Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator Associate MD-102 Practice Question
You manage Windows 11 corporate laptops with Microsoft Intune. You create a compliance policy that requires the device risk level reported by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) to be Medium or lower. After several days, the policy shows a status of Not applicable for every device. To ensure the risk data is sent from MDE to Intune, which configuration must you enable in Intune first?
Deploy a Windows attack surface reduction policy that enables Network protection.
Turn on the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint connector in Intune and set Connect Windows devices (Windows 10/11) to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to On.
Enable the Managed Installer setting in the Intune security baseline for Microsoft Edge.
Enable the Endpoint analytics connection under Tenant administration.
Intune can only evaluate the Defender for Endpoint device risk level after the two services are connected. Enabling the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint connector and turning on the setting that connects Windows 10/11 devices establishes the data flow of threat and risk information from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to Intune. Without that connector, any compliance setting that relies on MDE signals is ignored and the policy is marked Not applicable.
Endpoint analytics, security baselines such as Managed Installer, or attack surface reduction policies do not create the required service-to-service connection, so they do not make MDE risk data available for compliance evaluation.
