MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Exhibit
Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo.ps1 -GroupTag "Marketing" -Online
Refer to the exhibit. An administrator runs the PowerShell cmdlet shown on a new Windows 11 device. The cmdlet completes successfully, but the device does not appear in Intune under Windows Autopilot devices. What is the most likely cause?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently assume a successful cmdlet execution means the device is registered, but Microsoft deliberately separates the local upload success from the service-side permission check, testing whether you understand that Intune role-based access control governs the final enrollment.
Answer choices
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
✓
The user running the cmdlet does not have the required permissions in Intune.
The Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo cmdlet uploads the device's hardware hash to the Microsoft Intune service. If the user lacks the necessary Intune role permissions (e.g., 'Intune Administrator' or a custom role with 'Enroll and assign devices' permission), the upload succeeds locally but the device hash is rejected by the Intune service, so the device never appears in the Windows Autopilot device list.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The user running the cmdlet does not have the required permissions in Intune.
Why this is correct
The cmdlet requires Intune Administrator or similar role to upload the hash.
- ✗
The device does not have internet access.
Why it's wrong here
The cmdlet requires internet; if no internet, it would fail.
- ✗
The device is already registered in Autopilot, so the cmdlet does nothing.
Why it's wrong here
The cmdlet would still attempt to upload; if already registered, it would update.
- ✗
The group tag 'Marketing' is invalid.
Why it's wrong here
Invalid group tag would cause an error but not prevent upload.
