MD-102 Practice Question: Needs to deploy Windows 11 to remote users who do…
An organization needs to deploy Windows 11 to remote users who do not have access to the corporate network. The devices are brand new and have internet connectivity. Which deployment method should the administrator recommend?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often assume VPN or PXE are viable for remote deployments, but they overlook the fundamental requirement that brand-new devices have no pre-existing network configuration or corporate connectivity, making internet-based Autopilot the only practical option.

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
✓
Use Windows Autopilot with user-driven mode.
Windows Autopilot with user-driven mode is the correct choice because it enables remote, zero-touch deployment of new Windows 11 devices using only internet connectivity. The devices are pre-registered in Autopilot, and during the out-of-box experience (OOBE), they automatically download the organization-specific configuration, join Azure AD, and enroll in MDM without requiring any VPN or on-premises infrastructure.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use Configuration Manager with a task sequence over VPN.
Why it's wrong here
VPN deployment is slow and unreliable.
- ✗
Use PXE boot from a distribution point at the local office.
Why it's wrong here
Requires local network access.
- ✓
Use Windows Autopilot with user-driven mode.
Why this is correct
Autopilot enables cloud-based deployment.
- ✗
Deploy using MDT with a bootable USB drive.
Why it's wrong here
USB deployment is manual and not scalable for remote.

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. 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 Azure AD credentials and the device is automatically enrolled in Intune. Which Autopilot deployment profile setting should be configured?
easy- A.Set 'Deployment mode' to 'Self-Deploying' and 'Join to Azure AD as' to 'Azure AD joined'.
- B.Set 'Deployment mode' to 'User-Driven' and 'Join to Azure AD as' to 'Hybrid Azure AD joined'.
- C.Set 'Deployment mode' to 'White Glove' and 'Join to Azure AD as' to 'Azure AD joined'.
- ✓ D.Set 'Deployment mode' to 'User-Driven' and 'Join to Azure AD as' to 'Azure AD joined'.
Why D: The scenario requires a user-driven deployment where the user signs in with Azure AD 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 Azure AD as' to 'Azure AD joined' makes the device Azure AD-joined, which triggers automatic Intune enrollment via the MDM enrollment authority configured in Azure AD.
