Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Associate SC-200 Practice Question
You create two Microsoft Defender for Endpoint device groups. FinanceGroup has a rank of 100 and its automation level is set to Full remediation. SensitiveGroup has a rank of 10 and its automation level is set to Semi-automated. A domain-joined workstation meets the membership conditions of both groups and is successfully onboarded. Which automation level will Microsoft Defender for Endpoint enforce on the workstation?
Full remediation, because FinanceGroup has a higher (numerically larger) rank than SensitiveGroup.
Semi-automated, because Microsoft Defender for Endpoint uses the automation level from the group that was created most recently.
Semi-automated, because SensitiveGroup has higher priority due to its lower rank value.
Full remediation, because Microsoft Defender for Endpoint always applies the least restrictive automation level when multiple groups match.
When a device matches more than one Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) device group, the group with the highest priority (that is, the lowest numeric rank value) takes precedence. Because SensitiveGroup has a rank of 10, it outranks FinanceGroup, which has a rank of 100. Therefore, MDE will apply the automation level configured for SensitiveGroup (Semi-automated) to the device. The platform does not choose the most or least restrictive setting, nor does creation time affect precedence-only the rank value determines which group wins.
