MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are valid reasons to use Windows Autopilot Reset? (Select TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse Autopilot Reset with a full re-imaging or enrollment tool, leading them to select options B or D, when in fact Autopilot Reset is strictly a reset-to-clean-state mechanism for already-enrolled devices, not a deployment or enrollment method.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
To reassign a device to a new user without re-imaging.
Options A and E are correct. Windows Autopilot Reset returns an already-enrolled device to a clean, ready-to-use state without re-imaging, preserving hardware identity and enrollment. Option A is correct because it allows reassigning a device to a new user quickly. Option E is correct because it resolves performance issues by resetting to a clean state. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: Autopilot Reset does not enroll new devices (B), does not change Azure AD join type (C), and does not deploy custom images (D).
