MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Your company uses Microsoft Intune to manage devices. You need to ensure that all corporate-owned iOS devices automatically enroll in Intune when users sign in with their work account. Which enrollment method should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse Apple Configurator enrollment (a manual, wired method) with ADE (an automated, over-the-air method), or they think user-initiated enrollment via Company Portal can be automated, but it requires manual steps by the user.
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
✓
Apple Automated Device Enrollment (ADE)
Apple Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) is the correct method because it enables zero-touch, automated enrollment for corporate-owned iOS devices. When ADE is configured with Intune, devices are automatically enrolled during the initial setup assistant when the user signs in with their work account, without requiring manual intervention or the Company Portal app.
