MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
A company uses Microsoft Intune to manage Windows devices. The IT team needs to deploy a new Microsoft Store app (new) to a group of users. The app must install automatically when users sign in, and users must not be able to uninstall it. Which assignment type should you configure for the app?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming any assignment that mentions a deadline forces installation, when available assignments never include deadlines and always leave the choice to the user.
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
✓
Required
Required assignments push the app to devices automatically and, for Microsoft Store apps (new), prevent users from uninstalling it. Available assignments leave installation to the user, Uninstall assignments remove the app, and there is no available-with-deadline assignment type. Required is the only choice that meets both automatic installation and uninstallation prevention.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Available for enrolled devices with a required install deadline
Why it's wrong here
Available assignments do not support a required install deadline; that concept applies to required assignments with a deadline. Available apps remain optional in the Company Portal. This option misstates the available assignment behavior and would not force installation or block uninstallation.
- ✓
Required
Why this is correct
Required assignments install the app automatically on targeted devices without user action. For Microsoft Store apps (new), required assignment also prevents users from uninstalling the app through normal means, satisfying both conditions. This is the correct assignment type when the app must be present and managed by IT.
- ✗
Uninstall
Why it's wrong here
Uninstall assignments remove the app from targeted devices. Using this would actively delete the app rather than deploy it, which is the opposite of the goal. It also does not provide any installation or uninstallation prevention behavior, so it cannot satisfy the requirements.
- ✗
Available for enrolled devices
Why it's wrong here
Available assignments publish the app to the Company Portal for users to install on demand. Users choose whether to install, and they can typically uninstall it later. This does not meet the requirement for automatic installation or prevention of uninstallation, so it is unsuitable for the scenario.
