Selected Answer: D

I think D is correct. The question says she's logging in using an Active Directory (AD) account, not an Azure Active Directory (AAD) account. If you want to activate the 365 E3 license on a user basis, you need to log in to the PC using your AAD account, not AD. So either she has to login using her AAD account instead, or she could perform an Autopilot-reset to trigger a device-based license activation. It feels like some info is missing in the question, but triggering an Autopilot-reset for a device-based license activation is a possibility and it would explain why she's not trying any of the other methods. So I'd vote for D indeed.

Can't be. You need admin credential for the reset so you cant ask user to do it.

The question must be wrong. It says you have an Active Directory domain, yet all users have Microsoft 365 E3 licenses.

Micorosft 365 E3 doesn't have full Windows 10 license. It can only upgrade Pro to Enterprise. Windows 10 Pro should be activated before applying E3 license. So 365 subscription has nothing to do with Activation. Moreover, question states that all computers already have Windows Enterprise. And non activated computer could be reactivated with GLVK or KMS. Autopilot and MDT are administrator solutions, user can't trigger them. So answer is C

Selected Answer: A

I am taking back my previous answer which is D two (2) months ago. The correct answer is A. Assign a Windows 10 Enterprise license to MHamm, and then activate Computer1. Explanation: To activate Windows 10 on a computer, it must have a valid license. In this scenario, Mia Hamm is using a computer named Computer1 that is not activated. To resolve this issue, we need to ensure that Mia Hamm has a valid Windows 10 Enterprise license and then activate Computer1 using that license. Since all users in the domain have been issued Microsoft 365 E3 licenses, we can assume that Mia Hamm already has a valid license. Therefore, we just need to assign the license to her Active Directory user account and then activate Computer1.

Answer B (redeploying Computer1 using MDT) is not necessary for this scenario since the issue is related to activation and not deployment. Answer C (entering a Volume License Key on Computer1) is not recommended since the organization already has Microsoft 365 E3 licenses, which provide all the necessary licensing for Windows 10 Enterprise. Answer D (instructing Mia Hamm to perform a local AutoPilot Reset on Computer1) is not necessary for this scenario since the issue is related to activation and not configuration.

AutoPilot Reset is a feature in Windows 10 that allows users to reset their device to its factory settings using the cloud-based Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication. This feature enables IT administrators to prepare and configure devices for their users without the need for any physical intervention. When a user initiates an AutoPilot Reset on their device, it removes all user data, settings, and applications from the device and reverts it to its original state as if it was just unboxed. During the reset process, the device is automatically reconfigured and enrolled into AAD, so the user can quickly and easily sign back into the device with their AAD credentials. AutoPilot Reset can be initiated by an end-user or an administrator using Microsoft Endpoint Manager (formerly known as Microsoft Intune). This feature is useful when a device is lost, stolen, or needs to be repurposed.

Answer: A - I think you can't use Autopilot Reset because the user is not an administrator. Autopilot reset scenarios: - Local reset started by IT personnel or other administrators from the organization. - Remote reset started remotely by IT personnel via an MDM service such as Microsoft Intune. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/autopilot/windows-autopilot-reset

Selected Answer: C

Don't be confused because the user has a E3 License. Remove that statement and try to answer the question. First, there is no such thing as an "local autopilot reset". You would do a local reset and then have the user join log in with an O365 Account "Autopilot is set up in the background" to use that "E3" license. None of that was stated, so, the correct answer is C since it already has the Enterprise version on the computer. You can't buy Enterprise, thaf version comes with VLK. Also, the user has a local AD account, not a o354 account which is mandatory for "autopilot".

Selected Answer: D

To ensure that Mia Hamm can activate Computer1, the correct action to take would be to instruct Mia Hamm to perform a local AutoPilot Reset on Computer1, and then activate Computer1. This will ensure that Computer1 is properly activated and ready for use. ***CORRECT*** Option D, instructing Mia Hamm to perform a local AutoPilot Reset on Computer1 and then activating Computer1, is the correct action to take in this scenario as it will ensure that Computer1 is properly activated and ready for use.

***WRONG*** Option A, assigning a Windows 10 Enterprise license to MHamm, may not be necessary as Mia Hamm already has a Microsoft 365 E3 license, which includes a Windows 10 Enterprise license. Option B, redeploying Computer1 using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), may not be necessary as it is not clear that there are any issues with the current deployment of Computer1. Option C, entering a Volume License Key in System Properties on Computer1, may not be necessary as Mia Hamm already has a valid license through her Microsoft 365 E3 subscription.

You can add a computer by joining it to a domain. The computer can belong to one domain only. Add it to the AD, and it will be active on that licensed domain. Source: Microsoft

I think It might be B. She has an E3 license but this info is irrelevant, as she has an Active Directory account and Computer1 is her (not Intune enrolled(I'm assuming as it doesn't specify)) device. Just redeploy Computer1 with MDT and it should be automaticly Activated. Right? Correct me if Im wrong. =)

Cant be D since : "The Autopilot Reset does not support Hybrid Azure AD joined devices; a full device wipe is required. When a hybrid device goes through a full device reset, it may take up to 24 hours for it to be ready to be deployed again. You can expedite this request by re-registering the device" Source : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/autopilot/windows-autopilot-reset I would go with A.

I can't see that the device is AD Joined here. Maybe it was in a Workgroup before the user logged on with her AD (Sync) Account. So i would go for D. She already has an E3 license and Windows 10/11 Enterprise is included.
