MD-102 Manage and maintain devices Practice Question
You are managing Windows 10 devices with Intune. You need to deploy a PowerShell script that runs under the system context during device enrollment. Which approach should you use?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Upload the script as a PowerShell script in Intune and assign it to the device group.
Intune's 'PowerShell scripts' feature allows you to upload and assign scripts that run under the system context during device enrollment, specifically targeting devices in a group. This is the only native Intune method that executes scripts in the system context at enrollment time without additional configuration.
