The correct answer is a Microsoft account (work or school) with an Intune license and network connectivity to Intune services. These two prerequisites are non-negotiable because Intune enrollment requires both identity authentication and a live connection to Microsoft’s management endpoints; without a licensed account, the device cannot be assigned policies, and without network access, the enrollment service cannot be reached. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of baseline enrollment requirements versus optional features—a common trap is assuming Azure AD Premium P2 or local admin rights are needed, but they are not. Remember the memory tip: “License and line” — you need the license to prove identity and the line (network) to reach Intune.

Your organization is planning to use Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 11 devices. Which TWO are prerequisites for enrolling a Windows device in Intune?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Network connectivity to https://manage.microsoft.com and other Intune endpoints.
Windows 11 devices require a Microsoft account for enrollment (unless using a work or school account with automatic MDM enrollment) and network connectivity to Intune services. Option C is not a prerequisite because Intune enrollment can be done without Azure AD Premium P2. Option D is not required because a local admin account is not needed for enrollment. Option E is not required because Copilot is optional.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A healthcare organisation deploys an application with a public-facing web tier and a private database tier. The database subnet has no public IP and only accepts connections from the web tier's security group. Questions like this test whether you can design cloud network isolation using VNets/VPCs, subnets, and security group rules.
