MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage iOS devices. You need to ensure that corporate data on these devices is automatically removed when a user is unenrolled from Intune. Which action should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse selective wipe with full wipe, assuming that any data removal requires a complete device reset, but the exam tests the specific Intune behavior where selective wipe is the correct method for removing only corporate data upon unenrollment.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure a selective wipe policy.
A selective wipe policy in Microsoft Intune removes only corporate data from an iOS device while leaving personal data intact. When a user is unenrolled from Intune, the selective wipe targets managed apps and their associated data, ensuring that company information is automatically removed without affecting the user's personal content.
