About the exam

The MD-102 certification validates skills in deploying, configuring, and managing modern Windows client devices and applications using Microsoft Intune and related services. It covers device enrollment, compliance policies, configuration profiles, application deployment, endpoint security, Windows Autopilot, co-management with Configuration Manager, and update management across diverse operating systems and platforms.

This certification is designed for endpoint administrators who manage devices and client applications in a Microsoft 365 tenant using Microsoft Intune. Candidates should have experience with Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS device management, along with proficiency in configuring security baselines, conditional access, and application protection policies.

Try five practice questions from the app’s current Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator question bank, with answers and explanations.

Prepare infrastructure for devices1 / 5

You are reviewing the Microsoft Intune admin center. You need to find where to configure automatic MDM enrollment for Windows devices joined to Microsoft Entra ID. Identify the correct location for MDM auto-enrollment settings.

AlexFull explanation from Alex

Automatic MDM enrollment enrolls Windows devices into Intune when eligible users join or register devices with Microsoft Entra ID. In the Intune admin center, use Devices > Device onboarding > Enrollment > Windows > Automatic Enrollment, then configure MDM user scope as None, Some, or All. This requires Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2. Exam tip: use the current Intune path when the stem asks for the Intune admin center; Microsoft Entra Mobility is an alternate portal path, not the requested location.

Manage and maintain devices2 / 5

You are configuring Intune to allow a third-party macOS security agent that uses a system extension. Where do you configure the system extension approval policy?

AlexFull explanation from Alex

macOS system extensions run in user space and are the current model for many endpoint security agents. In Intune, create a macOS device configuration policy using the settings catalog and configure System Extensions settings, such as allowed team identifiers or allowed system extensions. Microsoft notes that kernel extensions are being replaced with system extensions and that the old macOS Extensions template is deprecated for new policies. Exam tip: for current Intune macOS extension approvals, think Settings catalog > System Extensions.

Optimize endpoint operations by using automation, monitoring, and reporting3 / 5

PowerShell scripts deployed through Intune automatically re-execute every time the Intune Management Extension checks in.

AlexFull explanation from Alex

False. PowerShell scripts deployed through Intune run once per device by default and do not re-execute on subsequent IME check-ins. Per Microsoft docs: "once the script executes, it doesn't execute again unless there's a change in the script or policy." To force re-execution, modify the script content (changing its hash) or reset execution tracking. The IME checks for new or changed scripts after each reboot, but previously successful scripts are skipped. True is incorrect — scripts are not re-run at every sync. This is a common misconception tested on the exam.

Protect devices4 / 5

You need to identify which blade in the Intune admin center shows the comprehensive device onboarding status for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Click on the correct location.

AlexFull explanation from Alex

The EDR Onboarding Status report in the Intune admin center is accessed from Endpoint security > Endpoint detection and response > EDR Onboarding Status. It provides an onboarding summary chart and a device list with Defender sensor state, onboarding status, management source, last check-in, and user details. It can also be used to deploy a preconfigured EDR onboarding policy. Exam tip: Defender for Endpoint onboarding status is in the Endpoint detection and response node, not Devices > Enrollment or Antivirus.

Manage and secure applications5 / 5

You need to configure Intune to automatically install the Company Portal app on Windows devices enrolled through Autopilot. How should you deploy the Company Portal?

AlexFull explanation from Alex

The Company Portal must be explicitly deployed as a Required Microsoft Store app to Autopilot-enrolled devices — it is NOT auto-installed during Autopilot enrollment. In the Intune admin center, create a Microsoft Store app (new) for Company Portal, set Install behavior to System (device context), and assign it as Required to your Autopilot device group. This ensures it installs before user sign-in. Including it in ESP required apps (the option “Include the Company Portal in the Enrollment Status Page…”) only gates ESP completion but doesn't deploy it. PowerShell scripts (the option “Deploy the Company Portal via a PowerShell script”) are unreliable for store apps.

What's on the exam

Managing and maintaining devices carries the most weight at 25–30%, covering Windows Autopilot deployment, cloud-based upgrade paths, configuration profiles, and remote actions — the day-to-day work of running a fleet. Preparing infrastructure follows at 20–25%, testing Entra ID enrollment and compliance setup before any device ships. Protecting devices and managing applications tie at 15–20% apiece, while automation, monitoring, and reporting closes the blueprint at 10–15%.

The distribution rewards operational depth over one-time setup: more of the exam sits in Autopilot profiles, update rings, and app protection policies than in initial tenant configuration. Candidates who treat automation and Endpoint Analytics as a minor topic underestimate how much of the reporting domain tests PowerShell and Microsoft Graph scripting rather than portal clicks.

Exam format and question types

The exam draws 40–60 questions from a mix of multiple-choice, multiple-select, drag-and-drop, hot-area, and case-study formats inside a 100-minute window. Most items are scenario-based: a device management problem, followed by a decision about which Intune policy, profile, or PowerShell command solves it. Expect several questions built specifically around Windows Autopilot profiles and compliance-versus-configuration policy distinctions.

Common pitfalls

Topics to review: MD-102

  1. 01Autopilot Profiles

    Not understanding Windows Autopilot deployment profiles, enrollment status pages, and self-deploying vs user-driven modes.

  2. 02Compliance vs Config

    Confusing compliance policies (which report status) with configuration profiles (which push settings) in Intune.

  3. 03App Protection

    Struggling with MAM (Mobile Application Management) policies, app protection policies, and their differences from MDM enrollment.

  4. 04Co-management

    Overlooking co-management workload configurations between Configuration Manager and Intune and migration strategies.

  5. 05Update Rings

    Not configuring Windows Update rings, feature update policies, and driver update management correctly in Intune.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator exam?

The MD-102 exam has 50 questions and a 100-minute time limit.

What is the passing score for Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator?

The passing score for the MD-102 exam is 700 / 1000.

Which pitfalls should I review when preparing for Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator?

Topics to review include Autopilot Profiles, Compliance vs Config, App Protection, Co-management, Update Rings. Work through examples to check that you understand the distinctions and can explain your answer.

Is MD-102 the Intune certification?

In practice, yes. Microsoft does not publish an exam called "Intune certification", and MD-102 is the one that tests Intune device management, compliance policies, app protection and Autopilot. If you are looking for a credential covering endpoint management, this is it.

How often do you renew MD-102?

Every year. Microsoft renews it through a free online assessment on Microsoft Learn that opens six months before expiry, so you do not resit the full exam.

Which MD-102 topics carry the most marks?

Managing and maintaining devices is the heaviest area at roughly 28%, followed by infrastructure preparation near 23%, with device protection and application management around 18% each. Automation, monitoring and reporting makes up about 13%.

What happens if you fail MD-102?

A retake is available after 24 hours. Each further attempt needs a 14-day wait, capped at five attempts in any 12-month window.

What pairs well with MD-102?

MS-102 covers the tenant side of Microsoft 365 that MD-102 stops short of, though it is being retired at the end of November 2026. SC-200 is the usual move if the security half of endpoint work interests you more than the deployment half.
