MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Your organization is deploying Windows 10 devices using Windows Autopilot. The devices are purchased from a vendor and will be shipped directly to users. You need to ensure that the devices are automatically enrolled in Intune and configured with your organization's standard settings as soon as the user turns on the device and connects to the internet. The devices should be Azure AD joined. What is the minimal configuration required?

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Upload the device's hardware hash to Microsoft Intune.
The hardware hash must be uploaded to Microsoft Intune for Autopilot to automatically recognize the device, enroll it in Intune, and join it to Azure AD upon first boot. Option A is incorrect because vendors cannot pre-configure Autopilot settings; they should provide the hardware hash. Option B is incorrect because the hardware hash is uploaded to Intune, not Azure AD directly. Option C is incorrect because the user should not manually enroll; Autopilot automates the process.
