MD-102 Practice Question: Which TWO options are valid methods to deploy…
Which TWO options are valid methods to deploy Windows 10 to new hardware in a Configuration Manager environment?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse MDT Lite Touch as a Configuration Manager deployment method, but MDT is a separate tool and Lite Touch does not use the Configuration Manager client or infrastructure, making it invalid for this context.
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
✓
Bootable media deployment
Bootable media deployment (Option D) is a valid method in Configuration Manager because it allows you to create bootable USB or CD/DVD media that contains the boot image, task sequence, and required content. When the media is booted on new hardware, it initiates a task sequence that contacts the Configuration Manager site server to download the OS image and apply it, making it ideal for bare-metal deployments without network connectivity.
