✍️ Sample MD-101 Questions & Answers

1. Which Azure AD feature integrates with Intune compliance status to block non-compliant devices from accessing corporate resources?
Conditional Access requiring a compliant device

Conditional Access can require 'device marked as compliant' as a grant control, blocking access to apps until the device meets Intune compliance requirements.

2. What is the difference between 'Mark device non-compliant' immediately vs. with a delay in compliance policy actions?
Immediate marking blocks access right away; delayed marking uses the grace period before CA enforcement

Marking non-compliant immediately triggers Conditional Access enforcement at once, while scheduling it with a delay creates a grace period before access is blocked.

3. Which Intune integration enables security administrators to manage Microsoft Defender for Endpoint settings directly from the Intune admin center?
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint — Intune connector via security settings management

The Microsoft Defender for Endpoint connector in Intune enables MDE security settings management, allowing Intune to push Defender configurations to onboarded devices.

4. Which Windows Autopilot deployment mode allows a technician to pre-provision a device so the end user only needs to complete minimal setup steps?
White glove (pre-provisioning) mode

White glove (pre-provisioning) mode lets a technician complete device-level provisioning before delivering the device to the end user.

5. What is the primary difference between Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) in Intune?
MDM enrolls and manages the entire device; MAM protects corporate data within apps without full device enrollment

MDM requires device enrollment for full device management, while MAM uses App Protection Policies to protect corporate data in apps on unenrolled personal devices.

6. What happens to a device's compliance status if it has been offline and has not checked in with Intune beyond the configured inactivity period?
It is marked Not compliant

Intune marks devices as Not compliant if they exceed the configured 'Days without checking in' threshold, which administrators set in compliance policy settings.
