MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
A company uses Intune to manage Windows 10 devices. They need to deploy a line-of-business (LOB) Win32 app to devices that are not assigned to any user. The app requires installation in the system context. Which installation behavior should be configured in the Intune Win32 app deployment?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse 'System' with 'Device' or 'LoggedOnUser', not realizing that 'Device' is not a valid installation behavior and that 'System' is the only option that guarantees installation without a user session.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
System
(System) is correct because the Win32 app must run in the system context to install without a user session, which is required for devices not assigned to any user. In Intune, the 'System' installation behavior runs the installer as the local SYSTEM account, enabling silent, elevated installations regardless of user presence.
