What Our Users Say

“Autopilot and compliance policy questions were exactly what I needed. The real MD-102 had very similar scenarios. Passed with 780 on my first attempt.”

AW

Alex W.

Endpoint Administrator

“Managing 2000+ devices at work and still almost failed MD-102 the first time because the exam tests specific Intune configurations. MSCertQuiz filled in the gaps. Passed on attempt two.”

KJ

Karen J.

MD-102 Certified

“The Defender for Endpoint questions were the most helpful — I kept confusing it with Defender for Office 365. Clear explanations finally sorted that out.”

MD-102 Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the MD-102 Endpoint Administrator certification

What is the MD-102 certification?
The MD-102 (Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate) is a Microsoft certification that validates your skills in managing modern endpoints using Microsoft Intune. It covers device deployment, configuration, security, and application management across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android platforms.
Is MD-102 the same as Intune certification?
Yes, MD-102 is commonly referred to as the Intune certification because Microsoft Intune is the primary technology covered in the exam. The certification validates your ability to use Intune for endpoint management, device compliance, app deployment, and security configuration.
How hard is the MD-102 exam?
MD-102 is moderately difficult — roughly 30% of first-time candidates fail. It is designed for IT professionals with hands-on experience in endpoint management, and the scenario-based questions test specific Intune configurations rather than general concepts. Most candidates need 6–10 weeks of preparation combining Microsoft Learn modules, hands-on Intune lab time, and realistic practice questions. Common failure points include Conditional Access policy logic, app protection policy scoping, and distinguishing Defender for Endpoint from Defender for Office 365.
What are the prerequisites for MD-102?
There are no formal prerequisites for MD-102, but Microsoft recommends experience with Microsoft 365 workloads, Microsoft Entra ID, and Windows client administration. Familiarity with networking concepts, PowerShell, and endpoint security is also beneficial.
How many questions are on the MD-102 exam?
The MD-102 exam contains 40-60 questions and you have 120 minutes to complete it. Questions include multiple choice, drag-and-drop, case studies, and scenario-based questions. A passing score is 700 out of 1000.
What jobs can I get with MD-102 certification?
The MD-102 certification qualifies you for roles such as Endpoint Administrator, Desktop Support Engineer, IT Administrator, Systems Administrator, Intune Administrator, and Microsoft 365 Administrator. Average salaries for these roles range from $65,000 to $120,000 depending on experience and location.
Is MD-102 worth it in 2026?
Yes, MD-102 is highly valuable in 2026 as organizations continue adopting cloud-based endpoint management and Zero Trust security. With the shift to hybrid work, skilled Endpoint Administrators who can manage devices anywhere are in high demand. The certification demonstrates current, relevant skills to employers.
What replaced MD-100 and MD-101?
MD-102 replaced both MD-100 (Windows Client) and MD-101 (Managing Modern Desktops) exams. Microsoft consolidated these into a single, more comprehensive exam focused on modern endpoint management with Intune rather than traditional on-premises tools.
How much does the MD-102 exam cost in 2026?
The MD-102 exam costs $165 USD in 2026. This is the standard Microsoft Associate-level certification price. Pricing varies by country: approximately ₹4,800 INR in India, £113 GBP in the UK, and €165 EUR in most European markets. Confirm the current price on the official Microsoft Learn scheduling page for your region before booking. Microsoft Ignite, Enterprise Skills Initiative (ESI) for partner organizations, and Microsoft Learn Cloud Skills Challenges occasionally provide free or discounted vouchers.
What is the MD-102 passing score in 2026?
The MD-102 passing score is 700 out of 1000 in 2026. Microsoft uses scaled scoring, so it is not a simple 70% — some questions are weighted more heavily and case studies count for multiple points. Consistently scoring 80%+ on realistic practice tests gives you a comfortable margin on exam day.
Does the MD-102 certification expire?
Yes — MD-102 is a role-based Associate certification and expires one year after the pass date. Renewal is free through a shorter online assessment on Microsoft Learn. The renewal assessment opens 6 months before expiry and you can retake it for free until you pass. Unlike the original $165 exam, renewal assessments are typically 25–35 questions and focus on what has changed in Intune since your last pass.
How is MD-102 different from MS-102?
MD-102 is the Endpoint Administrator certification focused on Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot, device compliance, app protection, and Defender for Endpoint — managing the devices themselves. MS-102 is the Microsoft 365 Administrator certification focused on M365 tenant management, Microsoft Entra ID, Defender XDR, and Purview compliance — managing the cloud tenant. MD-102 administrators manage what is on the devices; MS-102 administrators manage the cloud services those devices connect to. Both are $165 Associate-level certifications with annual renewal. Many enterprise admins eventually earn both because they cover complementary halves of modern Microsoft administration.
How is MD-102 different from AZ-104?
MD-102 covers endpoint and device administration — Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot, device compliance policies, app protection, and Defender for Endpoint. AZ-104 covers Azure cloud infrastructure administration — VMs, virtual networks, storage, Entra ID for Azure, RBAC, and governance. MD-102 is for endpoint and desktop administrators; AZ-104 is for Azure cloud engineers. They cover entirely different roles with minimal technical overlap. Both are $165 Associate-level certifications.
What are the MD-102 exam topics for 2026?
MD-102 covers four domains in 2026: (1) Prepare infrastructure for devices (25–30%) — device enrollment, Entra ID device settings, Windows Autopilot, device profiles. (2) Manage and maintain devices (30–35%) — compliance policies, device configuration, monitoring, Windows updates. (3) Manage applications (15–20%) — app deployment, app protection policies, app configuration, usage monitoring. (4) Protect devices (15–20%) — endpoint security, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, security baselines, data protection.
What is the average MD-102 salary in 2026?
MD-102-certified Endpoint Administrators in the US earn $70,000–$105,000 USD on average in 2026, depending on experience and location. Entry-level desktop support roles with MD-102 start around $55,000–$75,000, mid-level endpoint administrators average $80,000–$100,000, and senior endpoint engineers managing large device fleets reach $105,000–$130,000. MD-102 pairs well with MS-102 (Microsoft 365 Administrator) and SC-200 (Security Operations Analyst) to unlock higher-paying enterprise endpoint security roles.

MD-102 Exam Cost 2026

The MD-102 exam costs $165 USD in 2026. This is the standard Microsoft Associate-level certification price. Pricing varies by country due to Microsoft's market-based pricing — approximately ₹4,800 INR in India, £113 GBP in the UK, and roughly €165 EUR in most European markets. Always confirm the current price on the official Microsoft Learn scheduling page for your region before booking.

There are no formal prerequisites, though Microsoft strongly recommends hands-on Microsoft Intune experience and prior completion of MS-900 or AZ-900 fundamentals. MD-102 is a role-based Associate certification and expires annually — renewal is free via a shorter online assessment on Microsoft Learn. Microsoft Ignite, Enterprise Skills Initiative (ESI), and Microsoft Learn Cloud Skills Challenges occasionally offer free or discounted exam vouchers.

MD-102 vs MS-102: Devices vs Tenant

Two of the most-confused Microsoft administrator certifications. Both are Associate-level and $165, but they cover different halves of modern Microsoft administration.

MD-102MS-102
RoleEndpoint AdministratorMicrosoft 365 Administrator
ManagesDevices (Intune, Autopilot, compliance, app protection, Defender for Endpoint)M365 tenant (Defender XDR, Entra ID, Purview, tenant configuration)

Best forDesktop engineers, endpoint admins, mobility specialistsM365 admins, collaboration platform engineers
Salary (US)$70K–$105K$75K–$115K
Expires?Annual renewal (free)Annual renewal (free)

Many enterprise administrators eventually earn both — they cover complementary halves of modern Microsoft administration. If you mostly work with deploying and securing devices, take MD-102. If you mostly work with M365 tenant policies, identity, and compliance, take MS-102.

MD-102 vs AZ-104: Endpoints vs Azure Cloud

MD-102 covers endpoint and device administration — Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot, device compliance, app protection, and Defender for Endpoint. AZ-104 covers Azure cloud infrastructure — VMs, virtual networks, storage, Entra ID for Azure, RBAC, and governance. MD-102 administrators manage what runs on user devices; AZ-104 administrators manage what runs in the Azure cloud. They cover entirely different roles with minimal technical overlap, but both are $165 Associate-level certifications. Take MD-102 if your role is endpoint or desktop engineering; take AZ-104 if your role is Azure cloud administration.

MD-102 Salary and Career Outlook (2026)

MD-102-certified endpoint administrators in the US earn the following reported salaries in 2026:

  • • Desktop support / IT support (with MD-102): $55,000–$75,000 USD
  • • Endpoint administrator (2–5 yrs): $80,000–$100,000 USD
  • • Senior endpoint engineer / Intune lead: $105,000–$130,000 USD
  • • MD-102 + MS-102 (M365 admin combo): $95,000–$125,000 USD
  • • MD-102 + SC-200 (security-focused endpoint roles): $100,000–$135,000 USD

MD-102 is especially valuable in 2026 as enterprises continue migrating from traditional desktop management (Group Policy, SCCM) to cloud-first management with Microsoft Intune. Remote work and BYOD scenarios have made unified endpoint management a board-level priority — MD-102 signals you can deliver it.

MD-102 Exam Topics 2026: Domain Breakdown
