MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You are planning to enroll macOS devices in Intune. Users must authenticate with their Microsoft Entra ID credentials and then be prompted to install the Company Portal app. Which enrollment method should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse 'Automated device enrollment' with 'Device enrollment (without user affinity)', mistakenly thinking that any automated enrollment method will prompt for user authentication and app installation, but without user affinity, the device is enrolled as a shared device with no user context.
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
✓
Automated device enrollment (with user affinity)
Automated device enrollment (with user affinity) is correct because it uses Apple's Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) to supervise the device, enforce user authentication with Microsoft Entra ID, and automatically install the Company Portal app during setup. This method ensures the device is enrolled in Intune with a user context, which is required for the user to authenticate and receive the Company Portal prompt.
