Frequently Asked Questions

Are the MD-102 hands-on labs free?

Project 1 (Deploy Windows with Windows Autopilot) is completely free, including unlimited access to Cert Buddy for that project and the manual GitHub commit workflow. The remaining 4 projects unlock for a one-time payment of $49.

Do I need a Microsoft 365 trial for MD-102 labs?

Yes. MD-102 labs use Microsoft Intune, Entra ID P2, and Defender for Endpoint. You get a tenant via the Microsoft 365 Developer Program (requires a qualifying Visual Studio Professional/Enterprise subscription, or ISV Success/MAICPP membership) or a time-limited Microsoft 365 E5 trial (30 days) — no cloud resource charges either way. Plan ~10–12 hours of lab time so you finish within your tenant’s active window.

How does the GitHub portfolio auto-commit work for MD-102?

When you mark a lab step complete, HandsOnCert commits your configuration screenshots and policy definitions directly to your own GitHub repository via OAuth. Each project gets its own folder with a unique enrollment code.

How long does the MD-102 path take to complete?

The 5 projects take approximately 10 hours total, covering Windows deployment, device enrollment, configuration and compliance, endpoint protection, and application management — the same domains tested on the MD-102 exam.

Is MD-102 a good pairing with SC-300 or AZ-104?

Yes. MD-102 (Endpoint Administrator) focuses on managing devices and apps with Microsoft Intune, SC-300 (Identity and Access Administrator) specializes in Microsoft Entra ID, and AZ-104 (Azure Administrator) covers broader Azure infrastructure. MD-102 pairs especially well with SC-300 for modern-workplace and Microsoft 365 administration roles.

Did MD-102 replace MD-100 and MD-101?

Yes. MD-102 (Endpoint Administrator) consolidated and replaced the retired MD-100 and MD-101 exams. It is now the single associate-level exam for the Endpoint Administrator certification, centered on Microsoft Intune and modern endpoint management.
