MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Your organization is planning to enroll Windows devices into Microsoft Intune using Group Policy. Which TWO prerequisites must be in place? (Choose two.)
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
✓
An on-premises Active Directory environment.
Options A and B are correct. Group Policy enrollment into Intune requires an on-premises Active Directory environment (A) to target devices via Group Policy, and a Group Policy object (B) configured with the MDM enrollment settings to enable automatic enrollment. Option C is incorrect because an Intune subscription is necessary but not a prerequisite specific to Group Policy enrollment—it is a general requirement. Option D is incorrect because Azure AD Connect is needed for hybrid identity, but Group Policy enrollment works with on-premises AD only. Option E is incorrect because hybrid Azure AD join is not required for Group Policy enrollment; devices can be on-premises joined and still enroll.
