Five real Endpoint Administrator projects mapped directly to the MD-102 exam objectives. Mark a step complete and HandsOnCert commits the evidence — Autopilot profiles, compliance policies, app deployments — straight to your own GitHub repo. The portfolio employers actually click into.
$49 one-time · Project 1 free · No subscription
Every project maps to an official MD-102 exam domain. Each one ends with evidence committed to your GitHub repo automatically.
Create a Windows Autopilot deployment profile, configure the Enrollment Status Page, register a device using its hardware hash, and complete a user-driven Autopilot deployment of Windows 11. Commit your Autopilot profile configuration and enrollment evidence.
Deploy Windows client — 25-30% of examConfigure automatic enrollment in Microsoft Intune, set enrollment restrictions by platform, join a Windows device to Microsoft Entra ID, and confirm it appears as managed. Commit your enrollment configuration and device inventory screenshots.
Manage, Maintain & Protect Devices — 40-45% of examCreate a device configuration profile from the settings catalog, build a compliance policy defining minimum OS and BitLocker requirements, and assign both to a device group. Commit your configuration profile and compliance policy definitions.
Manage, Maintain & Protect Devices — 40-45% of examConnect Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to Intune, configure a device risk-based Conditional Access policy, and require compliant devices for access to Microsoft 365. Commit your Conditional Access policy and Defender connector evidence.
Manage Identity & Compliance — 15-20% of examAdd a Microsoft Store app and a Win32 (.intunewin) line-of-business app to Intune, configure required and available assignments, and verify installation on a managed device. Commit your app deployment configuration and install status.
Manage Applications — 10-15% of examEvery completed step auto-commits evidence to your own repo. No fake portfolio templates — real configs, real screenshots, real history.
No simulators. You work in the actual Microsoft Intune admin center and Microsoft Entra portal — the same consoles you'll use on the job and on the MD-102 exam.
Stuck on a step or an exam concept? Cert Buddy is trained on MD-102 objectives and helps you debug and understand — not just copy-paste.
Every MD-102 lab runs in a Microsoft 365 tenant (Developer Program or a time-limited E5 trial) with Intune and Entra ID P2 — no cloud charges. Plan ~10–12 hours so you finish within your tenant’s active window.
Get the full MD-102 lab guide as a PDF — step-by-step instructions, screenshots to capture, and an exam quick-reference section.
$49 once. No subscription, no recurring charges. Or get All-Access to all 23 cert paths for $199.
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.
