Question 390
A company combines Intune antivirus settings and security baseline policies with incompatible scan schedules. Which design or configuration change meets the requirement with the least unrelated impact?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the most targeted action: Review assignment conflicts and configure one authoritative antivirus policy for the impacted setting. The technical distinction is that duplicate management intent can create inconsistent endpoint protection. Confirm the change by checking: Security reports show one applied scan schedule and no unresolved conflicts.
Incorrect Answers
This action is appropriate for a different case: An organization wants automatic BitLocker device encryption during provisioning but users become local administrators without escrow verification. There, the targeted fix is 'Configure managed encryption and recovery key backup with supported ownership and user privilege settings.' because BitLocker policy needs coordinated provisioning and secure recovery. The current scenario instead requires 'Review assignment conflicts and configure one authoritative antivirus policy for the impacted setting.' and verification that security reports show one applied scan schedule and no unresolved conflicts.
This action is appropriate for a different case: Windows Firewall is disabled locally by a privileged user each time the computer boots despite managed policy. There, the targeted fix is 'Investigate effective endpoint security policy and tamper-protection or configuration drift.' because a recurring local override may signal policy conflict or unauthorized changes. The current scenario instead requires 'Review assignment conflicts and configure one authoritative antivirus policy for the impacted setting.' and verification that security reports show one applied scan schedule and no unresolved conflicts.
This action is appropriate for a different case: A fleet must enforce BitLocker encryption and escrow recovery keys in Microsoft Entra ID for help desk recovery. There, the targeted fix is 'Create an Intune disk encryption policy with appropriate escrow and recovery settings.' because encryption management must preserve recovery information for authorized administrators. The current scenario instead requires 'Review assignment conflicts and configure one authoritative antivirus policy for the impacted setting.' and verification that security reports show one applied scan schedule and no unresolved conflicts.
