- A
Use Windows Autopilot to configure devices and then apply a device restriction policy.
Why wrong: Incorrect: Autopilot is for Windows devices only and does not address loss/theft scenario.
- B
Implement a Conditional Access policy requiring multi-factor authentication and trusted locations.
Why wrong: Incorrect: This does not enforce PIN or allow wipe.
- C
Enroll devices in Microsoft Intune MDM, create a device compliance policy requiring PIN, and configure a Conditional Access policy to allow only compliant devices.
Correct: MDM enrollment enables compliance policies and remote wipe of corporate data.
- D
Use Microsoft Intune app protection policies (MAM) without device enrollment, requiring PIN for managed apps.
Why wrong: Incorrect: MAM does not allow selective wipe of all corporate data on the device, only app-level wipe.
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. 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 wants to allow employees to use their personal mobile devices to access corporate resources, but you need to ensure that corporate data is protected if the device is lost or stolen. You also need to enforce a PIN policy on the device. Which combination of Microsoft Entra and Microsoft Intune features should you use?
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
Enroll devices in Microsoft Intune MDM, create a device compliance policy requiring PIN, and configure a Conditional Access policy to allow only compliant devices.
Option A is correct because MDM enrollment with compliance policies enforces PIN and allows selective wipe of corporate data. Option B is wrong because MAM without enrollment can enforce PIN but selective wipe is limited. Option C is wrong because Conditional Access alone does not enforce device policies. Option D is wrong because Autopilot is for provisioning, not protection.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.

Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: MAM does not allow selective wipe of all corporate data on the device, only app-level wipe.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Trap categories for this question
Scenario analysis trap
Incorrect: Autopilot is for Windows devices only and does not address loss/theft scenario.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
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.
What to study next
Got this wrong? Here's your next step.
Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related SC-900 NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.
