MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Android Enterprise devices. They have a requirement to deploy a set of apps that are critical for business operations. Which TWO app deployment policies should the administrator configure to ensure the apps are always available and up-to-date?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse 'Available for enrolled devices' with 'Required', not realizing that only 'Required' forces installation, while 'Available' relies on user action, which fails the 'always available' requirement.

Enable 'Auto-update' for the apps in the managed Play Store.
Enabling 'Auto-update' for apps in the managed Play Store ensures that critical business apps are automatically updated to the latest version without user intervention, maintaining security and functionality. Option B is correct because assigning apps as 'Required' to a device group forces installation on all targeted devices, guaranteeing that the apps are always present for business operations.
