Exam MD-102 topic 1 question 93 discussion

Why? This policy enables Endpoint analytics, which collects and shows startup performance and other device health metrics in the Intune admin center. It’s the required setting to view startup times for managed Windows 11 devices. ❌ Why Not the Others? A. Azure Monitor agent ➤ Used for log collection and Azure Monitor, not for Endpoint analytics in Intune. B. Device compliance policy ➤ Used to assess device health and enforce access rules, not for performance data. C. Conditional Access policy ➤ Controls access to apps and services based on conditions, unrelated to performance data.

D. an Intune data collection policy An Intune data collection policy allows you to collect performance and diagnostic data from managed devices. This includes data related to startup performance, which can then be reviewed in the Intune admin center. Here's why the other options are not suitable for this task: A. the Azure Monitor agent: While the Azure Monitor agent can capture various performance metrics and logs, it is not directly managed through Intune and is more commonly used in Azure environments for broader monitoring and diagnostics. B. a device compliance policy: Compliance policies are used to ensure devices meet specific security and configuration requirements. They do not capture performance metrics. C. a Conditional Access policy: Conditional Access policies control access to resources based on certain conditions but do not handle performance data collection.

currently is called windows health monitoring policy -> endpoint analytics

From Microsoft's own Copilot - The Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) can collect a wide range of data from the guest operating system of Azure and hybrid virtual machines, including performance data1. However, it doesn’t directly monitor or display the startup performance of a device21.

D is correct. Keyword to look for: "for review in the Intune admin center".

D. an Intune data collection policy. Here's why: Azure Monitor agent: While this agent collects performance data, it focuses on Azure resources, not individual devices managed by Intune. Device compliance policy: These policies focus on ensuring devices meet security and configuration requirements, not collecting specific data like startup performance. Conditional Access policy: These policies determine user access to resources, not data collection on devices. Intune data collection policy: This is the specifically designed option for capturing various data points from managed devices, including startup performance metrics. You can configure this policy to collect boot and sign-in times, application launch times, and overall device health data. Therefore, to capture and review startup performance of managed Windows 11 devices in the Intune admin center, you need to configure an Intune data collection policy.

D. an Intune data collection policy. Similar to how Log Analytics Workspaces work, you need a data collection rule/policy to forward data from the source (Windows 11 devices) to a datastore (aka database or workspace).

Answer is D: This is how you do it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/configuration/windows-health-monitoring

Option : A

Given answer isn't correct. The azure monitoring agent can be used to collect Windows event logs for example. Answer is D. REF: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/analytics/data-collection

To ensure that the startup performance of managed Windows 11 devices is captured and available for review in the Intune admin center, you should configure an Intune data collection policy.
