MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 10 devices. Users report that a LOB app deployed as a required install fails to install on some devices. The app is configured with a dependency on another app. What should the administrator verify first?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often assume the issue is with the app itself (signing or connectivity) rather than recognizing that Intune's dependency enforcement means the parent app will not install until the dependency is successfully deployed.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Check if the dependency app is assigned and installed successfully
When a required LOB app fails to install, the most common cause is that its dependency app is not present or not successfully installed on the target device. Intune enforces dependency apps to be installed before the parent app, and if the dependency is missing or failed, the parent app installation will not proceed. The administrator should first verify that the dependency app is assigned to the same device groups and has a successful installation status.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Ensure the devices have internet connectivity
Why it's wrong here
Connectivity is important but not the first thing to check when dependencies are configured.
- ✗
Verify that the app is signed with a trusted certificate
Why it's wrong here
Signing errors would show a different failure, not a dependency-related issue.
- ✗
Recreate the deployment policy
Why it's wrong here
Recreating the policy is unnecessary; the issue is likely with the dependency.
- ✓
Check if the dependency app is assigned and installed successfully
Why this is correct
Dependencies must be installed first; if the dependency fails, the main app will not install.
