What do you need to consider when evaluating MDM solutions?

  1. Support for watchOS
  2. Pricing structure and subscription model
  3. A device's life cycle and trade-in value

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When evaluating Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, a critical factor to consider is the pricing structure and subscription model. Organizations must assess their budget, the number of devices to manage, and projected growth to ensure the MDM solution is cost-effective and scalable. This includes understanding per-device licensing fees, subscription tiers, and additional costs for features.
While support for watchOS (option A) may be relevant for specific use cases, it's not a universal consideration for all MDM evaluations. A device's life cycle and trade-in value (option C) pertains to hardware management, not the MDM solution itself. The Apple Platform Deployment Guide emphasizes aligning MDM costs with organizational needs, making pricing structure a key evaluation criterion.

Which is a deployment model to consider as part of your device management goals?

  1. Application Programming Interface (API)
  2. Over-the-air (OTA) enrollment
  3. One-to-one

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The one-to-one deployment model, also referred to as personally enabled, involves assigning a single device to an individual user, allowing personalization while maintaining organizational oversight via MDM. This model is a strategic choice for organizations aiming to balance user flexibility with management control, often used in education or enterprise settings. Application Programming Interface (API) (option A) is a technical tool, not a deployment model. Over-the-air (OTA) enrollment (option B) is a method of enrolling devices, not a deployment model defining ownership or usage. The Apple Platform Deployment Guide identifies one-to-one as a core deployment model alongside shared and BYOD scenarios.

Which is an important user authentication feature of an MDM solution that you should consider?

  1. Support and integration with your identity provider or directory service
  2. Support for future versions of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS
  3. Support for the BYOD deployment model

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A key feature to consider in an MDM solution is its ability to integrate with an organization's existing identity provider (IdP) or directory service (e.g., Active Directory, Azure AD, or Google Workspace). This ensures seamless user authentication, leveraging single sign-on (SSO) and existing credentials, which enhances security and user experience. Support for future OS versions (option B) is important for compatibility but not specifically an authentication feature. Support for BYOD (option C) is a deployment consideration, not an authentication feature. The Apple Platform Deployment Guide highlights IdP integration as critical for authentication in MDM deployments.

Which aspect of your organization's infrastructure should you evaluate to ensure that your organization meets the network roaming needs of users throughout a building?

  1. Number of devices per user
  2. Wi-Fi coverage and capacity
  3. Adequate number of access points per device
  4. Sources of interference caused by construction materials

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To support network roaming--where devices maintain connectivity while moving throughout a building--evaluating Wi-Fi coverage and capacity is essential. This involves assessing signal strength, bandwidth availability, and the ability of the wireless network to handle multiple devices seamlessly. Proper placement and power of access points ensure uninterrupted service. Number of devices per user (option A) is unrelated to roaming. Adequate access points per device (option C) is a specific detail within coverage and capacity, not the overarching aspect. Sources of interference (option D) is a factor to consider but secondary to overall coverage and capacity. The Apple Platform Deployment Guide stresses Wi-Fi infrastructure evaluation for mobility needs.

Apple Platform Deployment Guide (Chapter: Network Infrastructure).



Which type of network uses individual user credentials or device- and/or user-based certificates to control who or which devices can use the network?

  1. Provisioning network
  2. WPA2 Personal network
  3. WPA2 Enterprise network

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

WPA2 Enterprise networks utilize individual user credentials (e.g., username and password) or device- and/or user-based certificates for authentication, typically via protocols like EAP-TLS or PEAP, integrated with a RADIUS server. This provides granular control over network access, ideal for organizational settings. A provisioning network (option A) is a temporary network for device setup,

not a security standard. WPA2 Personal (option B) uses a shared passphrase, lacking individual authentication. The Apple Platform Deployment Guide specifies WPA2 Enterprise for secure, user- specific network access in managed environments.
