MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You are planning a Microsoft Intune deployment for a large organization with Windows, iOS, and Android devices. You need to ensure that devices can enroll automatically when users sign in with their work accounts. Which THREE components are required?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse prerequisites for device management (like APNs certificate) with prerequisites for automatic enrollment, leading them to select Apple Push Notification service certificate as a required component when it is only needed after enrollment for iOS device management.
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
✓
Intune licenses assigned to users
Intune licenses must be assigned to users to grant them access to the service. Without a license, the user cannot authenticate with Intune, and automatic enrollment will fail during the device registration step. This is a prerequisite enforced by Microsoft Entra ID and Intune together.
