MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
Your organization uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 10/11 devices. You need to configure a Windows Autopilot deployment for new devices that are shipped directly to users. The devices must be automatically enrolled in Intune and configured with your organization's standard settings. What is the minimum requirement for the device to be recognized by Windows Autopilot?
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 its hardware hash uploaded to Microsoft Intune.
The minimum requirement for a device to be recognized by Windows Autopilot is that its hardware hash must be uploaded to Microsoft Intune. This hash uniquely identifies the device and allows Autopilot to associate it with the correct deployment profile during the out-of-box experience. Option A is incorrect because while some Autopilot features may require Microsoft Entra ID Premium P2, it is not a minimum requirement for device recognition. Option C is incorrect because the device does not need to be Azure AD registered before shipping; registration occurs during the Autopilot process. Option D is incorrect because joining on-premises Active Directory is not required; Autopilot devices are typically Azure AD joined.
