Each publication has a different job. Start with the guide that matches what you need now, or use them in sequence for the most complete JITA learning experience.
Build working judgment for Microsoft Intune endpoint management and security.
This Field Guide develops a working mental model of Microsoft Intune endpoint management and security. You will connect choose device join, registration, enrollment, and Windows Autopilot approaches, configure compliance, configuration, update, security, and application policies, deploy and manage applications, scripts, remediation, and endpoint settings, and apply attack-surface reduction, app control, endpoint security, and least-privilege controls. You are not just memorizing feature names; you are learning what owns the requirement, what can fail, and how to verify the outcome.
- enrollment/join issue vs policy-assignment issue
- configuration policy vs compliance or endpoint-security control
- reported policy assignment vs effective device state
Prove your MD-102 judgment across Microsoft Intune endpoint management and security under exam-style conditions.
This Exam Preparation Guide tests whether your understanding of Microsoft Intune endpoint management and security survives realistic decision pressure. You will practice separating enrollment/join issue vs policy-assignment issue, configuration policy vs compliance or endpoint-security control, and reported policy assignment vs effective device state. Each scenario is designed to make you identify the governing fact, reject the nearest plausible alternative, and explain the evidence that keeps the correct answer correct.

- configuration policy vs compliance or endpoint-security control
- reported policy assignment vs effective device state
Understand it first. Then prove you can apply it.
The Field Guide builds the understanding. Use it when you need the architecture, mechanics, dependencies, tradeoffs, failure paths, and verification logic behind the certification.
The Exam Preparation Guide tests the judgment. Use it when you need to practice under exam-style conditions, distinguish close answers, and understand why the correct answer survives changed facts.
