Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Associate SC-200 Practice Question
You manage Windows 10 devices that are onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and enrolled in Intune. Two endpoint security profiles target the same devices. Profile A sets the attack surface reduction rule "Block Office applications from creating child processes" to Audit, whereas Profile B sets the same rule to Block. Both profiles apply successfully. After policy processing, which enforcement mode will the rule use on the devices?
The rule runs in Audit mode on the devices.
The rule alternates between Audit and Block depending on which policy applies last.
The rule runs in Block mode on the devices.
The rule is disabled because the conflicting settings cancel each other.
When multiple Intune policies configure the same ASR rule, Windows applies the most restrictive action. The order of restrictiveness is Block (enabled), then Warn, Audit, and finally Disabled. Because one profile sets the rule to Block and another to Audit, Block is considered more restrictive and therefore wins. The rule will run in Block mode, preventing Office applications from starting child processes. The Audit setting is ignored.
