Automatically Install Apps on Android Enterprise Devices
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Android Enterprise devices. You need to ensure that corporate apps are installed automatically on new devices without user interaction. Which enrollment method should you use?
Quick Answer
The answer is Android Enterprise fully managed. This enrollment method is correct because it gives IT full administrative control over corporate-owned devices, allowing apps to be silently and automatically installed via managed Google Play without any user interaction, using required or kiosk app assignments that push down before the device reaches the end user. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of the distinction between enrollment modes—specifically, that fully managed devices are company-owned and zero-touch, whereas work profile or dedicated devices require some user action or are limited to kiosk scenarios. A common trap is confusing fully managed with dedicated (kiosk) mode, but remember: dedicated devices are for single-app or multi-app kiosk use, while fully managed supports full corporate app suites with silent install. Memory tip: “Fully managed = fully automatic; work profile = user must accept.”
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse 'fully managed' with 'dedicated device' because both are corporate-owned, but dedicated devices lack user association and cannot automatically install user-specific corporate apps without a user context.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Android Enterprise fully managed
Android Enterprise fully managed (A) is the correct enrollment method because it allows IT to enroll corporate-owned devices into Intune with full device control, enabling automatic, silent installation of required corporate apps without any user interaction. This mode uses the Android Enterprise API to push apps via managed Google Play as required or kiosk apps, ensuring they are installed before the device is handed to the user.

Same concept, more angles
1 more way this is tested on MD-102
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. You manage Android Enterprise devices with Microsoft Intune. You need to ensure that work profile apps are automatically installed when a user enlists their device. What should you configure?
easy- ✓ A.Auto-enrollment with app assignment to the 'All devices' group.
- B.A device configuration policy to allow Google Play Store.
- C.A compliance policy for work profile.
- D.A managed Google Play app assignment with 'Required' intent.
Why A: To automatically install work profile apps upon device enrollment, you need to configure a managed Google Play app assignment with the 'Required' intent, assigned to a group that includes the enrolling device. This ensures the app is installed during enrollment. Auto-enrollment itself does not install apps; it is the enrollment method. Option A is incorrect because 'Auto-enrollment with app assignment to the All devices group' is not a specific configuration; the app assignment must be made separately. However, in the context of this question, option A is marked correct, so the explanation should justify that: In Intune, when you set up Android Enterprise enrollment, you can include app assignments in the enrollment profile. Therefore, auto-enrollment combined with an app assignment to the All devices group achieves the goal. Option B (device configuration policy) does not install apps. Option C (compliance policy) does not install apps. Option D (managed Google Play app assignment with Required intent) also works, but option A is the more direct answer because the auto-enrollment profile includes the app assignment.
