Question 170
At the Cedarport online learning platform, company-managed Windows devices exist in AD DS but the access program expects those same devices to appear in Entra device assessments. What risk should the team identify as the primary issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The situation shows that on-premises domain membership does not by itself prove a matching cloud device identity is registered, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. Remediation is to configure supported hybrid Microsoft Entra join and device registration where required. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Cedarport online learning platform.
Incorrect Answers
Cloud-native Entra user accounts do not require an on-premises AD DS domain for basic cloud sign-in. That may occur elsewhere, but the evidence at the Cedarport online learning platform instead points to the fact that on-premises domain membership does not by itself prove a matching cloud device identity is registered.
The proposed cause is relevant to privileged identity management eligible roles, but it does not explain why on-premises domain membership does not by itself prove a matching cloud device identity is registered in the reported case. For the Cedarport online learning platform, the direct corrective action is to configure supported hybrid Microsoft Entra join and device registration where required.
Risk associated with a particular authentication attempt differs from the risk that an account identity itself may be compromised. That is not the mechanism that accounts for the stated failure at the Cedarport online learning platform.
