Question 1 Domain 3 Protect devices

Your network contains an Active Directory domain.

You deploy a Microsoft Entra tenant.

Another administrator configures the domain to synchronize to the Microsoft Entra tenant.

You discover that 10 user accounts in an organizational unit (OU) are NOT synchronized to the Microsoft Entra tenant. All the other user accounts synchronized successfully.

You review Microsoft Entra Connect Health and discover that all the user account synchronizations completed successfully You need to ensure that the 10 user accounts are synchronized to the Microsoft Entra tenant.

Solution: From Microsoft Entra Connect Sync, you modify the Microsoft Entra credentials. Does this meet the goal?

Correct Answer B
Explanation

This solution does NOT meet the goal. The 10 user accounts are not synchronizing because of a scoping or filtering issue at the synchronization level, not because of incorrect Entra credentials. Modifying the Microsoft Entra credentials would not affect which accounts get synchronized from on-premises Active Directory. This action is unnecessary and would not resolve the synchronization issue.

Question 2 Domain 1 Prepare infrastructure for devices

You have a Microsoft Entra tenant that contains the devices shown in the following table.

Question 2 exhibit

On which devices can you implement Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM)?

Correct Answer A
Explanation

Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) is supported on Windows devices enrolled in Intune. EPM allows users to run applications with elevated privileges without needing local administrator rights, and it is currently available for Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices. macOS and mobile devices do not support EPM at this time.

Question 3 Domain 5 Optimize endpoint operations by using automation, monitoring, and reporting

You ate implementing Microsoft Intune Suite.

You enroll devices in Intune as shown in the following table.

Question 3 exhibit

The performance of which devices can be analyzed by using Endpoint analytics?

Correct Answer B

Question 4 Domain 1 Prepare infrastructure for devices

You have 200 computers that run Windows 10. The computers are joined to Microsoft Entra and enrolled in Microsoft Intune. You need to enable self-service password reset on the sign-in screen. Which settings should you configure from the Microsoft Intune admin center?

Correct Answer C
Explanation

To enable self-service password reset (SSPR) on the Windows 10 sign-in screen, configure Windows 10 sign-in options or create a device configuration profile with the password reset setting enabled. This allows users to reset their password directly from the sign-in screen without contacting support.

Question 5 Domain 4 Manage and secure applications

Your company has a Microsoft 365 subscription.

All the users in the finance department own personal devices that run iOS or Android. All the devices are enrolled in Microsoft Intune.

The finance department adds new users each month.

The company develops a mobile application named App1 for the finance department users.

You need to ensure that only the finance department users can download Appl.

What should you do first?

Correct Answer D
Explanation

To ensure only finance department users can access App1, you should first create a security group containing the finance department users. This group can then be used in subsequent steps to assign the app in Intune, restrict access via Conditional Access policies, or manage app distribution. Creating the group is the foundational first step before any access control can be implemented.

Question 6 Domain 3 Protect devices

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription. You use Microsoft Intune to manage devices. You need to review details about device wipes. Which report should you review?

Correct Answer D
Explanation

To review details about device wipes, you should review the Device wipe report. This Intune report provides comprehensive information about all device wipe operations, including which devices were wiped, when they were wiped, who initiated the wipe, and the status of each wipe operation.

Question 7 Domain 1 Prepare infrastructure for devices

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that contains a user named User1 and uses Microsoft Intune Suite.

You use Microsoft Intune to manage devices that run Windows 11.

User1 provides remote support for 75 devices in the marketing department.

You need to add User1 to the Remote Desktop Users group on each marketing department device.

What should you configure?

FAQ

MD-102 Exam FAQ

Common questions about the exam itself

What background do I need before attempting MD-102?
You need hands-on experience with Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Intune. Practical experience deploying and configuring Windows 10 or 11 clients is essential. Many candidates without real lab experience in Intune struggle significantly, so setting up a free Microsoft 365 developer tenant and spending 20 to 30 hours on configuration exercises before the exam is strongly recommended.
Why is domain 2, Manage and maintain devices, considered the hardest part?
This domain covers about 30 to 35 percent of the exam and tests Intune configuration in significant depth. The exam assumes you can configure complex policies, troubleshoot device issues, and understand the interactions between different Intune features. Without hands-on experience, the level of detail required makes this section challenging.
How long does MD-102 certification stay valid?
Your MD-102 certification expires one year from the date you pass. You renew it free of charge by passing an online assessment on Microsoft Learn focused on current topics in the exam domains. You do not need to retake the full paid exam to renew.
How long should I spend preparing for MD-102?
Most candidates with hands-on Intune or modern device management experience need 6 to 10 weeks of structured study. If you have no lab experience, add extra time for setting up a dev tenant and running practical exercises. People trying to pass it without any practical Intune work consistently report higher failure rates.
What happens on exam day for MD-102?
You have 100 minutes to complete the exam, which contains multiple question types including multiple choice, drag and drop, scenario-based questions, and interactive simulations. The exam is proctored either online through Pearson VUE or at a physical test centre, with a proctor monitoring you throughout.
What if I fail MD-102? Can I retake it quickly?
Yes, you can retake the exam as soon as 24 hours after your first attempt. There is no waiting period mandated by Microsoft, though you do pay the full exam fee each time you sit it. Many people pass on a second or third attempt after focused study on their weak areas.
Does MD-102 require any prerequisite certifications?
No specific prior certifications are required. However, Microsoft strongly recommends hands-on experience with Microsoft Entra ID and Intune before attempting the exam. Some people complete the Azure Administrator (AZ-104) or Administrator (MS-102) certifications first to build foundational cloud knowledge.
How does MD-102 relate to MS-102?
MD-102 focuses on endpoint and device management using Intune, Windows Autopilot, and modern deployment tools. MS-102 focuses on broader Microsoft 365 tenant administration covering Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and compliance. Many enterprise IT administrators hold both certifications since they cover complementary skill sets.
What job role does MD-102 prepare me for?
MD-102 certifies you as an Endpoint Administrator, also called a desktop administrator or modern workplace engineer. These professionals manage, deploy, and secure Windows and other devices at scale in corporate environments using cloud-based management tools. The role sits at the associate level and is a foundation for moving into endpoint management specialist or enterprise administrator positions.
How does MD-102 differ from the older MD-100 and MD-101 exams?
MD-102 replaced the older MD-100 and MD-101 exams. It is entirely focused on modern cloud-based management via Microsoft Intune and Entra ID rather than on-premises System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). If you have SCCM experience from legacy exams, you will need to retrain on Intune-based approaches for MD-102.
