MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Which THREE are required for a successful Microsoft Intune enrollment of a Windows device?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse post-enrollment requirements (like compliance policies or Microsoft Entra ID P1) with prerequisites for enrollment, leading them to select options that are only needed after the device is already enrolled.

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
✓
MDM enrollment enabled in Microsoft Entra ID
Option B is correct because MDM enrollment must be enabled in Microsoft Entra ID (the Mobility (MDM and MAM) settings) so that Windows devices can be automatically or manually enrolled into Intune; without this, the tenant cannot accept MDM enrollments. Option D is correct because each enrolling user must hold a valid Microsoft Intune license (for example, an Intune, EMS E3/E5, or Microsoft 365 license that includes Intune) to be entitled to enroll and manage the device. Option E is correct because the Windows device must have internet connectivity to reach the Microsoft Intune service endpoints (and dependent services such as the enrollment and MDM endpoints) to complete enrollment and receive policy. Option A is not required for enrollment itself, since a device compliance policy is applied after the device is enrolled and is used for conditional access evaluation, not as an enrollment prerequisite. Option C is not required, because Microsoft Entra ID P1 is not a prerequisite for Intune enrollment; Intune licensing covers the MDM functionality, and automatic MDM enrollment in Entra ID does not require P1.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
A device compliance policy assigned to the device
Why it's wrong here
Compliance policy evaluates a device after it is enrolled and managed; it cannot gate the enrolment itself, and an unenrolled device has no compliance state to report. Compliance policies are the correct control when enforcing configuration baselines such as BitLocker or firewall settings on already-managed devices.
- ✓
MDM enrollment enabled in Microsoft Entra ID
Why this is correct
MDM enrolment must be enabled in Microsoft Entra ID so the tenant's users are permitted to enrol Windows devices into Intune; without this, automatic MDM enrolment fails during OOBE or manual enrolment, regardless of licensing or connectivity.
- ✗
Microsoft Entra ID P1 license
Why it's wrong here
Intune enrolment requires only a work or school account and the MDM authority; Entra ID Premium P1 is not a prerequisite. P1 is needed for conditional access, dynamic groups, and automatic MDM enrolment, so it is the right licence when those features are in scope.
- ✓
A valid Microsoft Intune license assigned to the user
Why this is correct
Each enrolling user needs a valid Microsoft Intune licence, since Intune enforces per-user licensing at enrolment; an unlicensed user is blocked from completing MDM enrolment even when MDM enrolment is enabled and the device has internet access.
- ✓
Internet connectivity to Microsoft Intune service
Why this is correct
The device must reach the Microsoft Intune service over the internet, because enrolment exchanges MDM certificates and policy through cloud endpoints; without connectivity the enrolment attempt cannot complete, irrespective of licensing or Entra ID MDM settings.
