MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Which TWO are valid methods to deploy Windows 10/11 using Microsoft Intune?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse on-premises deployment tools (WDS, PXE, USB media) with cloud-native Intune methods, forgetting that Intune is a cloud-only MDM service that does not support direct imaging or network boot protocols.
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
✓
Windows Autopilot
Windows Autopilot is a valid Intune deployment method because it uses cloud-based configuration to transform a new or existing device into a business-ready state without manual imaging. It leverages hardware hashes uploaded to Intune, which then applies policies, apps, and settings during the out-of-box experience (OOBE). This eliminates the need for traditional imaging infrastructure.
