The correct choice is to use Device Enrollment Manager (DEM) accounts to enroll devices. This configuration allows designated users to bypass the requirement for devices to be pre-registered as corporate-owned, enabling bulk enrollment of company-owned devices without needing each device to be individually marked as corporate in Intune. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of how to enforce corporate-only device enrollment while distinguishing DEM from other controls like enrollment restrictions, which block personal devices but do not designate ownership, or compliance policies, which apply only after enrollment. A common trap is confusing DEM with device categories, which are used for grouping, not enrollment control. Remember: DEM is for corporate enrollment without pre-registration—think “Designated Enroller for Managed devices.”
MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of prepare infrastructure for devices. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. 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 uses Microsoft Intune for device management. You need to ensure that only corporate-owned devices can enroll in Intune. Which configuration should you use?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use Device Enrollment Manager (DEM) accounts to enroll devices.
Option C is correct because Device Enrollment Manager (DEM) accounts allow designated users to enroll corporate-owned devices without the device needing to be pre-registered as corporate. Option A is wrong because enrollment restrictions can block personal devices but do not designate corporate ownership. Option B is wrong because a compliance policy is applied after enrollment. Option D is wrong because device categories are used for grouping, not enrollment control.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✓
Use Device Enrollment Manager (DEM) accounts to enroll devices.
Why this is correct
DEM accounts allow enrollment of corporate-owned devices without pre-designation.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
✗
Assign a compliance policy that requires the device to be corporate-owned.
Why it's wrong here
Compliance policies are applied after enrollment.
✗
Create a device category for corporate devices and instruct users to select it during enrollment.
Why it's wrong here
Device categories are for grouping, not enrollment control.
✗
Configure enrollment restrictions to block personally owned devices.
Why it's wrong here
Enrollment restrictions block devices but don't designate corporate ownership.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
→Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
→Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
→Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
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. NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
