What might be the reason why users are not prompted for a password after a profile is deployed in Intune?

  1. There is a conflict with a local group policy on the devices.

  2. The password policy is set to optional in the configuration profile.

  3. Users are not aware of the password requirements.

  4. The devices are not enrolled properly in Intune.

The correct answer is: There is a conflict with a local group policy on the devices.

The situation where users are not prompted for a password after a profile is deployed in Intune can indeed be influenced by a local group policy conflict. When devices are subjected to local group policies that dictate password settings, these policies can override the configurations set in Intune. For instance, if a local policy allows for the absence of a password or specifies certain criteria that conflict with the Intune profile parameters, users may not receive any password prompts even after the profile has been deployed. This highlights the importance of ensuring that Intune-managed devices are not only properly configured through Intune but also that local policies do not interfere with those configurations. It's critical for administrators to regularly review and manage local policies, especially in environments where devices are located in hybrid configurations (such as being part of both local Active Directory and Azure Active Directory) to ensure consistency and compliance with organizational security standards. While the other scenarios could potentially lead to similar outcomes, they do not directly address the conflict that can arise due to local group policies overriding the settings from Intune. For instance, if the password policy were set to optional in the configuration profile, that might inherently lead to the absence of prompts, but it doesn't explain the aspect of device interaction with local policies. Similarly, user
