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates mistakenly believe that Windows Update Rings is the only place to manage driver updates. However, Intune provides a dedicated Windows Driver Update Rings policy that offers more granular control, including the ability to roll back specific driver updates.
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
✓
Windows Driver Update Rings
Windows Driver Update Rings (D) is the correct feature. This Intune policy type allows you to manage driver updates separately from quality updates. You can decline a problematic driver update that has already been installed, which will trigger the device to uninstall it and revert to the previous driver version. This provides granular rollback without affecting other updates. Option A (Windows Update Rings) manages all Windows updates but does not directly support rolling back a driver that is already installed. Option B (Group Policy Administrative Templates) is for device configuration, not driver rollback. Option C (Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center) manages Office apps. Option D is the appropriate tool for this scenario.
