The correct answer is that the script must be signed with a trusted certificate and assigned to the user scope. During Intune enrollment, when deploying a PowerShell script in user context, the script must be signed if the device’s execution policy requires it, and it must be assigned to users rather than devices because user context execution relies on the user’s security token. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of Intune’s script deployment constraints, often trapping candidates who confuse user context with device context or assume scripts can be added via OMA-URI. A common memory tip is “User context = User assignment; Signed script = Execution policy.” Remember that only .ps1 files are supported, not .psm1 modules, and scripts are uploaded directly to Intune, not configured through custom OMA-URI policies.
MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of protect devices. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. 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 Windows devices. You need to deploy a PowerShell script that runs in the user context during device enrollment. Which two conditions must be met? (Select TWO.)
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The script must be assigned to the user scope.
Options A and D are correct. The script must be signed if the execution policy requires it, and the script must be assigned to the user scope. Option B is wrong because scripts can be .ps1, not .psm1. Option C is wrong because scripts are not added via OMA-URI. Option E is wrong because scripts need to be assigned to users, not devices, for user context.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

TExam Day Tips
→Underline the problem statement mentally.
→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 cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
