MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Your company has a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription. You are planning to deploy Windows 11 using Microsoft Intune. You need to ensure that devices automatically receive English (US) language pack and regional settings during the provisioning process. You plan to use a provisioning package (PPKG) created with Windows Configuration Designer. What should you include in the PPKG?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates assume a PowerShell script or Intune policy is required for language configuration, overlooking that Windows Configuration Designer provides native, first-class settings for language and region within a PPKG.
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
✓
Include the 'Language' and 'RegionalSettings' settings in the PPKG.
Windows Configuration Designer (WCD) directly supports configuring language and regional settings within a provisioning package (PPKG) through built-in settings. Including the 'Language' and 'RegionalSettings' settings in the PPKG ensures these configurations are applied during the out-of-box experience (OOBE) or provisioning process, without requiring additional scripts or policies. This is the most efficient and supported method for offline or Autopilot pre-provisioning scenarios.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Add a PowerShell script that runs during Autopilot to set language and region.
Why it's wrong here
PowerShell scripts cannot modify provisioning settings during the out-of-box experience.
- ✓
Include the 'Language' and 'RegionalSettings' settings in the PPKG.
Why this is correct
Windows Configuration Designer allows embedding language and regional settings directly.
- ✗
Assign an Intune Language Pack policy to the device group.
Why it's wrong here
Language packs are installed via Intune but not during initial provisioning automatically.
- ✗
Create a Group Policy Object that sets language and region, and link it to the device OU.
Why it's wrong here
Group Policy is not applied during the provisioning process before the device is joined to the domain.
