MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Your organization has 500 Windows 10 devices that are currently managed by Microsoft Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr). You plan to enable co-management with Microsoft Intune to leverage cloud-based policies and conditional access. The devices are on-premises Active Directory joined and are already enrolled in ConfigMgr. You need to configure the co-management workload slider in ConfigMgr to move the 'Device configuration' workload to Intune while keeping 'Compliance policies' and 'Windows Update policies' in ConfigMgr initially. The devices should automatically enroll in Intune upon receiving the co-management policy. You have already configured Azure AD Connect for hybrid Azure AD join. What should you do next?
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
✓
In ConfigMgr, enable co-management, select the devices for pilot, and set the 'Device configuration' workload slider to 'Pilot Intune' or 'Intune'.
To enable co-management and move the Device configuration workload to Intune, you need to configure co-management in ConfigMgr. This involves enabling co-management, selecting a pilot collection (or all devices), and setting the workload slider for Device configuration to either 'Pilot Intune' or 'Intune' (full migration). This triggers automatic enrollment in Intune via the co-management policy. Option A is incorrect because the Intune connector is not needed for co-management; enrollment happens via ConfigMgr policy. Option B is incorrect because Group Policy for automatic MDM enrollment is not required when using co-management; the enrollment is triggered by ConfigMgr. Option D is incorrect because hybrid Azure AD join alone does not automatically enroll devices into co-management; the ConfigMgr co-management configuration is necessary.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Install the Intune connector for ConfigMgr and configure the workloads.
Why it's wrong here
The Intune connector is not used for co-management workload configuration.
- ✗
Create a Group Policy that enables automatic MDM enrollment to Intune.
Why it's wrong here
Group Policy can trigger enrollment, but co-management workload distribution requires ConfigMgr configuration.
- ✓
In ConfigMgr, enable co-management, select the devices for pilot, and set the 'Device configuration' workload slider to 'Pilot Intune' or 'Intune'.
Why this is correct
This configures the workload movement and triggers Intune enrollment for pilot devices.
- ✗
Configure hybrid Azure AD join for all devices via Group Policy and wait for auto-enrollment.
Why it's wrong here
Hybrid Azure AD join is already configured; auto-enrollment still needs ConfigMgr co-management policy.
