MD-102 Practice Question: A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows…
A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 10 devices. They need to deploy a line-of-business (LOB) app that is not available in the Microsoft Store. The app is packaged as an .msi file. Which TWO steps are required to deploy this app via Intune?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates think uploading the .msi directly is sufficient, but Intune requires the .intunewin wrapper for Win32 apps, and they may also mistakenly believe a PowerShell script is mandatory for silent installation when the .msi’s built-in silent switches can be specified in the app deployment configuration.
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
✓
Assign the app to a group of users or devices.
After preparing the Win32 app, you must assign it to a group of users or devices in Intune to trigger deployment. Without assignment, the app is uploaded but not installed on any target. This step is mandatory for any Intune-managed app deployment.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Upload the .msi file directly as a Microsoft Store for Business app.
Why it's wrong here
Store apps are different; LOB apps use .intunewin.
- ✗
Install the app on a file server and configure a shortcut.
Why it's wrong here
Intune distributes the app package directly.
- ✓
Assign the app to a group of users or devices.
Why this is correct
App must be assigned to a target group.
- ✓
Convert the .msi file to the .intunewin format using the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool.
Why this is correct
Intune requires .intunewin for Win32 apps.
- ✗
Create a PowerShell script to install the app silently.
Why it's wrong here
Installation commands are defined in the app properties, not script.
