MD-101 Windows Autopilot Deployment 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the primary purpose of Windows Autopilot in an enterprise environment?
- To reimage devices using PXE boot
- To automate device provisioning and setup without IT intervention (Correct answer)
- To deploy software updates to managed devices
- To configure BitLocker encryption remotely
Correct answer: To automate device provisioning and setup without IT intervention
Windows Autopilot automates the provisioning and setup of new Windows devices so users can be productive without IT needing to image the hardware.
Question 2: Which deployment mode allows a user to complete the Autopilot setup experience themselves, joining the device to Azure AD?
- Pre-provisioned (White Glove)
- Self-deploying mode
- User-driven mode (Correct answer)
- Hybrid Azure AD join mode
Correct answer: User-driven mode
User-driven mode lets the end user complete the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) and join the device to Azure AD with their credentials.
Question 3: Which Autopilot deployment mode is designed for kiosk or shared devices that require no user affinity?
- User-driven Azure AD join
- Hybrid Azure AD join
- Self-deploying mode (Correct answer)
- Pre-provisioned mode
Correct answer: Self-deploying mode
Self-deploying mode provisions a device with no user affinity, making it ideal for kiosks, digital signage, and shared devices.
Question 4: What tool is used to upload hardware hashes to Microsoft Intune for Autopilot registration?
- Windows Configuration Designer
- Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo PowerShell script (Correct answer)
- Microsoft Endpoint Manager Admin Center CSV import only
- Azure AD Connect
Correct answer: Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo PowerShell script
The Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo PowerShell script collects the hardware hash from a device and can upload it directly to Intune.
Question 5: During Windows Autopilot Pre-provisioning (White Glove), at which stage does the technician complete their portion?
- After the user signs in for the first time
- Before the device is shipped to the user, during the Technician Flow (Correct answer)
- During the user's first OOBE experience
- After all Intune policies are applied post-enrollment
Correct answer: Before the device is shipped to the user, during the Technician Flow
In White Glove, the technician flow runs before the device reaches the user, applying device-targeted apps and policies so the user experience is fast.
Question 6: What must be configured in Intune to ensure a specific Autopilot profile is assigned to a group of devices?
- A compliance policy targeting the device group
- A device configuration profile with Autopilot settings
- An Autopilot deployment profile assigned to a dynamic or static device group (Correct answer)
- A Windows Update ring targeting the device group
Correct answer: An Autopilot deployment profile assigned to a dynamic or static device group
An Autopilot deployment profile must be created and assigned to an Azure AD device group so enrolled devices receive the correct OOBE customization.
