MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Which TWO components are required for a successful Windows Autopilot deployment with user-driven Microsoft Entra ID join? (Select two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the optional Enrollment Status Page with a mandatory component, or they mistakenly believe on-premises Active Directory join is required for user-driven Autopilot, when in fact Microsoft Entra ID join is a separate, cloud-native identity option.

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
✓
Device registration in the Autopilot service using hardware hash.
For a user-driven Windows Autopilot deployment with Microsoft Entra ID join, the required components are device registration in the Autopilot service using hardware hash and a Windows Autopilot deployment profile in Intune. The Enrollment Status Page (ESP) is optional and not required for a successful deployment. On-premises Active Directory domain join is not needed because the device joins Microsoft Entra ID, and Configuration Manager co-management is optional.
