MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
You are implementing Windows Autopilot for your organization. You need to ensure that during the first boot, the device automatically enrolls in Microsoft Intune and joins Microsoft Entra ID. What is the minimum requirement for the device?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse hardware prerequisites (like TPM 2.0) with the mandatory requirement of a registered Autopilot profile, leading them to select Option C instead of D.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The device must be registered in Autopilot with a valid profile.
Windows Autopilot requires the device to be registered in the Autopilot service with a valid profile assigned. This profile contains the settings that dictate the out-of-box experience (OOBE), including automatic enrollment into Microsoft Intune and joining Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). Without a registered Autopilot profile, the device will not trigger the automated enrollment and join process during first boot.
