Managing Modern Desktops (legacy) — Question 91

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains 500 macOS devices enrolled in Microsoft Intune.
You need to ensure that you can apply Microsoft Defender for Endpoint antivirus policies to the macOS devices. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, create a configuration profile.
• B. From the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center, create a security baseline.
• C. Onboard the macOS devices to the Microsoft 365 compliance center.
• D. Install Defender for Endpoint on the macOS devices.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Creating a configuration profile in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center allows for efficient management and application of policies to multiple devices, thus minimizing administrative effort. In contrast, creating a security baseline is more general and not specifically tailored for deploying antivirus policies. Onboarding devices to the compliance center does not directly apply the antivirus policies, and installing Defender for Endpoint on each device would be more labor-intensive compared to using configuration profiles.
