MD-102 Practice Question: Which TWO of the following are required to…
Which TWO of the following are required to implement Azure AD Join for Windows 10 devices in a hybrid environment with on-premises Active Directory?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates assume AD FS is mandatory for any hybrid identity scenario, but Microsoft supports multiple authentication methods (e.g., PHS, PTA) that do not require AD FS for Azure AD Join.
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 10 devices that are domain-joined to the on-premises Active Directory.
Azure AD Join in a hybrid environment requires devices to be domain-joined to on-premises Active Directory first. This allows Azure AD Connect to synchronize the device objects and, with device writeback enabled, register them in Azure AD, enabling seamless single sign-on and conditional access.
