MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of prepare infrastructure for devices. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Your organization is deploying Windows Autopilot self-deploying mode for kiosk devices. The devices will be used in a public area and must not require user interaction during the initial setup. What is the prerequisite for this deployment?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The device must have a TPM 2.0 chip.
Option A is correct because self-deploying mode requires the device to be a physical device with a TPM 2.0 chip for attestation. Option B is wrong because self-deploying mode does not require a user to sign in. Option C is wrong because self-deploying mode uses a device-based enrollment token, not a user-based one. Option D is wrong because the device must be pre-registered in Intune as an Autopilot device.
Key principle: OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
A user must be assigned to the device in Microsoft Entra ID.
Why it's wrong here
Self-deploying mode does not require a user.
✓
The device must have a TPM 2.0 chip.
Why this is correct
TPM 2.0 is required for hardware attestation in self-deploying mode.
An enrollment profile must be assigned to the user.
Why it's wrong here
Self-deploying mode uses a device-based profile.
✗
The device must be added to Microsoft Entra ID manually.
Why it's wrong here
Autopilot registers the device automatically.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: OSPF can fail even when IP connectivity looks correct
OSPF neighbour formation depends on matching areas, timers, network type, authentication and passive-interface behaviour. Do not choose an answer only because the devices can ping.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
OSPF questions usually test the details that control adjacency and route selection. Read the neighbour state, area, router ID and interface configuration before deciding what is wrong.
KKey Concepts to Remember
OSPF neighbours must agree on key parameters.
Router ID selection can affect neighbour relationships and LSDB output.
OSPF cost influences the preferred path.
A route can appear in OSPF information but not become the installed route.
TExam Day Tips
→Check area mismatch first when OSPF adjacency fails.
→Review passive interfaces when a network is advertised but no neighbour forms.
→Use show ip ospf neighbor and show ip route clues carefully.
Key takeaway
OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
