A worked example

Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

1-7Operating Systems

A technician wants new PCs to automatically join a cloud directory service and receive configuration from a management platform, without manually setting workgroup or domain membership on each device. Which deployment scenario does this?

Microsoft Entra ID and MDM automatic device enrollment and setupCorrect · your answerCorrect: this scenario is defined by automatic directory join plus MDM-based configuration.
Windows Autopilot customized out-of-box experience deploymentAutopilot customizes the first-run experience and pre-configures apps and settings, but the directory join itself is handled separately, not the defining feature described here.
Provisioning package built using the Configuration Designer toolProvisioning packages apply settings to devices as an alternative to MDM, which is the opposite of what the scenario describes.
In-place upgrade performed using the Windows Setup programIn-place upgrade migrates the existing OS version and settings; it does not perform directory enrollment.
Bare metal deployment using a freshly imaged installationBare metal deployment wipes or provisions a device with a fresh image and does not itself handle directory join or MDM configuration.

Correct.

Checked against learn.microsoft.com, July 2026

Concept

Client devices can be brought into a directory-based network configuration through several deployment paths, and each path handles domain or directory joining differently.

Why A

The Microsoft Entra ID / MDM scenario automatically joins the device to the directory service and applies configuration through the management platform, removing the need to manually set workgroup or domain membership.

Source

Microsoft Entra ID / MDM The device is automatically joined to Microsoft Entra ID and configured by MDM.
