Question

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains the devices shown in the following table. You are evaluating Microsoft Purview Information Protection. On which devices can you deploy the Information Protection client?

Options

• ADevice1 only
• BDevice1 and Device2 only
• CDevice1, Device2, and Device3 only
• DDevice1, Device3, and Device4 only
• EDevice1, Device2, Device3, and Device4

Explanation

{"question_number": 1, "explanation": "The Microsoft Purview Information Protection (AIP unified labeling) client is a Windows-only application. It can only be installed on devices running a supported Windows operating system (Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, etc.).\n\nBased on the correct answer of B (Device1 and Device2 only), the device table likely lists Device1 and Device2 as Windows-based machines (e.g., Windows 10/11 and Windows Server), while Device3 and Device4 run non-Windows operating systems such as macOS, iOS, Android, or Linux.\n\nWhy the other options are wrong:\n- Options C, D, and E include Device3 and/or Device4, which are non-Windows platforms where the Information Protection client cannot be installed.\n- Option A excludes Device2, which is a valid Windows device that does support the client.\n\nKey distinction: Microsoft 365 apps on non-Windows platforms (macOS, iOS, Android) have built-in sensitivity labeling support via the Office apps themselves, but the standalone Microsoft Purview Information Protection client software is exclusively for Windows. Having an E5 license does not expand platform support for the client binary itself.", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 4}
