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
✓
Automatic enrollment via Microsoft Entra join
Microsoft Entra joined devices automatically enroll in Intune when configured, making it the simplest method. Option A (Windows Autopilot) is wrong because it requires additional setup and is not the simplest. Option B (Group Policy) is wrong because Group Policy is typically used for on-premises devices and not automatic. Option C (Manual enrollment via Company Portal) is wrong because it requires user interaction and is not automatic.
