MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows devices. They need to deploy a required app to all devices in the marketing department. The app is a Microsoft Store app (new). What should you do first?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is overcomplicating the deployment by using Win32 packaging or scripts instead of the native Microsoft Store app (new) type.
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
✓
Add the app from the Microsoft Store app (new) in Intune and assign it to the marketing department group as required.
To deploy a Microsoft Store app (new) to a group, you add the app in Intune by selecting the Microsoft Store app (new) type, search for the app, and then assign it to the target group with the required intent. This is the standard and supported method.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Deploy the app using a PowerShell script that installs it from the Microsoft Store.
Why it's wrong here
While you can use PowerShell to install Store apps, it is not the recommended method in Intune. Using the built-in Microsoft Store app (new) type provides better management, reporting, and assignment capabilities. This approach would require additional scripting and may not integrate well with Intune's app deployment features.
- ✗
Create a configuration profile that installs the app from the Microsoft Store.
Why it's wrong here
Configuration profiles are used to configure device settings, not to deploy applications. There is no configuration profile that installs Store apps. App deployment must be done through the Apps section in Intune using the appropriate app type.
- ✓
Add the app from the Microsoft Store app (new) in Intune and assign it to the marketing department group as required.
Why this is correct
The Microsoft Store app (new) app type in Intune allows you to search and add apps directly from the Microsoft Store. You can then assign the app to a group with the required intent. This is the correct first step to deploy a Store app to a specific department.
- ✗
Package the app as a Win32 app using the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool and deploy it as required.
Why it's wrong here
Packaging a Microsoft Store app as a Win32 app is not supported and unnecessary. The Win32 app type is for traditional desktop applications, not Store apps. Using the Microsoft Store app (new) type is the correct and simpler method for deploying Store apps.
