Domain breakdown
Manage and maintain devices is the heaviest domain at 28 percent, followed by Prepare infrastructure for devices at 23 percent.
Weights are the midpoints of the vendor's published ranges (for example 20 to 25 percent recorded as 23). Skills measured as of July 24, 2026. The fetched credential page states the exam price varies by region and publishes no USD figure, so the 165 USD cost reflects the standard Microsoft associate exam fee and is not quoted from a fetched page. Duration (100 minutes), passing score (700), retake policy, and annual renewal are sourced from the fetched credential and study-guide pages.
- Prepare infrastructure for devices23%
- Manage and maintain devices28%
- Protect devices18%
- Manage and secure applications17%
- Optimize endpoint operations by using automation, monitoring, and reporting14%
Where to focus: Manage and maintain devices is the single largest area (25 to 30 percent), so spend the most preparation time on Autopilot deployment modes, the Enrollment Status Page, device configuration profiles, Intune Suite add-ons, and remote actions before moving to the smaller protect and apps areas.
