Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator Associate MD-102 Practice Question

Hybrid Microsoft Entra join allows a Windows client to be joined to the on-premises Active Directory domain and automatically registered in Microsoft Entra ID. Because the computer account exists in both directories, users receive on-premises Group Policy processing while gaining cloud single sign-on and the ability to be enrolled in Intune for modern management. A cloud-only Microsoft Entra join removes the computer from the on-premises domain, so Group Policy would no longer apply. Microsoft Entra registration is intended for personally owned or workgroup devices and does not support domain Group Policy or full device management. A workgroup-joined computer, even if later registered, would still lack domain GPO processing. Therefore, hybrid join best meets all stated requirements.
