Quick Answer
The answer is Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) and Company Portal enrollment. Automated Device Enrollment, formerly DEP, is the correct modern method for enrolling corporate-owned iOS/iPadOS devices directly into Intune without user interaction, while Company Portal enrollment allows users to manually enroll their personal or BYOD devices by installing the Company Portal app and signing in with their work credentials. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your ability to distinguish between enrollment methods for different ownership scenarios, with common traps being Windows Autopilot (for Windows only) and Android Zero Touch (for Android only). A key memory tip is to remember that ADE handles the "corporate, zero-touch" scenario, while Company Portal handles the "user-driven, bring-your-own" scenario—just think "ADE for the boss, Portal for the user."

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
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. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
