NEW QUESTION # 92
Which feature allows IT administrators to manage security settings on a device?

  • A. iCloud
  • B. Configuration profiles
  • C. Find My
  • D. MDM

Answer: B

Explanation:
Configuration profiles allow IT administrators to manage security settings on a device, such as enforcing encryption, restricting untrusted certificates, or enabling firewalls (on macOS). These profiles are deployed via MDM or manually, ensuring compliance with security policies. Find My (option B) and iCloud (option C) are user-focused features unrelated to security management. MDM (option D) delivers profiles, but the profiles define the settings. TheApple Platform Deployment Guidedetails security configuration via profiles.
Reference:Apple Platform Deployment Guide(Chapter: Configuration Profiles).


NEW QUESTION # 93
What feature can you use to protect a lost or stolen iPad device?

  • A. Managed Find My
  • B. FileVault Lock
  • C. Managed Lost Mode
  • D. Recovery Lock

Answer: C

Explanation:
For iPads under organizational control, the correct feature to protect a lost or stolen device isManaged Lost Mode. Apple Learning specifies that when Managed Lost Mode is activated via MDM, the iPad is immediately locked and displays a custom message defined by IT, such as contact details for return.
Importantly, Lost Mode does not require the user to have enabled Find My; MDM can enable location tracking temporarily to assist recovery. FileVault is a macOS-only disk encryption feature, not available on iPad. Recovery Lock is designed for Apple silicon Macs to protect Recovery mode, not iPad. "Managed Find My" is not an Apple feature. Thus, the documented method for iPad protection under enterprise control isManaged Lost Mode.
References:Apple Platform Deployment - "Lost Mode for supervised iPhone and iPad."

These profiles are deployed via MDM or manually, aligning with organizational policies. Find My (option B) and iCloud (option C) are unrelated to Screen Time management. MDM (option D) delivers profiles, but the profiles define the settings. TheApple Platform Deployment Guidedetails Screen Time configuration via profiles.
Reference:Apple Platform Deployment Guide(Chapter: Configuration Profiles).


NEW QUESTION # 97
What must a user have to be able to upgrade macOS on their iMac?

  • A. Local administrator rights
  • B. An MDM bootstrap token
  • C. A Managed Apple Account
  • D. Volume ownership

Answer: D

Explanation:
Upgrading macOS requires volume ownership, tied to an admin account with permissions to modify the system volume. The macOS Deployment Reference states, "To install or upgrade macOS, the user must have volume ownership, which allows the system to authenticate the operation against the secure volume." Option B is for MDM updates, C is insufficient alone in newer macOS versions, and D is for content, not upgrades.
Reference:
macOS Deployment Reference, "Software Updates" section.
Apple Platform Security Guide, "System Volume Protections" section.

  • A. Existing eSIM
  • B. User data and settings
  • C. Device passcode
  • D. Installed apps

Answer: A

Explanation:
Preserving eSIM speeds redeployment. The Mobile Device Management Protocol Reference states, "When erasing a supervised iPad, the preserveDataPlan option retains the existing eSIM, avoiding reactivation delays." Reference:
Mobile Device Management Protocol Reference, "EraseDevice Command" section.
iOS Deployment Reference, "eSIM Preservation" section.


NEW QUESTION # 99
What's required to use content caching on a Mac?

  • A. Supervision
  • B. A VPN configuration
  • C. An MDM solution
  • D. macOS 10.13 or later

Answer: D

Explanation:
Content caching requires a Mac running macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) or later, enabling it to cache content like app updates and iCloud data for network efficiency. An MDM solution (option A) can manage caching settings but isn't required to enable it. Supervision (option C) is unrelated, as caching is a macOS feature, not a supervision requirement. A VPN configuration (option D) doesn't apply. The Apple Platform Deployment Guide specifies the macOS version requirement for content caching.


NEW QUESTION # 100
A user signed in to their iPhone with their personal Apple Account in Settings. Then they enrolled the same iPhone using their Managed Apple Account. iCloud is enabled in the organization and the user turned on iCloud Drive. Which of these could be a result? Choose the best answer.

  • A. Personal iCloud Drive data is merged with organization data
  • B. An additional iCloud Drive appears in Files
  • C. The user is prompted to keep personal iCloud Drive data or remove it from iPhone
  • D. The personal iCloud Drive is unavailable until the device is unenrolled

Answer: B

Explanation:
With User Enrollment, personal and managed iCloud Drives coexist separately. The iOS Deployment Reference explains, "When a device is enrolled with a Managed Apple ID via User Enrollment and iCloud Drive is enabled, an additional iCloud Drive appears in the Files app, separating personal data (linked to the personal Apple ID) from managed data (linked to the Managed Apple ID)." Option B is incorrect as data doesn't merge, C is false as personal data remains accessible, and D doesn't occur during this process.
Reference:
iOS Deployment Reference, "User Enrollment and iCloud" section.
Apple Platform Deployment Guide, "Data Separation with iCloud" section.


NEW QUESTION # 101
In which type of enrollment and ownership model can users personalize apps and data on their managed devices?

  • A. Nonpersonalized, organization-owned
  • B. Personally enabled, organization-owned
  • C. BYOD, organization-owned

Answer: B

Explanation:
The personally enabled, organization-owned model allows organizations to assign devices to individual users while permitting those users to personalize their devices with personal apps and data. This model balances organizational control with user flexibility, often used in one-to-one deployments. BYOD, organization-owned (option A) is a contradictory term; BYOD implies user-owned devices, not organization-owned. Nonpersonalized, organization-owned (option B) devices are typically locked down for shared or specific use, with no personalization allowed. The Apple Platform Deployment Guide describes the personally enabled model as supporting user customization under MDM management, making C the correct answer.


NEW QUESTION # 102
You used Apple Business Manager to assign enrolled iPhone and iPad devices to a new MDM solution. What must you do to enroll the devices in the new MDM solution using Automated Device Enrollment?

  • A. Revive the devices.
  • B. Erase the devices.
  • C. Send a remote-wipe command from Apple Business Manager.
  • D. Release the devices in Apple Business Manager.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Erasing triggers ADE. TheApple Business Manager User Guidestates, "To enroll devices in a new MDM solution via ADE after reassignment, erase the devices to restart Setup Assistant and connect to the new server." References:
Apple Business Manager User Guide, "Reassign Devices" section.
Apple Platform Deployment Guide, "ADE Re-enrollment" section.


NEW QUESTION # 103
What can you preserve when you erase a supervised iPad using MDM?

  • A. Existing eSIM
  • B. User data and settings
  • C. Device passcode
  • D. Installed apps

Answer: A

Explanation:
Supervised devices give administrators additional control, especially during redeployment. Apple's MDM framework includes the option to preserve theeSIMcellular data plan when sending an erase command. This is done through thePreserveDataPlankey as part of the MDM wipe command. Apple stresses that while user data, apps, and passcodes are always removed during a managed erase, the data plan can be explicitly retained to avoid disruption. This functionality is especially valuable for organizations with carrier-managed iPads, reducing operational friction when reissuing devices. No other data types-apps, passcodes, or settings-are preserved during this process.
References:Apple Platform Deployment - "Erase Apple devices"; Apple Learning - "Device management restrictions."


NEW QUESTION # 104
Which feature in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager allows you to assign apps to users or devices?

  • A. User Enrollment
  • B. Automated Device Enrollment
  • C. Volume Purchase Program
  • D. Managed Distribution

Answer: D

Explanation:
Managed Distribution in Apple Business Manager (ABM) and Apple School Manager (ASM) enables administrators to assign apps (purchased or free) to users or devices via an MDM solution. It replaced the legacy Volume Purchase Program (VPP, option D), integrating app purchasing and distribution into ABM/ASM. Automated Device Enrollment (option A) is for device enrollment, not app assignment. User Enrollment (option C) is a BYOD enrollment type, not an app distribution feature. The Apple Business Manager User Guide details Managed Distribution as the mechanism for app assignment.


NEW QUESTION # 105
Which threat does Managed Device Attestation help protect against?

  • A. A compromised device lying about its properties
  • B. An unauthorized user inserting malicious code during a software update
  • C. A compromised device disabling Activation Lock
  • D. Bypassing kernel permissions to allow writability of critical system files

Answer: A

Explanation:
Managed Device Attestationis a feature Apple added to improve trust in MDM environments. Apple Learning explains that this technology ensures the device cannot falsely report its identity, security posture, or management status. Attestation uses secure hardware components such as the Secure Enclave to provide cryptographic proof of device properties. This helps protect against threats where compromised or jailbroken devices attempt to "lie" about compliance or OS version to gain access to sensitive systems. It does not directly address update tampering, kernel bypasses, or Activation Lock manipulation - those are handled by other security layers. By guaranteeing that reported device attributes are authentic, Managed Device Attestation strengthens conditional access policies and prevents non-compliant devices from masquerading as secure.
References:Apple Platform Deployment - "Managed Device Attestation in MDM."


NEW QUESTION # 106
A user enrolled their personally owned iPhone in your MDM solution to access organizational services. Which of these is cryptographically separated for managed and personal data?

  • A. Contacts
  • B. Safari profiles
  • C. Safari bookmarks
  • D. Keychain items

Answer: D

Explanation:
User Enrollment separates managed Keychain items. The iOS Deployment Reference states, "With User Enrollment, Keychain items associated with a Managed Apple ID are stored in a distinct cryptographic container." Options B, C, and D aren't separated unless tied to managed apps.
Reference:
iOS Deployment Reference, "User Enrollment" section.
Apple Platform Deployment Guide, "Data Separation" section.


NEW QUESTION # 107
Your organization bought new iPhone devices from Apple. You have Automated Device Enrollment configured, but the iPhone devices aren't asked to enroll. What might be the cause?

  • A. Someone in your organization added the iPhone devices to the wrong location in Apple Business Manager.
  • B. The iPhone devices are waiting for approval in Apple Business Manager before they can enroll in MDM.
  • C. Someone in your organization must manually reset the iPhone devices before they can enroll in MDM.
  • D. The iPhone devices don't have a default MDM server assignment.

Answer: D

Explanation:
ADE requires devices to be assigned to an MDM server in ABM. The Apple Business Manager User Guide states, "For devices to automatically enroll via ADE, they must be assigned to an MDM server in Apple Business Manager. Without this assignment, the enrollment process will not initiate during setup." Options A, B, and D don't apply as devices from Apple are auto-added, don't need resets, and location issues don't block enrollment without assignment.
Reference:
Apple Business Manager User Guide, "Assign Devices to MDM" section.
Apple Platform Deployment Guide, "Automated Device Enrollment" section.


NEW QUESTION # 108
Which benefit does using Return to Service provide?

  • A. Automatic progression to the Home Screen after erasing
  • B. Automatic creation of an Apple Account
  • C. Interactive authentication during enrollment
  • D. Automatic software updates

Answer: A

Explanation:
TheReturn to Serviceworkflow is designed to quickly redeploy devices, particularly in education or enterprise shared-use environments. Apple Learning explains that the key benefit is theautomatic progression of the device to the Home Screen after an erase command. Normally, Setup Assistant requires user input to complete setup after a wipe, but with Return to Service, MDM can preconfigure settings such as Wi-Fi payloads and enrollment profiles. This allows the device to erase, re-enroll, and complete setup with no user interaction, landing directly at the Home Screen ready for the next user. It does not create Apple IDs, nor does it install updates automatically. It also avoids requiring authentication during setup. The speed and automation reduce IT overhead and downtime when reissuing devices.
References:Apple Platform Deployment - "Return to Service workflow."


NEW QUESTION # 109
What does MDM require to escrow a bootstrap token?

  • A. Content token
  • B. FileVault
  • C. Supervision
  • D. Account-driven User Enrollment

Answer: C

Explanation:
Thebootstrap tokenis a mechanism introduced by Apple to help MDM solutions automatically grant SecureToken to managed accounts. Apple specifies that escrow of a bootstrap token requires the device to besupervised. Without supervision, MDM cannot request or store the bootstrap token. This token becomes critical when enabling FileVault, since new accounts may need SecureToken for disk unlock. By escrowing the bootstrap token, MDM ensures accounts created later (e.g., through identity integration or Jamf Connect) can automatically receive SecureToken. This simplifies administration and prevents situations where FileVault cannot be enabled due to missing tokens.
References:Apple Platform Deployment - "Manage FileVault with bootstrap token."
