MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You manage a fleet of 2,000 iOS devices for a healthcare organization. The devices are used by clinicians and must be enrolled in Intune. Due to security requirements, you must ensure that devices are supervised and that the Company Portal app is installed automatically. You have Apple Business Manager (ABM) set up with Intune. You need to configure the enrollment process so that when a new device is unboxed and turned on, it automatically enrolls and receives the required configuration. Which enrollment method should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often choose Device enrollment without user affinity (Option A) thinking it is sufficient for supervised devices, but they overlook the requirement for user-specific policies and conditional access that only user affinity can provide.
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 (ADE) with user affinity
Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) with user affinity is the correct method because it leverages Apple Business Manager (ABM) to supervise devices automatically during the initial setup, enforces the required supervision state, and installs the Company Portal app via a mandatory VPP app assignment. User affinity ensures that each device is associated with a specific clinician, enabling user-based policies and conditional access. This meets the healthcare organization's security requirements for supervised devices and automatic app deployment.
