MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 10 devices. They are deploying a Win32 app using the Intune Management Extension. The app requires a reboot and must ensure that the installation completes successfully before the device is allowed to restart. Which TWO deployment settings should be configured?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse 'Device restart behavior' with a simple toggle for requiring a reboot, missing that 'No specific action' is the correct choice when the app itself manages the reboot, and they overlook the need to also configure 'Return codes' for 'Soft reboot' as 'No action' to prevent the IME from misinterpreting a soft reboot code as an installation failure.
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
✓
Set 'Device restart behavior' to 'No specific action'
Setting 'Device restart behavior' to 'No specific action' allows Intune to complete the Win32 app installation without forcing an immediate reboot, which is necessary when the app itself handles the reboot or when you want to control the restart timing. This setting prevents the Intune Management Extension from triggering a restart before the installation is fully complete, ensuring the app's post-installation processes (e.g., file copies, registry writes) finish successfully.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable 'Delivery optimization' for the app
Why it's wrong here
Delivery optimization is for download, not restart behavior.
- ✗
Set 'Device restart behavior' to 'Require device restart'
Why it's wrong here
Would force a restart prematurely.
- ✓
Set 'Device restart behavior' to 'No specific action'
Why this is correct
Prevents Intune from forcing a reboot, allowing installation to complete.
- ✗
Configure 'Supersedence' to replace the app
Why it's wrong here
Supersedence is for app updates, not restart control.
- ✓
Configure 'Return codes' for 'Soft reboot' as 'No action'
Why this is correct
Prevents a soft reboot return code from triggering a restart.
