MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
Which TWO methods can you use to enroll macOS devices in Microsoft Intune?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse Apple Configurator (which is only for iOS/iPadOS manual enrollment) with Automated Device Enrollment (ADE), or they mistakenly think Windows Autopilot or Google Zero Touch Enrollment can be repurposed for macOS, when in fact each platform has its own distinct enrollment mechanisms.
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
✓
User-initiated enrollment via Company Portal
The Company Portal app on macOS allows users to initiate enrollment themselves, which registers the device with Microsoft Intune and applies compliance policies. This method is suitable for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) scenarios where the user controls enrollment. Option E is correct because Automated Device Enrollment (ADE), formerly DEP, uses Apple Business Manager to silently enroll corporate-owned macOS devices during initial setup, enforcing Intune management without user intervention.
