MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You are the endpoint administrator for Contoso, which uses Microsoft Intune. You need to enroll 200 new Windows 11 devices into Intune with the least administrative effort. The devices are currently running Windows 11 Pro and are connected to the internet. You want to avoid imaging or manually installing agents. What should you do?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that a separate Intune agent must be installed on Windows devices, when in fact enrollment is natively integrated into the OS.
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
✓
Configure Windows Autopilot deployment profiles and register the device hardware IDs.
Windows Autopilot is designed to simplify and automate the enrollment of new Windows devices without reimaging. By registering hardware IDs, you can assign deployment profiles that automatically configure and enroll devices into Intune. This approach minimizes administrative effort and ensures devices are ready for use with minimal user interaction.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure Windows Autopilot deployment profiles and register the device hardware IDs.
Why this is correct
Windows Autopilot leverages the existing Windows installation and hardware ID to enroll devices into Intune without reimaging. By registering hardware hashes, you can assign deployment profiles that automatically join devices to Microsoft Entra ID and enroll them in Intune. This meets the requirement of least administrative effort and avoids imaging.
- ✗
Deploy the Intune agent MSI to each device using a logon script.
Why it's wrong here
There is no separate Intune agent MSI for Windows 10/11 devices. Enrollment is built into the operating system and managed through MDM channels. Deploying a logon script would require additional infrastructure and does not leverage modern enrollment methods, increasing administrative effort and complexity.
- ✗
Manually enroll each device by having users sign in with their Microsoft Entra ID credentials in Settings.
Why it's wrong here
Manual enrollment requires user interaction on each device, which is time-consuming and error-prone for 200 devices. It does not meet the least administrative effort requirement and lacks automation. Additionally, users may not have the necessary permissions or knowledge to complete enrollment correctly.
- ✗
Use Group Policy to enable automatic MDM enrollment for all domain-joined devices.
Why it's wrong here
Group Policy automatic MDM enrollment requires devices to be domain-joined and configured with a MDM user scope in Microsoft Entra ID. However, this method still requires devices to be joined to on-premises Active Directory and does not work for devices that are only Microsoft Entra joined or workgroup-joined, making it less suitable for cloud-first management.
