MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
A company wants to deploy Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise to Windows 10 devices using Intune. They need to ensure that the apps are updated automatically from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN). Which update channel should they select in the Office app deployment configuration?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the Monthly Enterprise Channel with the Current Channel, assuming that 'Monthly' implies the same rapid update frequency as Current Channel, when in fact Current Channel updates multiple times per month and is not the recommended default for managed enterprise deployments.
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
✓
Monthly Enterprise Channel
The Monthly Enterprise Channel is the correct choice because it provides a predictable, once-per-month update cadence with security and quality updates, and it is designed for enterprise environments that require automatic updates from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) via Intune. This channel balances receiving new features sooner than the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel while still offering managed deployment through configuration profiles.
