Endpoint Administrator MD-102 Practice Test 52

Question 510

An organization wants Microsoft Defender Antivirus real-time protection enabled consistently on managed Windows laptops. An endpoint administrator proposes: Assign an Intune endpoint security antivirus policy with the required settings. Which technical explanation most directly supports the proposed action?

  1. A successful antivirus policy assignment guarantees the local protection engine is active even if a competing product disables it.
  2. Antivirus policy centrally manages Defender Antivirus behavior independently of local ad hoc preferences.
  3. A broad antivirus disablement increases exposure while a precise exception can resolve an approved compatibility issue.
  4. An Intune assignment status alone cannot prove the antivirus engine is actively protecting endpoints.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Antivirus policy centrally manages Defender Antivirus behavior independently of local ad hoc preferences. Pilot endpoints report the expected effective real-time protection and policy state.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposition ‘A successful antivirus policy assignment guarantees the local protection engine is active even if a competing product disables it’ is not the reason the selected control works. Antivirus policy centrally manages Defender Antivirus behavior independently of local ad hoc preferences.

C:

A broad antivirus disablement increases exposure while a precise exception can resolve an approved compatibility issue. The controlling technical behavior here is antivirus policy centrally manages Defender Antivirus behavior independently of local ad hoc preferences.

D:

An Intune assignment status alone cannot prove the antivirus engine is actively protecting endpoints. The controlling technical behavior here is antivirus policy centrally manages Defender Antivirus behavior independently of local ad hoc preferences.

Question 511

An organization wants Microsoft Defender Antivirus real-time protection enabled consistently on managed Windows laptops. The approved approach is: Assign an Intune endpoint security antivirus policy with the required settings. Which observable test result best confirms the proposed outcome?

  1. Confirm that endpoint security settings are present in Intune, but do not verify Defender Antivirus real-time protection at the device.
  2. Pilot endpoints report the expected effective real-time protection and policy state.
  3. The approved application runs and unrelated malware test files still trigger detection.
  4. The policy is listed as assigned, but no Windows endpoint has reported effective real-time protection.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Pilot endpoints report the expected effective real-time protection and policy state. Antivirus policy centrally manages Defender Antivirus behavior independently of local ad hoc preferences.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposed observation ‘Confirm that endpoint security settings are present in Intune, but do not verify Defender Antivirus real-time protection at the device’ does not establish the target state. Pilot endpoints report the expected effective real-time protection and policy state.

C:

The approved application runs and unrelated malware test files still trigger detection. The required observation is pilot endpoints report the expected effective real-time protection and policy state.

D:

The proposed observation ‘The policy is listed as assigned, but no Windows endpoint has reported effective real-time protection’ does not establish the target state. Pilot endpoints report the expected effective real-time protection and policy state.

Question 512

An organization wants Microsoft Defender Antivirus real-time protection enabled consistently on managed Windows laptops. After implementing: Assign an Intune endpoint security antivirus policy with the required settings. Which continuing safeguard best prevents this problem from recurring?

  1. Audit exclusion scope and expire obsolete exceptions.
  2. Monitor conflicts with other antivirus management tools and validate exclusions.
  3. Leave broad antivirus exclusions active without tracking detections or reviewing their necessity.
  4. Set alerts on disabled or unhealthy antivirus states.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Monitor conflicts with other antivirus management tools and validate exclusions. Antivirus policy centrally manages Defender Antivirus behavior independently of local ad hoc preferences. Pilot endpoints report the expected effective real-time protection and policy state.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The alternative ‘Audit exclusion scope and expire obsolete exceptions’ is not the continuing control for this configuration. The relevant safeguard is ‘Monitor conflicts with other antivirus management tools and validate exclusions’.

C:

The suggested safeguard ‘Leave broad antivirus exclusions active without tracking detections or reviewing their necessity’ would leave the demonstrated risk unresolved. Monitor conflicts with other antivirus management tools and validate exclusions.

Question 513

A security officer wants to add a narrowly scoped Defender Antivirus exclusion for one validated line-of-business application. Which administrative action most directly meets the stated requirement?

  1. Disable Defender Antivirus real-time protection globally to resolve an isolated compatibility problem.
  2. Deploy the supported Defender for Endpoint onboarding policy to eligible Intune devices.
  3. Assign an Intune endpoint security antivirus policy with the required settings.
  4. Configure a reviewed exclusion through the applicable antivirus policy rather than disabling protection globally.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Configure a reviewed exclusion through the applicable antivirus policy rather than disabling protection globally. A broad antivirus disablement increases exposure while a precise exception can resolve an approved compatibility issue. The approved application runs and unrelated malware test files still trigger detection.
