Microsoft 365 Certified Endpoint Administrator (MD-102) Practice Test

To enforce a password policy that includes at least 8 characters and various character types, which settings should be configured in the device compliance policy in Intune?

1. Minimum password length and password type

2. Device encryption and password expiration

3. Device health and device encryption

4. Device health and minimum password length

The correct answer is: Minimum password length and password type

Configuring a password policy to enforce specific requirements such as a minimum length of 8 characters and various character types necessitates adjustments in Intune's device compliance policy. The correct settings to achieve this include specifying both the minimum password length and the password type. The minimum password length setting ensures that all passwords meet a baseline criterion, directly addressing the requirement of having at least 8 characters. Meanwhile, defining the password type allows you to enforce policies regarding complexity, such as requiring a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Together, these settings create a robust password policy that enhances security. Other options provided focus on different aspects of device compliance. Settings like device encryption and password expiration relate to securing data and managing how often passwords need to be changed, which are important but do not specifically address the user's requirement for password length and complexity. Likewise, device health does not pertain to password policies but rather ensures that devices meet certain operational standards to access corporate resources. Thus, those alternatives do not align with the goal of enforcing a precise password policy.
