Try 3 Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator MD-102 practice questions
Choose an answer, explore the explanation, and see why the other options are less suitable. Three short scenarios. No sign-in required.
1. Provisioning shared Windows kiosks
A retailer is deploying new Windows 11 kiosks with supported TPM 2.0 hardware at several branches. The devices must join Microsoft Entra ID, enroll in Intune, and complete setup without an employee signing in or being assigned as the primary user. Which Windows Autopilot deployment mode best fits?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: B — Windows Autopilot self-deploying mode for shared devices.
Why B is correct
Windows Autopilot self-deploying mode is intended for shared devices, kiosks, and other deployments without a dedicated user. It uses supported TPM 2.0 hardware and device attestation to authenticate the device during provisioning. With the required configuration, the device joins Microsoft Entra ID and enrolls in Intune without a user signing in during deployment. Intune can then apply assigned applications and device policies before the kiosk becomes available. The mode supports Microsoft Entra join rather than hybrid join, matching the scenario.
Why the other options are less suitable
- A — User-driven mode: User-driven deployment expects a user to authenticate during setup and associates the experience with that user. It is suitable for personally assigned corporate PCs, not a kiosk provisioned without any employee sign-in.
- C — Pre-provisioned deployment: Pre-provisioning lets a technician perform an initial phase before the user finishes setup. It can accelerate assigned-user deployments, but the requirement here is to provision a shared device without a user phase.
- D — Existing-devices deployment: This scenario helps organizations prepare already deployed machines for a subsequent Autopilot setup. The retailer is receiving new kiosk devices and needs a userless deployment mode rather than an existing-device reinstallation workflow.
Key takeaway: Self-deploying Autopilot is designed for supported, shared Microsoft Entra-joined devices with minimal user interaction.

2. Accelerating a critical Windows security fix
An enterprise uses an Intune Windows update ring that defers routine quality updates for validation. A newly released, supported critical security update must be installed on a set of eligible Windows 11 devices as quickly as possible, without changing the normal monthly update policy. Which configuration best meets this one-time requirement?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: D — An expedited Windows quality-update policy.
Why D is correct
Microsoft Intune expedite policies accelerate the installation of supported critical or security quality updates. They can bypass normal update deferrals for the targeted eligible devices. That lets administrators address an urgent vulnerability without changing the existing monthly update ring or its future deployment schedule. A targeted expedite policy is appropriate when normal rollout timing would be too slow. The administrator must confirm update eligibility, device prerequisites, and deployment results.
Why the other options are less suitable
- A — Changing the update ring: Reducing deferrals could cause routine quality updates to reach a broader device population earlier. It changes normal servicing behavior instead of targeting the emergency patch independently.
- B — Feature-update policy: Feature-update policies govern deployment of Windows operating system feature releases. They do not specifically expedite an urgent cumulative security quality update.
- C — Driver-update policy: Driver-update policies manage hardware driver packages and related approval workflows. They are not the policy surface for accelerating a critical Windows security quality update.
Key takeaway: Use an expedite policy for an urgent supported quality update without rewriting routine update-ring settings.
3. Protecting work data on personal phones
Employees access Outlook and other supported Microsoft 365 apps from personal iOS and Android phones, but company policy prohibits MDM enrollment of those devices. IT must require an app PIN and prevent corporate data from being copied into unmanaged personal apps. Which approach meets these requirements while leaving the phones unenrolled?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: A — Intune app protection policies without device enrollment.
Why A is correct
Intune app protection policies can protect organizational information at the application layer without enrolling a personal phone in MDM. For supported mobile apps, administrators can require an app PIN and restrict cut, copy, and paste into unmanaged apps. The policy is applied to work data in managed applications rather than taking full management of the employee’s device. This directly fits a bring-your-own-device scenario where users retain control of personal device management. Microsoft also recommends appropriate Conditional Access controls, and Android may require the Company Portal app and Microsoft Entra device registration without MDM enrollment.
Why the other options are less suitable
- B — Device compliance policies: Device compliance evaluation generally depends on a managed-device posture and does not itself enforce app-level clipboard restrictions. Requiring device compliance also conflicts with the requirement to leave personal phones unenrolled.
- C — Device configuration profiles: MDM configuration profiles manage device settings after device enrollment, rather than just corporate data inside an app. That broad device management is expressly excluded by the company’s BYOD policy.
- D — Windows Autopilot restrictions: Windows Autopilot concerns Windows device provisioning and enrollment scenarios. It does not implement app-level PIN and data-transfer policies in Outlook for unenrolled iOS or Android phones.
Key takeaway: Use Intune app protection for organizational data on supported BYOD apps; full-device MDM enrollment is not required.

What our students say
“I was having trouble with some of the MD-102 topics, especially Windows Autopilot and Intune enrollment. The ExamsDigest practice questions helped me understand the different deployment methods and figure out which areas I needed to review. The explanations were really helpful.”
Nathan Walker
✓ Verified Review
“The practice exams covered a good mix of endpoint management and security scenarios. I found the questions about device compliance, Windows updates, and app protection particularly useful. I also liked that the incorrect answers were explained instead of just showing the right one.”
Laura Bennett
✓ Verified Review
“I work with Microsoft 365 regularly, but I wasn't very confident with Intune and endpoint security. The ExamsDigest practice exams helped me connect what I'd studied with real administration scenarios. It was much more useful than just memorizing definitions.”

Your questions, answered.
Which Microsoft certification exam does this practice target?
These examples target MD-102: Managing and Securing Microsoft 365 Endpoints by using Intune, required for the Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator Associate certification. Microsoft has announced revised English-language objectives effective October 27, 2026. Before purchasing, compare the product’s stated contents with the official guide for your exam date and language. The three samples alone do not confirm that every paid question has been independently audited against the new blueprint.
Who is MD-102 practice suitable for?
MD-102 targets intermediate-level endpoint administrators who deploy, configure, secure and maintain devices in Microsoft 365 environments. Experience with Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Entra ID, Windows client deployment and non-Windows device administration is important. The official candidate profile also includes Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Windows Autopilot and Windows 365. Candidates with less hands-on experience should combine practice questions with Microsoft Learn and authorized administrative exercises.
How should I combine MD-102 practice questions with hands-on experience?
Use practice questions alongside Microsoft Learn and exercises in a tenant you are authorized to administer. Compare Windows Autopilot deployment modes, test device configuration policies, examine Windows update management, and review app protection policies for personal devices. Investigate how compliance and Conditional Access affect device access. These are independent study recommendations; they do not imply that Microsoft licenses, hosted laboratories or managed endpoint environments are included with the practice pack.
What should I do after answering an MD-102 practice question incorrectly?
Identify which requirement your selected option failed to satisfy. For example, distinguish self-deploying Autopilot from user-driven enrollment, expedited quality updates from feature updates, or app protection from full-device management. Read the explanations for every option, revisit the corresponding Microsoft documentation and try another scenario. Focus on understanding deployment scope, security implications and operational behavior rather than memorizing letters or treating your practice score as an official passing prediction.
Does this preview reproduce the official MD-102 examination format?
No. The preview contains three original scenarios with four options and one correct answer each. Microsoft’s MD-102 examination is proctored, lasts 100 minutes and may contain interactive components or other question types. Microsoft does not publish the exact question mix in advance. The official exam sandbox demonstrates the assessment interface. These examples do not reproduce the full examination experience, its question distribution or every feature of the paid ExamsDigest practice pack.
Does completing this practice earn the Endpoint Administrator Associate certification?
No. Completing or purchasing independent practice questions does not award a Microsoft certification. Candidates must pass the official MD-102 examination and meet Microsoft’s applicable certification program requirements to earn the Endpoint Administrator Associate credential. Associate certifications generally require renewal every 12 months. Practice access and official exam registration are separate activities. Check the product’s confirmed commercial terms for any voucher arrangements rather than assuming an official exam booking is included.
30-day conditional refund policy
Eligible requests must be made within 30 calendar days, with no more than 20% of any included simulator completed. The purchase must not already be refunded or under a payment dispute or chargeback. Other provisions apply; mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
