MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You are an endpoint administrator for a company that uses Microsoft Intune. You need to ensure that all Windows 10 devices are automatically enrolled in Intune when they are joined to Microsoft Entra ID. What should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse automatic enrollment with conditional access or device configuration profiles, which serve different purposes and do not initiate enrollment.
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
✓
In the Microsoft Intune admin center, enable automatic enrollment for Windows devices.
Automatic enrollment in Intune for Windows devices is enabled through the Microsoft Intune admin center by configuring the MDM user scope. This setting ensures that when a device joins Microsoft Entra ID, it automatically enrolls in Intune without user action. Other options either describe non-existent settings or do not provide automatic enrollment.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create a device configuration profile with the "Enroll in Intune" setting enabled.
Why it's wrong here
There is no "Enroll in Intune" setting in a device configuration profile. Device configuration profiles are used to configure settings on already enrolled devices, not to enroll them. Enrollment is handled through automatic enrollment settings or manual enrollment methods. This option describes a non-existent feature, so it cannot be the correct answer.
- ✓
In the Microsoft Intune admin center, enable automatic enrollment for Windows devices.
Why this is correct
Automatic enrollment in Intune is configured in the Microsoft Intune admin center under Devices > Enroll devices > Automatic Enrollment. Enabling the MDM user scope for Windows allows devices to automatically enroll when they join Microsoft Entra ID. This is the correct setting to ensure automatic enrollment without user intervention. It requires appropriate licensing and permissions, but it directly addresses the requirement.
- ✗
Configure a conditional access policy to require compliant devices.
Why it's wrong here
Conditional access policies can require devices to be compliant, but they do not enroll devices in Intune. Conditional access is used to control access to resources based on conditions, not to initiate enrollment. While it can indirectly encourage enrollment, it does not automatically enroll devices when they join Microsoft Entra ID. This option misunderstands the purpose of conditional access.
- ✗
Assign an Intune license to each user and instruct them to manually enroll their devices.
Why it's wrong here
While assigning licenses is necessary for enrollment, instructing users to manually enroll does not meet the requirement of automatic enrollment. The scenario asks for automatic enrollment when devices are joined to Microsoft Entra ID. Manual enrollment requires user action and is not automatic. Therefore, this option does not satisfy the requirement, even though licensing is a prerequisite.
