Quick Answer
The answer is Android Enterprise fully managed. This enrollment method is correct because it gives IT full administrative control over corporate-owned devices, allowing apps to be silently and automatically installed via managed Google Play without any user interaction, using required or kiosk app assignments that push down before the device reaches the end user. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of the distinction between enrollment modes—specifically, that fully managed devices are company-owned and zero-touch, whereas work profile or dedicated devices require some user action or are limited to kiosk scenarios. A common trap is confusing fully managed with dedicated (kiosk) mode, but remember: dedicated devices are for single-app or multi-app kiosk use, while fully managed supports full corporate app suites with silent install. Memory tip: “Fully managed = fully automatic; work profile = user must accept.”
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of manage and maintain 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 uses Microsoft Intune to manage Android Enterprise devices. You need to ensure that corporate apps are installed automatically on new devices without user interaction. Which enrollment method should you use?
Android Enterprise fully managed
Fully managed devices allow silent app installation.
Android Enterprise dedicated device
Why wrong: Dedicated devices are for kiosks but still require user interaction for some apps.
Android Legacy device administrator
Why wrong: Legacy DA does not support silent app install.
Android Enterprise work profile
Why wrong: Work profile requires user to accept installation prompts.

Correct answer & explanation
Android Enterprise fully managed
Android Enterprise fully managed (A) is the correct enrollment method because it allows IT to enroll corporate-owned devices into Intune with full device control, enabling automatic, silent installation of required corporate apps without any user interaction. This mode uses the Android Enterprise API to push apps via managed Google Play as required or kiosk apps, ensuring they are installed before the device is handed to the user.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis

Android Enterprise fully managed
Why this is correct
Fully managed devices allow silent app installation.
Related concept

Android Enterprise dedicated device
Why it's wrong here
Dedicated devices are for kiosks but still require user interaction for some apps.
Android Legacy device administrator
Why it's wrong here
Legacy DA does not support silent app install.
Android Enterprise work profile
Why it's wrong here
Work profile requires user to accept installation prompts.
Common exam traps
The trap here is that candidates often confuse 'fully managed' with 'dedicated device' because both are corporate-owned, but dedicated devices lack user association and cannot automatically install user-specific corporate apps without a user context.
Detailed technical explanation
Under the hood, Android Enterprise fully managed uses the Device Policy Controller (DPC) to enforce policies and install apps via the managed Google Play Store, leveraging the `install` action in the `managedConfiguration` payload. A subtle behavior is that if the device is enrolled using QR code or NFC provisioning, the DPC can silently install apps during the out-of-box experience (OOBE) before the user even sees the home screen, which is critical for zero-touch deployments in large organizations.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
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. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.

Same concept, more angles
These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. You manage Android Enterprise devices with Microsoft Intune. You need to ensure that work profile apps are automatically installed when a user enlists their device. What should you configure?
easyWhy A: In Android Enterprise, you can configure 'Auto-enrollment' to automatically install required apps in the work profile when the device enrolls. Option A is incorrect because compliance policies do not install apps. Option C is incorrect because configuration policies do not install apps. Option D is incorrect because the Google Play Store is used for distribution, but the trigger is auto-enrollment.
