MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows devices. You need to ensure that only users in the Sales department can enroll their devices. What should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
MD-102 often tests the distinction between enrollment restrictions (who/what can enroll) and Conditional Access or compliance policies (what enrolled devices can access), so candidates mistakenly pick a CA policy for an enrollment-scoping requirement.
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
✓
Enrollment restrictions that allow only users in the Sales group.
Enrollment restrictions in Intune let you control which users or groups are allowed to enroll devices, so restricting enrollment to the Sales group directly satisfies the requirement. This is the purpose-built control for limiting enrollment by user or group, platform, or device type.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
An Intune role-based access control (RBAC) role for Sales users.
Why it's wrong here
Intune RBAC roles govern administrative permissions over the tenant, not end-user enrolment eligibility. It is tempting because RBAC scoping does target specific groups, making it correct when the requirement is delegating helpdesk or policy-authoring rights to a subset of IT administrators rather than limiting enrolment.
- ✗
A device configuration profile assigned to Sales users.
Why it's wrong here
A device configuration profile delivers settings to already-enrolled devices; it cannot restrict which users are permitted to enrol. It is tempting because configuration profiles are assigned to Entra groups, making them correct when the requirement is applying settings such as encryption or firewall rules to Sales devices.
- ✗
A Conditional Access policy that requires device compliance.
Why it's wrong here
Conditional Access requiring device compliance governs access to resources after enrolment, not who may enrol. It is tempting because Conditional Access does control sign-in for specific user groups, making it correct when the requirement is restricting access to Microsoft 365 apps rather than limiting Intune enrolment itself.
- ✓
Enrollment restrictions that allow only users in the Sales group.
Why this is correct
Enrollment restrictions in Intune can target specific Microsoft Entra ID groups, so scoping the restriction to the Sales group blocks all other users from enrolling. This directly satisfies the constraint that only Sales department users may enrol devices, without affecting existing enrolled devices.
