Microsoft Endpoint Administrator — Question 259

Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain that syncs with a Microsoft Entra tenant named contoso.com.

You need to deploy 100 Windows 11 devices to contoso.com. The solution must meet the following requirements:

• Ensure that from the devices, users can access shares on an on-premises file server without being prompted for credentials.
• Minimize reliance on the on-premises infrastructure for device identity management.

Which join type should you use?

Answer options

• A. Active Directory domain-joined
• B. Microsoft Entra hybrid joined
• C. Microsoft Entra joined
• D. Microsoft Entra registered

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Microsoft Entra joined, because this option allows devices to authenticate directly with Microsoft Entra, minimizing reliance on on-premises infrastructure while still enabling access to on-premises resources. Options A and B require more dependence on the local Active Directory, and option D does not provide the necessary identity management capabilities.
