MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
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?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse self-deploying mode with user-driven mode, mistakenly thinking a user assignment or manual Entra ID addition is required, when in fact TPM 2.0 is the critical hardware prerequisite for unattended, zero-touch enrollment.
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
✓
The device must have a TPM 2.0 chip.
Windows Autopilot self-deploying mode relies on the device's TPM 2.0 chip to cryptographically attest its identity to Microsoft Entra ID without any user interaction. The TPM 2.0 provides hardware-bound keys that enable the device to authenticate itself and automatically enroll, which is essential for kiosk devices in public areas where no user credentials can be supplied during initial setup.
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
