MD-102 flashcards

MD-102 · Build recall with a focused review session.

32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.

MDM authority
Setting in Intune that determines which service manages enrolled devices; it must be set to Intune before devices can enroll and applies tenant-wide.
Autopilot hardware hash
Unique identifier collected with the Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo script and imported into Intune so a device can be targeted by an Autopilot deployment profile.
Enrollment Status Page
Autopilot screen that shows enrollment progress and can block access to the desktop until assigned apps and policies finish installing.
Apple MDM push certificate
Certificate uploaded to Intune from the Apple Push Certificates Portal; it is required to manage Apple devices and must be renewed yearly with the same Apple ID.
Scope tag
Label applied to Intune objects and to admin accounts; admins see only objects tagged with their scope tags, which limits visibility in large tenants.
Dynamic device group rule
Entra ID membership rule based on device attributes such as deviceOSType or deviceCategory; creating dynamic groups requires Entra ID Premium P1 licenses.
NDES certificate connector
On-premises Intune Certificate Connector with the NDES role that issues SCEP certificates to managed devices from an enterprise certification authority.
OMA-URI custom profile
Configuration profile that sets a Windows policy not exposed in the Intune UI, identified by a path such as ./Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config.
Compliance policy actions
Ordered list of actions, such as sending email or remotely locking a device, that Intune runs after a device is marked noncompliant.
Update ring deferral
Number of days a Windows update ring waits before offering quality or feature updates to the devices assigned to it.
Retire versus wipe
Retire removes company data and management while leaving personal files intact; wipe resets the device to factory settings and removes everything.
Autopilot Reset
Remote action that removes user files, apps, and policies and returns the device to the out-of-box experience while keeping it Entra joined and Autopilot registered.
Device filter
Query on device properties, such as OS version or manufacturer, that scopes a policy or app assignment without creating additional Entra ID groups.
Configuration profile conflict
State reported when two policies assign different values to the same setting; Intune stops applying that setting until the conflict is resolved.
Attack surface reduction rules
Defender settings that block, audit, or warn on behaviors such as Office apps spawning child processes or code stealing credentials from lsass.exe.
BitLocker recovery key escrow
Storing BitLocker recovery keys in Entra ID or Intune; silent encryption on Entra joined devices requires the escrow step to succeed.
Security baseline
Preconfigured collection of Microsoft-recommended security settings deployed as a profile, where each setting can stay at default or be customized.
Defender for Endpoint onboarding
Connecting Intune to Defender for Endpoint with the service-to-service connector, then deploying the onboarding configuration to devices so they report risk.
MAM without enrollment
App protection policies tied to a user identity that protect corporate data in managed apps on devices that are not enrolled in MDM.
Windows LAPS
Feature that manages and rotates local administrator passwords and backs them up to Entra ID or Active Directory so admins can retrieve them.
Intunewin package
Encrypted package produced by the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool that wraps an app's installer and source files for upload to Intune.
Win32 detection rule
Rule that tells Intune an app is installed, using an MSI product code, a file or folder, a registry key, or a custom PowerShell script.
App supersedence
Relationship in which a newer app replaces an older one, with the option to uninstall the previous version before the new one installs.
App dependency
Relationship that makes another app install first; Intune installs dependencies in order before attempting the dependent app.
App protection conditional launch
Requirements such as a minimum OS version or a non-jailbroken device that must be met before a managed app grants access to corporate data.
App configuration policy
Policy that supplies settings such as server URLs or app behavior to a managed application without managing the whole device.
Endpoint analytics score
Intune score built from startup performance, app reliability, and work-from-anywhere metrics collected from enrolled Windows devices.
Proactive remediation
Feature that pairs a detection script with a remediation script, runs them on a schedule, and reports the outcome to Intune.
Platform script
PowerShell script Intune sends to Windows devices; it runs once by default and can use 64-bit PowerShell or require signature checks.
Intune Data Warehouse
OData reporting service that stores Intune inventory, compliance, and app data so it can be queried with Power BI or custom tools.
Collect diagnostics
Remote action that gathers Windows logs and telemetry from a device and uploads them to Intune for troubleshooting.
Windows Update for Business reports
Reports built on Log Analytics that show Windows update compliance and deployment status from devices sending diagnostic data to Microsoft.
