MD-102 Protect devices Practice Question
Your organization uses Windows Autopilot and Microsoft Intune. You need to ensure that during the Autopilot deployment, the device automatically installs a set of required applications (Microsoft 365 Apps, company portal, and a line-of-business app) before the user can access the desktop. Which configuration should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the ESP's ability to block desktop access with compliance policies or scripts, not realizing that only the ESP provides the specific 'block until installed' functionality during Autopilot.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure the Enrollment Status Page (ESP) to block device use until required apps are installed
The Enrollment Status Page (ESP) in Windows Autopilot can be configured to block device use until specified required apps are installed. This ensures that Microsoft 365 Apps, Company Portal, and line-of-business apps are fully deployed before the user reaches the desktop, meeting the requirement of a controlled, app-ready deployment.
