Quick Answer
The answer is the Client apps workload. This is correct because the Client apps workload in Configuration Manager co-management is the specific setting that, when moved to Intune, triggers automatic Intune enrollment for existing Configuration Manager clients. Technically, this workload controls the authority for deploying and managing applications, and shifting it to Intune forces the client to register with the Microsoft Intune service, enabling the co-management handshake. On the MD-102 exam, this concept tests your understanding of how co-management workloads map to Intune functionality; a common trap is confusing Client apps with Windows Update policies or Endpoint Protection, which manage updates and security settings respectively but do not initiate enrollment. Remember the memory tip: “Client apps equals client enrollment” — if you need devices to automatically register with Intune, always look for the workload that handles application management, not policies or protection.
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of prepare infrastructure for devices. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
You are planning a Windows 11 deployment for 1000 devices using Configuration Manager co-management with Intune. You need to ensure that devices automatically enroll to Intune after the Configuration Manager client is installed. Which workload must you configure in Configuration Manager?
Endpoint Protection
Why wrong: This workload is for Defender settings, not enrollment.
Windows Update policies
Why wrong: This workload controls update settings, not enrollment.
Resource access
Why wrong: This workload manages certificates and VPN, not enrollment.
Client apps
Setting 'Client apps' to Intune triggers automatic enrollment.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Client apps
Option B is correct because the 'Client apps' workload enables automatic enrollment to Intune. Option A is wrong because 'Windows Update policies' is for update management. Option C is wrong because 'Endpoint Protection' is separate. Option D is wrong because 'Resource access' is not the correct workload.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
