The tests include direct conceptual questions, realistic scenarios, configuration decisions, practical application questions, troubleshooting problems, security questions, comparison questions, workflow questions, and best-action decisions.

Sample Practice Question

An organization plans to deploy new Windows 11 devices by using Windows Autopilot device preparation.

A test device meets the operating-system requirements, and the user is included in the group assigned to the device-preparation policy. However, during the out-of-box experience, the device displays the traditional Enrollment Status Page instead of the Windows Autopilot device preparation progress experience.

The administrator discovers that the device is already registered as a Windows Autopilot device and has a traditional Windows Autopilot deployment profile assigned.

What should the administrator do?

A. Create a dynamic device group and assign the device-preparation policy to it

B. Deregister the device from Windows Autopilot and ensure that no traditional Autopilot profile is assigned

C. Configure the device to use Microsoft Entra hybrid join

D. Add an Enrollment Status Page to the device-preparation policy

Correct Answer

B. Deregister the device from Windows Autopilot and ensure that no traditional Autopilot profile is assigned

Explanation for Option A

This is incorrect. Windows Autopilot device preparation uses enrollment-time grouping to add the device directly to an assigned device security group during enrollment. Creating a dynamic device group would not resolve the immediate problem caused by the traditional Windows Autopilot registration and assigned profile.

Explanation for Option B

This is correct. When a device is registered as a traditional Windows Autopilot device and has an Autopilot deployment profile assigned, that profile takes precedence over the Windows Autopilot device preparation policy. Deregistering the device and removing the traditional profile allows the device-preparation workflow to run during the out-of-box experience.

Explanation for Option C

This is incorrect. Windows Autopilot device preparation supports Microsoft Entra join and does not support Microsoft Entra hybrid join. Changing to hybrid join would introduce an unsupported identity configuration and would not resolve the profile-precedence issue.

Explanation for Option D

This is incorrect. Windows Autopilot device preparation does not use the traditional Enrollment Status Page. It provides its own setup progress experience and deployment reporting. Seeing the Enrollment Status Page is an indication that the device is probably running a traditional Windows Autopilot deployment instead.

Overall Explanation

The device is entering the traditional Windows Autopilot workflow because its existing Windows Autopilot registration and deployment profile take precedence over the device-preparation policy.

Windows Autopilot device preparation uses a different architecture. During enrollment, the device is automatically added to a predefined assigned security group through enrollment-time grouping. Selected applications and PowerShell scripts can then be delivered during setup.

The device-preparation experience does not use the traditional Enrollment Status Page. Therefore, seeing the Enrollment Status Page is an important troubleshooting clue that a traditional Autopilot profile is being applied.

The administrator should deregister the device from traditional Windows Autopilot and verify that no classic deployment profile remains assigned before testing the device-preparation workflow again.
