MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows 11 devices. They want to deploy a Win32 app that requires user interaction during installation. The app must be installed with administrative privileges. Which installation behavior setting should you configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to assume 'User context' is required for user interaction, but they overlook that administrative privileges are only possible with 'System context'. The requirement for admin privileges overrides the need for interaction, so the correct answer is System context.
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 context (device)
The correct setting is 'System context (device)' because the app must be installed with administrative privileges. In Intune, the 'System' installation behavior runs the installer as the SYSTEM account, which inherently has administrative privileges. While this context does not allow user interaction, the requirement for admin privileges takes precedence. If user interaction were absolutely necessary, a different installation method (such as running the installer in user context with self-elevation) would be required, but the question asks for the installation behavior setting that provides administrative privileges, which is System context.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Installation time (64-bit vs 32-bit)
Why it's wrong here
Installation time (64-bit vs 32-bit) is not a valid installation behavior setting; it's an architecture consideration.
- ✓
System context (device)
Why this is correct
System context (device) is correct because it ensures the installer runs with administrative privileges (as SYSTEM). Although user interaction is not possible in this context, the requirement for admin privileges is satisfied. If interaction is needed, the app must handle it via other means.
- ✗
Device restart behavior
Why it's wrong here
Device restart behavior controls restart but not installation context.
- ✗
User context (user)
Why it's wrong here
User context (user) is incorrect because while it allows user interaction, it does not provide administrative privileges by default. The installer would run without the necessary permissions unless it self-elevates, but the setting itself does not grant admin rights.
