The answer is to set the MDM user scope in Microsoft Entra ID to 'All' or 'Some'. This is correct because automatic Intune enrollment for Microsoft Entra ID joined devices is triggered by the MDM user scope configuration; when a user signs in with their Entra ID credentials, the device automatically enrolls in Intune if the scope includes that user. On the MD-102 exam, this concept tests your understanding of the enrollment flow for Entra ID joined devices, often appearing as a distractor where you might confuse the MDM discovery URL or enrollment restrictions with the actual trigger. A common trap is thinking you need to manually configure the discovery URL, but for Entra ID joined devices, that URL is set automatically. Remember: for automatic enrollment, focus on the scope, not the URL. A helpful memory tip is "Scope sets the slope"—adjusting the user scope in Entra ID is the only step needed to start the automatic enrollment slide.
MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of prepare infrastructure for devices. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set the MDM user scope in Microsoft Entra ID to 'All' or 'Some'.
Option D is correct because Microsoft Entra ID joined devices automatically enroll in Intune when the MDM user scope is set to 'All' or 'Some'.

Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
