Question 330
A finance laptop has BitLocker active but the end user sees a recovery prompt after a firmware change. Which measured outcome best validates the remediation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the acceptance evidence for this specific situation: The device restarts normally with its protected drive after authorized recovery. It would confirm that the intended intervention, 'Validate platform security/TPM state and recover using approved key escrow before altering encryption policy.', addressed the problem because firmware and TPM changes can affect boot trust and recovery without indicating absent encryption.
Incorrect Answers
This observation would validate a different case: A finance workstation must prevent unsolicited inbound file sharing even when a user changes Wi-Fi networks. It would check 'Unauthorized inbound file sharing is denied on public and private networks.' after 'Deploy a Windows Defender Firewall policy for the applicable network profiles.'. It does not establish success for the stated scenario; the needed evidence is 'The device restarts normally with its protected drive after authorized recovery.'.
This observation would validate a different case: Several managed Windows PCs have Intune profiles but do not appear as onboarded devices in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. It would check 'The pilot appears active in Defender with expected device telemetry.' after 'Deploy supported Defender for Endpoint onboarding configuration to the targeted devices.'. It does not establish success for the stated scenario; the needed evidence is 'The device restarts normally with its protected drive after authorized recovery.'.
This observation would validate a different case: A company's endpoints are enrolled in Intune but Defender XDR shows duplicate security device entries after rebuilding laptops. It would check 'Only the active security record is used for triage after stale-record verification.' after 'Correlate Defender device identity, Entra identity and Intune managed device records during cleanup.'. It does not establish success for the stated scenario; the needed evidence is 'The device restarts normally with its protected drive after authorized recovery.'.
