Exam MS-102 topic 1 question 30 discussion

Your approach is indeed a clever one and it seems like it could work. However, there might be a potential issue with the first rule. In your first rule, you're targeting all users and all locations except a custom trusted location (Public IP Ranges of the company), and you're granting access with MFA + Compliant device. This rule might conflict with the third rule where you're blocking all users from signing in from outside the United States and Canada. The issue arises because the first rule could potentially allow users to sign in from outside the United States and Canada if they're using a compliant device and MFA, which contradicts the third rule that aims to block all sign-ins from outside these two countries. Therefore, it's safer to separate these into two different rules to avoid any potential conflicts or overlaps. This way, you can ensure that each rule is enforced correctly without any unintended consequences. Hence, a total of 5 rules would be needed to meet all the requirements. Please note that the actual configuration might vary based on the specific settings and conditions in your environment. It's always a good idea to test the policies in a controlled environment before deploying them in a production environment.
