- A
Set enrollment device platform restrictions to block personally owned devices, and create a compliance policy to mark personal devices as noncompliant.
Enrollment restrictions prevent personal devices from enrolling, and compliance policies enforce the corporate ownership requirement.
- B
Configure enrollment restrictions to block all devices from enrolling.
Why wrong: Blocking all devices prevents both corporate and personal devices from enrolling.
- C
Configure a compliance policy that requires devices to be corporate-owned.
Why wrong: Compliance policies cannot change ownership; they can only mark devices as noncompliant.
- D
Create a conditional access policy that requires devices to be marked as compliant.
Why wrong: Conditional access works after enrollment but does not prevent personal devices from enrolling.
MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of prepare infrastructure for devices. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage devices. You need to ensure that only corporate-owned devices can access company resources, while allowing users to enroll personal devices for limited access. You plan to use enrollment restrictions and compliance policies. What should you configure?
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
Set enrollment device platform restrictions to block personally owned devices, and create a compliance policy to mark personal devices as noncompliant.
Option A is correct because enrollment device platform restrictions can block personally owned devices from enrolling, while a compliance policy can mark personal devices that do enroll as noncompliant. This combination ensures corporate-owned devices get full access, and personal devices are either blocked or flagged for limited access via conditional access policies.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse compliance policies with enrollment restrictions, thinking a compliance policy alone can block enrollment, when in fact compliance policies only evaluate devices after they are enrolled and cannot prevent enrollment itself.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Enrollment restrictions in Intune use device platform and OS version rules to block or allow enrollment based on ownership type (corporate vs. personal). Compliance policies evaluate device attributes like ownership, encryption, and jailbreak status; when combined with conditional access, noncompliant devices can be blocked from accessing cloud apps. A common real-world scenario is using a device compliance policy with the 'Mark device noncompliant' action for personal devices, then pairing it with a conditional access policy that grants access only to compliant devices, effectively limiting personal device access.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
