MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are benefits of using Windows Autopilot for device provisioning?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates assume Autopilot can work over a VPN or without internet because it is a cloud-based service, but it requires direct internet access during OOBE before any VPN client is installed.
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
✓
Allows end users to set up their own devices with minimal IT involvement.
Windows Autopilot leverages the device's hardware identity (hash) to automatically enroll it in Microsoft Entra ID and join it to a domain or tenant, allowing end users to complete the setup process themselves with minimal IT intervention. This reduces helpdesk calls and streamlines the out-of-box experience (OOBE) by presenting only necessary screens.
