20+ practice questions focused on Manage applications — one of the most tested topics on the Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator MD-102 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Manage applications PracticeA company uses Microsoft Intune to manage iOS and Android devices. Users report that some line-of-business (LOB) apps fail to install with error '0x87D1041C'. The apps are signed and deployed as device-required installs. What is the most likely cause?
Explanation: Error 0x87D1041C in Intune indicates a signature mismatch. When a line-of-business (LOB) app is deployed as a device-required install, the app binary must be signed with a certificate that has been uploaded to the Intune console. If the signing certificate used to sign the app differs from the one uploaded, Intune rejects the installation because it cannot verify the app's integrity and trust chain.
An organization uses Microsoft Intune for Windows 10 device management. They need to deploy a custom Windows app (.exe) to kiosk devices. The app requires admin privileges to install, and the devices are shared. Which deployment method should be used?
Explanation: Option A is correct because Win32 apps in Microsoft Intune can be configured with the install context set to 'system', which grants the necessary admin privileges for installation and ensures the app is installed for all users on shared kiosk devices. This method uses the Intune Management Extension to run the installer with SYSTEM account privileges, bypassing user-level restrictions and supporting per-machine installations.
You manage a fleet of Android Enterprise devices. You need to ensure that only approved apps from the managed Play Store can be installed. What configuration should you enable?
Explanation: Option C is correct because a device restriction policy in Microsoft Intune allows you to restrict app installation to only the managed Google Play store. By configuring the 'Allow only managed Google Play apps' setting, you ensure that users cannot install apps from unapproved sources, effectively controlling the app ecosystem on Android Enterprise devices.
A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 10 devices. They deployed a Win32 app as 'required' but some devices show 'pending install'. The app is configured with a detection rule that checks for a registry key. What should you check first?
Explanation: Option D is correct because the most common reason for a 'pending install' status when a detection rule is configured is that the rule is incorrectly detecting the app as already installed. Intune evaluates the detection rule before attempting installation; if the rule finds the registry key (even if the app is not fully functional), Intune skips the installation and reports 'pending' or 'installed' without actually deploying the app. This is a frequent misconfiguration where the detection rule is too broad or references a key that exists from a previous installation or unrelated software.
You need to deploy a Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise suite to Windows 10 devices using Intune. Users are unlicensed. How should you proceed?
Explanation: Option D is correct because when users are unlicensed, the Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise suite cannot be deployed via the built-in Intune app type (which relies on license activation). Creating a Win32 app package allows you to bundle the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) with a configuration XML that sets the product ID to 'O365ProPlusRetail' and disables automatic licensing checks, enabling deployment to unlicensed devices.
