SC-900 Describe the capabilities of Microsoft Entra Practice Question

This SC-900 practice question tests your understanding of describe the capabilities of microsoft entra. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. 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.

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.
```json
{
  "conditions": {

  },
  "grantControls": {
    "builtInControls": ["compliantDevice", "domainJoined"],
    "operator": "OR"
  }
}
```

Refer to the exhibit. A user accesses a web app from a device that is Microsoft Entra joined but not Intune compliant. Which condition will be satisfied?

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

✓

Neither condition

The device is Microsoft Entra joined, which satisfies the 'Domain joined' condition for Conditional Access, but it is not Intune compliant, so the 'Compliant device' condition is not met. Since the question asks which condition will be satisfied, and the device only meets one of the two, the correct answer is 'Neither condition' because the user is accessing a web app and the conditions are evaluated together as a single requirement (e.g., requiring both domain join and compliance). In Conditional Access, if a policy requires both conditions, the device must satisfy both to be granted access; here, it fails the compliance check, so neither condition is fully satisfied for the policy's intent.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Domain joined

    Why it's wrong here

    Microsoft Entra join is not domain joined.

    Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

  • ✗

    Compliant device

    Why it's wrong here

    The device is not compliant.

  • ✗

    Both conditions

    Why it's wrong here

    Only one is needed, but neither is satisfied.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

The trap here is that candidates assume 'Domain joined' is satisfied because the device is Entra joined, but they overlook that the question implies both conditions are required, so neither is fully satisfied in the context of the policy evaluation.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

Under the hood, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) evaluates Conditional Access policies by checking device state attributes like 'isCompliant' and 'isDomainJoined' from the device registration. When a device is Entra joined but not Intune compliant, the 'isCompliant' attribute is false, causing the policy to deny access if compliance is required. In a real-world scenario, an organization might configure a Conditional Access policy to require both 'Domain joined' and 'Compliant device' for accessing sensitive web apps, ensuring the device is both managed and healthy.

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.
