MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You are designing a Windows Autopilot deployment for a new fleet of devices. The devices will be shipped directly to users from the vendor. You need to ensure that the devices automatically enroll in Microsoft Intune and receive a standard set of applications during the out-of-box experience (OOBE). Which Autopilot deployment profile should you assign?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse Self-Deploying mode with user-assigned apps, but Self-Deploying mode is designed for devices without a user context and only supports device-assigned apps, making it unsuitable for user-driven app delivery.
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
✓
User-Driven mode (Azure AD joined) with user-assigned apps.
User-Driven mode with Azure AD joined and user-assigned apps is correct because the devices are shipped directly to users, who will perform the OOBE themselves. This mode requires a user to sign in with Azure AD credentials, which triggers automatic enrollment in Microsoft Intune and applies the assigned user-targeted apps during the enrollment process.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
User-Driven mode (Azure AD joined) with user-assigned apps.
Why this is correct
User-Driven mode allows users to sign in and receive user-assigned apps during OOBE.
- ✗
Pre-provisioning (White Glove) mode with device-assigned apps.
Why it's wrong here
White Glove requires IT to pre-provision devices, not applicable for direct shipping.
- ✗
Self-Deploying mode (Azure AD registered) with device-assigned apps.
Why it's wrong here
Self-Deploying mode does not support user interaction; devices are shared.
- ✗
Self-Deploying mode (Azure AD joined) with user-assigned apps.
Why it's wrong here
