MD-102 Practice Question: A company uses Windows Autopilot for user-driven…
A company uses Windows Autopilot for user-driven deployments. They want to ensure that during the out-of-box experience (OOBE), users are required to sign in with their Microsoft Entra ID credentials and the device is automatically enrolled in Intune. Which Autopilot deployment profile setting should be configured?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse 'Self-Deploying' with 'User-Driven' because both can result in Microsoft Entra ID join and Intune enrollment, but 'Self-Deploying' does not require user sign-in during OOBE, which is explicitly required in the question.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set 'Deployment mode' to 'User-Driven' and 'Join to Microsoft Entra ID as' to 'Microsoft Entra ID joined'.
The scenario requires a user-driven deployment where the user signs in with Microsoft Entra ID credentials during OOBE, and the device is automatically enrolled in Intune. Setting 'Deployment mode' to 'User-Driven' ensures the user authenticates during OOBE, and 'Join to Microsoft Entra ID as' to 'Microsoft Entra ID joined' makes the device Microsoft Entra ID-joined, which triggers automatic Intune enrollment via the MDM enrollment authority configured in Microsoft Entra ID.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set 'Deployment mode' to 'Self-Deploying' and 'Join to Microsoft Entra ID as' to 'Microsoft Entra ID joined'.
Why it's wrong here
Self-Deploying mode provisions the device with no user credentials at all, so OOBE never prompts for sign-in — directly contradicting the requirement. It is tempting because it also produces a Microsoft Entra joined device enrolled in Intune, and is correct for kiosks or shared devices needing zero-touch provisioning.
- ✗
Set 'Deployment mode' to 'User-Driven' and 'Join to Microsoft Entra ID as' to 'Hybrid Microsoft Entra ID joined'.
Why it's wrong here
Hybrid Microsoft Entra join requires the device to reach a domain controller and an on-premises AD object, so OOBE demands domain credentials rather than cloud sign-in. It is tempting because User-Driven mode is right, but hybrid join suits organisations needing on-premises Group Policy alongside Intune.
- ✗
Set 'Deployment mode' to 'White Glove' and 'Join to Microsoft Entra ID as' to 'Microsoft Entra ID joined'.
Why it's wrong here
White Glove pre-provisions the device before it reaches the user, so the technician, not the end user, completes enrolment and OOBE sign-in. It is tempting because it still yields a Microsoft Entra joined, Intune-enrolled device, and is correct when devices must be staged before delivery.
- ✓
Set 'Deployment mode' to 'User-Driven' and 'Join to Microsoft Entra ID as' to 'Microsoft Entra ID joined'.
Why this is correct
User-Driven mode presents the OOBE sign-in page, and Microsoft Entra ID joined makes the device join Microsoft Entra ID and auto-enrol in Intune. Together they satisfy the requirement for credential-based sign-in and automatic enrolment during out-of-box experience.
