Endpoint Administrator Associate (MD-102)

Teams often cite MD-102 when documenting that the administrators who enforce Intune compliance policies, device configuration and Windows Hello for Business have validated, role-relevant skills. CBT Nuggets team reporting adds per-learner progress, completion and completion exports that can serve as audit evidence. Your auditor's control crosswalk decides how the credential formally maps to your framework.

It fits endpoint, desktop and junior systems administrators who run Windows clients and Intune day to day. Based on the linked course lessons, a certified team can own Windows deployment through MDT and Windows Autopilot, Azure AD device registration and join with RBAC, and Intune compliance, configuration and device lifecycle policies across supported platforms. It can also own remote management through Remote Help, Windows Admin Center and PowerShell Remoting, plus device monitoring with Endpoint Analytics and Azure Monitor.

CBT Nuggets Endpoint Administrator Associate (MD-102) courses are built by named expert trainers. Where a course includes hands-on virtual labs or a practice exam mapped to Microsoft's published exam objectives, the course list on this page says so.
