MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Your organization is deploying Microsoft Intune for the first time. You need to ensure that devices can enroll in Intune. Which of the following is a prerequisite for Intune enrollment?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse on-premises prerequisites (like AD or VPN) with cloud-only requirements, mistakenly thinking corporate network connectivity or legacy infrastructure is needed for Intune enrollment, when in fact only an Azure AD identity and an Intune license are required.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
A Microsoft Intune license assigned to the user
A Microsoft Intune license assigned to the user is a prerequisite because Intune uses Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for identity and access management. Without an Intune license (e.g., Microsoft 365 E3, E5, or standalone Intune license) assigned to the user, the device cannot authenticate and enroll via the Intune enrollment service, as the license is required to authorize the enrollment request and apply device management policies.
